  Speaker 2: possible part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: forty years, ty Rak has been helping customers find the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: right tires for how, what and where they drive. Customers

  Speaker 2: which makes Sean the Hood Guy very happy, and Pete
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh knows the Tire Act dot com is the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: way tire buying sure b So we gave our knightly
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: sermon in a previous episode of the show, and we said,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't I wouldn't leave. Why would you leave? You
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: have good job? Why would you leave? Our lead is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: obviously from the land of the insert, the land of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the insert hours just hours after the humiliation situation in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a seven to six game, early fourth quarter to get
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: blown to bits by the Texans and a lot of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds. The winds of chain you have blown.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You can almost hear them, the winds of change right there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So maybe maybe the wind's not blowing where you are.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Possibly not so. Mike Tomlin has quit as coach of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the Steelers. He's out, Bye bye, He's gone, ending a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: nineteen year run during which he never had a losing season,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: never had a losing season, Mike Tomlin, And before his resignation,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Tomlin was the longest tenured head coach of a single
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: North American professional sports franchise. And now he's out. He's out,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and he's stepped down and see you later, and he
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is not expected to coach anywhere in twenty twenty six
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of though, who knows he wake up today and say,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: ah ya, psych again, I'm gonna who really wants to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: coach any of these teams that have openings? Most of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: them blow anyway. It's good jumping off point. A lot
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to unpack, as my Mike Tomlin has exited stage left
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: from Pittsburgh. So the question I have here is we
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: discussed the question why why did Mike Tomlin decide to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: walk away from the Steelers. And generally when people leave jobs,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I say, well, they didn't leave, they were forced out,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they were pushed, They didn't jump, they were poor pushed.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: On this one, I don't think that's the case. Tomlin
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: did decatur leave. So my thoughts on this, I've got Tabernacle,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: George Michael's sports machine for the Ogs, and Ron Pope
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Peel and we will combine all of these things together
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna make some Kung pou chicken is what
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: we're gonna make. Delicious, kind little rice. Put that on
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the rice, Yum yum to my tom tum right, not bad,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: not bad, all right. So a Mike Tomlin, he did
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: not walk away in this case because of the ownership
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh shoveing him out the door. When Pete Carroll,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I remember when Pete Carroll left the Seahawks and they
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: spun it like it was a mutual decision. No, this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Seahucks didn't want Pete Carroll anymore. It was a mutual decision.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He just played nice and so this is not how
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: they roll in Western PA. It's not how they roll there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: They don't do that. And so this ownership group, So
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: what happened After a minutes long Mallard deliberation of the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: available evidence, we weighed all of the evidence, and here's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: our verdict on the Mike Tomlins story. This was a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: customer driven divorce, is what.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: This was.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Death by a thousand paper cuts, or in this case,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it was the Tabernacle Choir of Pittsburgh, PA. Rhythmically chanting
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: fire Tomlin fire, Tomlin, rhythmic chan love my rhythmic channing
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: like monks on Red Bull, rhythmically chanting, and it worked
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: over and over every time things went wrong late in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the season, fier timeln fire, just like that, like a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: broken jukebox. And there you go. It's on Polka night
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: because I love the polka in Pittsburgh. And eventually, even
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a steel beam will bend, Even a steel beam will bend.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It does happen. Yeah, there you go. Oh come on, now,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you haven't lived until you get some hot polka. Oh,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: here we go, everybody, keep it up, smart sailors, all
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: his friends, stealers, Bradshaw, Yeah, update that. So they did
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: actually update it, like sixteen years or whatever, a long
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: time go. They did update it. So listen. That rhythmic
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: chanting was the moment when the fuse met the flame
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and kaboom, kaboom. I thought Tomlin would be okay with it,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and he's got thick skin and all that, but he's like, hey,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: he decided that he didn't want to deal with and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's disappointing. He should have stayed. It's a bad job
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: by him. And he looked around and he saw he
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: has options. Rich man has options. Tomlin's rich, so he's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: got options, and he's like, okay, real ones. You can
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: live the Tony Romo lifestyle with your golf all week,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: do no homework for your broadcast, show up and just
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: speak nonsense, and you get more money than the GDP
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands to do bad television
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and just speak cliches. They wanted it more, Hey, Jim,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: both teams can win the Super Bowl, No crap, they're
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, dummy. Anyway, just put the headset on,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: smile and wink and there you go. Easy money, man,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: easy money. Hey, even I had a TV show, How
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: hard could TV be they gave me a TV show anyway,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about having answer on fourth
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and one. Although Tomlin's the maestro of talking in these
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: big phrases and lines and metaphors and doesn't need to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: really worry about actually answering any of that. And now
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he will not have to worry about people throwing tomatoes
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: from the upper balcony. That will not happen. And I still, again,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I believe it is a mistake. Tomlin's fifty three years old.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: In that profession. You're not that old. You're not a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: museum exhibit in coaching when you're fifty three years old.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So like the great cyborg of years ago, the terminator
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: hit it to be back, he will be back. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, he's following the Sean Payton mantra. Okay,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: what is the Sean paper Well sabbatical playbook? Sabbatical playbook.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the Sean Payton thing. You don't right
