00:00I'll tell you about ratings.

00:01Mike Tomlin's rating in Pittsburgh, quite low right now,

00:04where they're talking about him going back to college.

00:06Let's take a look at some of these past comments for Tomlin

00:08actually talking about college.

00:11Mike, at any point in your coaching career,

00:14did you ever have an interest or express an interest

00:17in being a head coach in the college game?

00:19And do you have any idea how that may or may not have led

00:23to folks like Ryan and Doug Whaley and Carson Palmer

00:25connecting you to some college jobs?

00:27Hey, guys, I don't have time for that speculation.

00:30I mean, that's a joke to me.

00:32I got one of the best jobs in all of professional sport.

00:36Why would I have any interest in coaching college football?

00:40That'll be the last time that I address it.

00:42And not only today, but moving forward.

00:44Never say never, but never.

00:48Okay?

00:49Anybody else got any questions about any college jobs?

00:52There's not a booster with a big enough blank check.

00:56Anyone else?

00:58All right.

00:59Anybody asking Sean Payton about that?

01:02You know, anybody asking Andy Reid about stuff like that?

01:04Oh, he's about to get asked by it again,

01:11because now you have previous players and stalwarts in that organization

01:15in the past going, hey, he'd be a good fit at Penn State.

01:18Let's make that happen, Joe.

01:20Somebody's got to, come on.

01:21If I am in that press room, that's the first question he's getting.

01:24Any rumors that you're going, any truth of the rumors

01:27that you are going to Penn State, coach?

01:29What do you think, Joe?

01:30You know, Donnie, before I had seen that clip there,

01:34I would have said, there's no way he's going back to college.

01:37Now that I've seen that clip, he's going back to college.

01:40He's probably already half a foot in the door at the Penn State job.

01:44Just saying.

01:45I'm just saying.

01:46And that was a whole lot of energy and effort to dispel a question

01:51that a simple, yeah, no, next question would have subvised.

01:56And by the way, when he says there's no check big enough from a booster,

01:59Penn State is in a tough spot right now.

02:02And if he goes, I make $15 million with the Steelers,

02:05and they go, we'll pay you $18 million,

02:08and it'll be a guaranteed contract for five years,

02:10and you can do whatever you want, that might not be a bad option.

02:13You stay and stay, you go to Penn State, and away you go at this point.
