00:00Mike Tomlin, he's dealing with some stress right now.
00:04Steelers fans want him fired.
00:06Of course.
00:07That's what he had to say.
00:08In general, I agree with him from this perspective.
00:12Football is our game.
00:14We're in the sport entertainment business.
00:16And so if you root for the Steelers, entertaining them is winning.
00:21And so when you're not winning, it's not entertaining.
00:24And if you've been in this business, you understand that.
00:26And so I respect it.
00:28I share frustrations.
00:29I understand what makes this thing go.
00:31And winning is what makes this thing go.
00:33Wow.
00:35He handled that very gracefully.
00:38Hey, how else is there to handle it?
00:44You have been the longest tenured coach in the NFL.
00:49I've heard.
00:49And you coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:53And these fans expect a lot.
00:57Because that's just the way it's been.
01:00If there was a parting of ways, you want them?
01:06After next year.
01:08What?
01:10Hey, look.
01:11Not for nothing.
01:11If you're going to have Tua for another year, bringing in a new coach is now you're asking for the trouble.
01:23So if you know you're going to have Tua for another year.
01:28If anybody's used to having mediocre quarterbacks, it's Mike Tomlin.
01:31But if you're going to have Tua here next year, I'd say the most you're going to get out of it is if Mike is the coach.
01:41Dude, just have Mike Tomlin here make Brian Dayball, the offensive coordinator.
01:44He had him at Alabama.
01:47That's true.
01:48Do that.
01:49What did you think about that?
01:50Took it to your fancy?
01:51I would say that was.
01:53Kind of got perked up a little bit.
01:54But I will also say this.
01:55I don't want that Arthur Smith.
01:56You think he keeps, I'd keep a D coordinator.
02:01I'd keep.
02:01Oh, Bob and Weave?
02:05Yeah.
02:05Anthony Weaver?
02:06Anthony Weaver.
02:07I like Anthony Weaver.
02:08It's funny that to remember, you had to use the fake name.
02:12That I made up.
02:12The nickname.
02:14Well, let me ask you this.
02:16Because we know that he had a poor first experience with the Dolphins, the hiring process.
02:23Now, that was, I think, previous personnel at the same ownership.
02:28But, also, he was the only guy to give Brian Flores a lifeline after all that was going down.
02:35So, do you think that that would turn him off to even entertaining the Miami Dolphins as an idea?
02:40No, no, no.
02:40You sure?
02:41Here's the problem.
02:42Probably got all that dirt from Flores.
02:44Here's the problem.
02:44Just because you helped a guy after he left a bad relationship doesn't mean that now you get, you know, lumped in with him.
03:02Right?
03:03Like, I don't.
03:04Well, I'm not saying get lumped in with him.
03:06Like, I don't think the Dolphins would rule him out.
03:08I'm saying would he rule out the Dolphins?
03:10Be like, nah.
03:10Yeah, because he, like, when nobody was hired, if he called Brian Flores and said, hey, I don't want to, man, go take that job.
03:21There's only 32 of them in the world.
03:25Now, you get.
03:27Yeah, but he's going to have his pick.
03:28Right?
03:29That's what I guess.
03:29Okay.
03:30Who's going to get fired?
03:31And look at all these situations.
03:33What job do you want?
03:34It's pretty bad.
03:37Giants.
03:38Is the Giants a sexy job right now with Jackson Dart and the, uh, the battering ram in the background and immature Abdul Carter.
03:47Man, he's not going to like Abdul Carter.
03:49I would say if there's a reason why you would probably hire him there so he can get your star player in line.
04:00Yeah, but sometimes he just doesn't have time for that.
04:02Right.
04:02Like he, like.
04:03I'll tell you who's going to be a, if you have a young quarterback, who would be a good, uh, Kevin Stefanski?
04:10Is Stefanski getting fired?
04:12Ooh, would he take the Browns jobs?
04:14Who?
04:15Tomlin.
04:16No.
04:16He's not a quarterback.
04:18Okay.
04:19I didn't know if that was, like.
04:20I didn't know if that was, like.
04:22Unless he likes Shadour.
04:23I didn't know if that was, like, treachery.
04:24Let me take it back.
04:24Unless he likes Shadour.
04:26I don't know.
04:26I mean, nobody knows what Shadour is because they have no talent, no weapons on the outside.
04:33No.
04:34So, it's unfair to even judge him.
04:36Why is he running around?
04:37Because nobody's open.
04:39I know that Steelers fans look at this and they say, like, I don't know why you guys think he's so great.
04:43He won one Super Bowl and he's been a 500 coach.
04:45But, I don't know.
04:46I just look at Mike Tomlin.
04:47He's more than a 500 coach.
04:48I just think of accountability.
04:50Yeah, he's most, you know.
04:51But I'm just saying.