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: off into the sunset on a golf cart. He's not
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: doing that. So that's not happening. And a year from
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: now Tomlin will re enter the market and he'll go
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: from an Ivy League tenured professor to a trip across
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the train tracks to the other side of the tracks
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to the hard scrabble streets to some crap bag team
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: like the Jets, and that'll be that, right, or the Saints,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: or you know somewhere you know, you generally don't want
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to go as a coach because they usually stick and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: that's where you're gonna end up. And so technically the
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Steelers own Tomlin's rights because he didn't he had a
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: contract and he retired and didn't retire, he just said
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I'm resigning. So it's a it's a little complicated, but
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it's really not that complicated. You think the Steeler is
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: going to stand in the way of Mike Tomlin coaching
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and the only argument would be, well he can't coach
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: in the division? Well, who cares? The Ravens aren't gonna
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: hire him, and why would you want to coach the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Browns of the Bengals. So you don't have to worry
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: about that. It's just a clerical situation, that's all that is.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: A clerical situation, not a choke chain. It's not that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And Tomlin will have the option if he wants to
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: hand pick his next job, although it won't be a
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: good job, because good jobs don't up on up. The
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: only possibility I was saying about for Tomlin that would
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: be a good job Andy Reid is he's up there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: He Andy Reid another bad year in Kansas City, Mahomes
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: coming off a major injury, you can get the back
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: half of Mahomes prime. If you're Tomlin, that would be
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the job I would go for. I'd be like, Okay,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: So the Steelers, the Chiefs, they're gonna have a middle
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of a pack draft pick this year because they make
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, so they can improve the roster a little bit.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: In theory, then if they have another middling year next year,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that's two middling years. Then Andy Reid gets pushed out.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: They throw him off the cliff, and then Tomlin can
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: go to Kansas City and coach Mahomes And that would
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: be the move I would make. And Pittsburgh, what are
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: they gonna get. They're gonna get an edible arrangement of
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: scratcher tickets. So I enjoy that. Enjoy that bone appetite,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: bone appetite, all right. Now, keeping the theme of the hour,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the Hour of Tomlin, the Hour of Tomlin here, So
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: what made Mike tom here's a question what made Mike
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Tomlin special with the Steelers, So I'll say it about this.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I got an angry message from Spacoli, who's a big
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Steeler fan. I can't believe Malor wanted Tomlin to stay.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It's like he's lost his faith in me as a
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: talk show host because I didn't bury Mike Tomlin after
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the Monday night game. And I look at Tomlin in
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: a business with clowns, as a guy that was like
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the Starbucks or McDonald's of coaching consistency. Now I don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: drink coffee. My wife does You go to Starbucks? Been
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to Starbucks all over the play and it's always the same.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: You go to McDonald's anywhere, it's the big Mac tastes
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the same it does. And the Steelers, if you look
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: at the talent, it's been almost ten years since they
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: had a real legit, big time roster in Pittsburgh. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: yet every year, year after year, Mike Tomlin his team's
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: almost never embarrassed themselves during the regular season. They almost
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: always overachieved based on the level of talent that they have.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: They rarely underachieve in the regular season. And you look
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: at the flotsam and jetsum that they roll out a
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: bunch of spare parts on that roster, and they haven't
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: had a big time quarterback in a long time. Roethlisberger
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: sucked the last couple of years he played. People forget
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: about that because they remember the good times and they
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: block out the car accident, the sixteen car pile up
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: on the interstate. That was Roethlisberger the last couple of years.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They dragged his rotting carcass out there and played quarterback
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Sinities. So he was bad, and yet
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: tom was able to mold them into nine ten eleven
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: win teams year after year. To me, that's real coaching.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: That's roll up your sleeves coaching. I appreciate that. In
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a business that has Mike McDaniel doing whatever the hell
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: he was doing in Miami and like doing a podcast
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: about coffee beans is something welled coaching the dolphin. So Tomlin,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the master polisher, polished a lot of turds, a lot
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: of turds in Pittsburgh, turning some junkyard rosters into playoff teams.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And then, of course in January we all know the story.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: He's now tied with Marvin Lewis for playoff ineptitude and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: those teams that overachieved during the regular season in Pittsburgh,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: they went up against elite competition in playoff games, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the Steelers it was like a vampire at sunrise. It
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't go well. You start sizzling, and then the team
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: starts smoking a little bit and you're getting cinerated. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that was the Steelers year after year in the playoffs,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: just like your favorite vampire movie. Or if you want
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a different analogy, how about the Jenga tower, right, the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Jenga tower and it all collapsed, everything fell apart. Now,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: another question about Mike Tomlin the Hour of Mike Tomlin
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: here on the Ben Maler Show on Fox Sports Radio.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: What are we going to miss about Mike Tomlin during
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: his little coaching sabbatical from the NFL. So this one
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: is easy. He's a staple Tomlin of the holiday season.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin was a mench on the bench, a mensch
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: on the bench, a walking, talking quote machine. And now
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: he wasn't at the level of Jerry Jones. Jerry's in
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the league all by himself. He's in a different galaxy.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones with the Dallas Cowboys. However, Mike Tomlin, while
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: he didn't reach that circus level like they have in
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Jerry's world, Tomlin did feed the George Michael sports machine
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: week after week. It was great. The man Tomlin was
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a Rolex with the microphone in a coaching profession that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: has a lot of Cassio's these days, a lot of them.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: He was smooth, shiny, debonair and always always spitting out
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: those tomlinisms, and whether it was the one he's most
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: known for, the standard is the standard, which is Shakespearean
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: with a whistle and a clipboard. Now some of our favorites.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I went back through my notes because I love Tomlin
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: because of the sound bites as a talk show host,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I can't get it off of Tom. So Tom after
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the Steelers would play a tough game, or when they
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: would play a tough game and the lead up to
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: a tough game, excuse me, in the lead up to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: a tough game, Tomlin would say, we don't run from challenges.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: We run two challenges, which is it's thick bullcrap.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: But I liked it the.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Way he said it was very convincing, and I liked it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: After the Steelers would have a bad loss, he would
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: say something along the lines we have no we make
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: no excuses, we seek no comfort. We didn't play well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: we didn't coach well. We had that famous drop this
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: season about the fans in Pittsburgh when Tomlin said, we
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: want them to be fat and sassy and spoil it
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: is our job. That was a great tomlinism that he said.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I believe it was this year and his final night
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: as coach of the Steelers when they got absolutely mollywopped
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: by the Texans in the fourth quarter. His final night,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin said, we when you don't get it done,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: words are cheap. Either do or you don't. And with
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: that Mike Tomlin channeled porky Pig and said that's all folks,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And the next day he quit. All right, now, last word,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So we have a job opening, something that hasn't happened
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: in a while. And the question is where do the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Steelers go? Where does the Steelers job rank among NFL
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: coaching gigs. We'll get later on on who these Steelers
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: will likely go after, but right now, where does that
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: job ranked? Or are a gazillion jobbo over well over
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent? Now the jobs in the NFL nine
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: gigs opened up. So where does the Steelers job rank?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Where does it rank on the big board? Not a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: list Terry in England. This is a big board, big board,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Benny's big board, not a list. Where does the Steelers
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: job rank among the open NFL gigs? So this is
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: if you go to the hotel. This is not the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: room near the elevator sandwiched on the It's got the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: elevator on one side, the ice machine on the other.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: This is not that. This is the presidential suite with
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the robe and complimentary slippers included. Yeah. Yeah, they got
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a hot tub in the room. Okay, That's what I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: talking about here. And do they have a franchise quarterback?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Hell no, they don't. That's the amazing part. Is the
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: roster that good? No, it's not. It's like a garage sale.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: That roster A lot of has beens, some nobody non achievers.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: You got some underachievers on that team, some washed up,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: overpaid players. So it's flotsam and jetsam that they have
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: on that roster. So why is this job, Dino might?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Why is it dynamite? Because in Pittsburgh the coach gets
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of oxygen and there's no small which is
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: weird because Pittsburgh had a big pollution problem for a
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: long time. Anyway, you get to breathe, there's no owner
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: hovering like a helicopter parent at a Little League baseball
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: game and the Roonies they run that place like a
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: ron Polpio infomercial. It's the ron co coach omatic is
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: what it is. In Pittsburgh. Hire a coach, you plug
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the thing in, and you set the what you might
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: call it, and you walk away, set it and forget it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: That's what they do. Simplicity, simplicity. Now we'll see if
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that's the case once the Steelers hire the wrong coach
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and then start losing ten plus games a year, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see if that pattern continues. But for now, you'd
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: say it's like going into the kitchen and what you've
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: got the pressure cooker because you want something quick. And
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: then that's most NFL jobs, the pressure cooker. And then
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh you got the slow cooker. You just put
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: all the stuff in there and you set it, and
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I sit in the morning when you go
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: to work, and you come back and you got some
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: slop that you can eat, and you can eat. Yeah, yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: low heat, long runway, all that stuff. Get the bag
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: of groceries and there you go. So good good luck
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to the Steelers. And it sounds like they did a lot
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: to talk about them hiring a college coach. I think
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: you got to go younger, right, you want the guy
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: to you know, the last ten plus years. You don'tt
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: to hire a guy in his sixties, So you gotta
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: hire somebody. I'll be in their forties or early fifties
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: would be be the move. Tom Everon, when I was
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: talking to the harmon in here and he was leaving
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, I'm at the point now.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I remember coming in here. We were across the hall
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: talking when Tomlin got hired as coach of the Steelers,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: were like, who the F's this guy? Why they hire him?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: What a boom? Because he didn't really have the resume
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: of a head coach, and then he turned out to
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: be great. And doesn't always work out. Sean McVay didn't
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: have a great resume. He turned out to be good
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: with the Rams, and a lot of those guys that
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: have don't have great resumes don't turn out to be good.
• 20:29

  Speaker 2: ship and the q'es. Right since says a plus on
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: the Mallet monologue, I think Pittsburgh needs to tank next season,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: then draft one of those stud quarterbacks that will be
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: available in twenty twenty seven. Maybe gut the roster for
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: salary cap space.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Always a good idea to intentionally suck. That's worked so
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: well for the Jets and the Browns. He says, play
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the tank and rebuild game for two or three years. Well, yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you go down that rabbit hole and twenty years from now.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I don't understand where the Steelers having not a good
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: team since Tomlin was there because they tried to suck. Yeah,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. The suck and draft strategy is horrific.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It is a blight on all of professional sports. King

  Speaker 2: Rory rights in from Wisconsin. He said third Rail on
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Man Part Rass says, do you believe the next Steelers
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: head coach has to be a minority hire because they
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: were the ones to introduce the Rooney rule? Or am
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I just grabbing a straws?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you're grabbing a straws. I
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: just I've always said, hired the top person. I know
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I'm a dinosaur, and I'm probably wrong to say that
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: you should hire the most qualified person, but that's that's
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: always been my position. That's how I was raised. That
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you hire the top person. You don't just hire someone
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: based on those other things, which is very popular today.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Ferg Dog writes in and says, Mike Tomlin had an
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: impressive nineteen year run with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: got nothing on your run with Fox Sports Radio minus
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: those six months. For Ferd Dog, it's not just six months.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: It was six months in twenty six days. Not that
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I'm coming exact six months in twenty six days, the
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: darkest period in the history of Fox Sports Radio, the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: worst decision company ever made other than some of our
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: old morning shows. Also, I am one of those very
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: famous people, Ferg Dog says, using an alias and a
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: fake avatar, as you mentioned, I couldn't possibly put my
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: real name on these tweets, of course, not of course,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: not late night drug tester rights In, He says tomlin
• 25:48

  Speaker 2: speed skating for NBC at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
• 26:00

  Speaker 8: Are you doing? Listen? Thomas should take a year off
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: and then go back to Pittsburgh. That double the salary.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: You know why, because in the interim, thinking I'd hire
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Bill Belichick as coach, and he is so terrible. They'll
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: be begging Thomas as they come back double the money.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a better chance you get higher than Bill
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Belichick for the Steelers. You understand that. I don't know
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: if you have you ever been to Pittsburgh, but you
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: can get It's a nice city to live in. You

• 28:57
  Speaker 2: all right, all right, great, Tom to terror, let's go
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: to the son of Daryl. Now, I believe I met
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: this gentleman at the epic Kansas City meet and greet
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: and we were right there and joined the Ben Mallard
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: chicken Fingers in Liberty, Missouri, and he made the trek

• 29:37
  Speaker 7: I wanted my giants to maybe get them if they
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: don't get the hardball guy. But also I saw something
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: where the Ravens and the Steelers might do a little
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: slip switch.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: So they're doing that's not happening. What are you talking
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: about coming.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Well, it's I like it just as much as your
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: Kansas City chiefs idea.

• 30:17
  Speaker 2: they said, the Chiefs have another bad year. Two years
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in a row. They missed the playoffs with the homes
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: in the middle of his career. You make a change,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: you force Andy Reid out, and then boom, Tomlin comes in.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: He can eat cheeseburgers in retirement.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Oh well, Andy could do TV.