04:51So, here, if I could ask people this, it would be this.
05:02Is a good football coach means you win?
05:07Or if you don't win, you're not a good football coach?
05:10Because I know a lot of guys, and I've seen a lot of coaches that were in some pretty difficult situations that ended up doing a lot better than people thought.
05:22Right.
05:23They just couldn't get.
05:24For example, what Brian Flores did.
05:28When they, back then, I thought those teams were going to be just terrible.
05:31Oh, my God.
05:32Those first eight weeks of football.
05:34Right.
05:34That was the most rad-ass football team I've ever seen in my life.
05:37And so, from that standpoint.
05:39Remember when they started Josh Rosen?
05:41Oh.
05:42Do you remember that, J-Fig?
05:44You want to talk about an en-sweet donut.
05:46Josh Rosen in a Dolphins uniform.
05:48Oh, crap.
05:49Holy crap.
05:49And that's the problem that sometimes, like, we say, oh, Tomlin can't win.
05:57Tomlin can't win.
05:59Okay.
06:00And how much should he have won?
06:02Yeah, especially since Big Ben retired.
06:05Right.
06:06And that's the part that, how many games should the Steelers be winning right now with that team and that quarterback and that offense?
06:13By the way, he was kind of OG Fat Cat.
06:16Who?
06:16Ben Roethlisberger.
06:17Oh, yeah.
06:19Because them last couple years, all he did was just stand back there and, like.
06:24But he was the equivalent to Joker on a football field.
06:28He's like, I don't know.
06:30I just feel like if you're, if there's anybody left who's just got the cachet, I mean, he's only 53 years old.
06:36It's kind of crazy.
06:37You know, like, if anybody's got the cachet for a fresh start that you would actually be like, no, I trust this guy running an organization.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Maybe, maybe to Steelers fans, it's like it's old hat.
06:47But I think through a lot of people, they would, they would kill for the Steelers, like, credibility.
06:52And I feel like the only reason they have credibility is because of him.
06:56Right.
06:57Yeah.
06:57Because, you know what?
06:58Contrary to popular belief, I would like Pittsburgh Steelers fans to, you know what?
07:03Go look at the quarterbacks that this man has won with.
07:07And, and I want to ask you, based on what you've seen, you're telling me that Mike Tomlin should have won more while he was there.
07:16That's basically why you would get rid of him.
07:18Because you think, like, everybody says, oh, it's cute.
07:21He needs a fresh start.
07:22We need a fresh start.
07:23No, the question is, do you think if you had a different coach, that, that different coach would have had more success than Mike Tomlin has had recently with the quarterbacks that he's played with?
07:36Does anybody remember Kenny Pickett?
07:39Oof.
07:41His record, 183, 107, and two.
07:48Eight and 11 in the postseason.
07:50Okay, but that's what happens if you only have one Super Bowl and you go to the playoffs every year.
07:54Like, people say, oh, he doesn't have a winning record in the playoffs.
07:56Not many coaches do unless you win the Super Bowl.
07:59Do you understand that?
08:01Is there any coach?
08:03Think about this.
08:04Is there any coach with a winning record that hasn't, in the playoffs, that hasn't won a Super Bowl?
08:14I don't know.
08:15Because you have to have that one run.
08:16Doesn't seem like it would make sense.
08:17You have to have that one run.
08:18Well, there's only, I mean, how many multiple Super Bowl winners, coaches are there recently?
08:22It's Andy Reid and Bill Belichick.
08:24That's the list, right?
08:25Right.
08:25Like, am I missing anybody?
08:26So, while we sitting here talking about playoff.
08:29Pete Carroll was a pickoff from getting there.
08:31While we sitting here talking about playoff records and playoff records and playoff records, most coaches do have losing records in the playoffs because they don't win the Super Bowl.
08:40If you don't win the Super Bowl, you're losing.
08:42I think he would be the one guy where I'd be like, if you thought, no, I think they're, like, I'm not ruling out that there would be obstacles.
08:48I don't know what his feelings are about Miami.
08:50But if there was one guy where it'd be like, oh, no, like, that's the guy you want.
08:55I feel like that's the guy you got to go.
08:57You got to, you would, you would go after.
08:58And I feel like Steven Ross would be like, oh, that's, that's my feather in the cap to kind of take the organization over for the next.
09:04Right.
09:04Whatever.
09:05So years.
09:06Yep.
09:06And the two thing will be what it'll be like.
09:09I don't know.
09:09I don't know if he, if he has to stick with to find a guy that'll work with to it.
09:12He's if he wants, he's had worse quarterbacks than to right.
09:16That's what I'm saying.
09:18Like, I mean, like if he's, you know, Aaron Rodgers is playing today.
09:21I mean, you know, Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph.
09:25Like he has not had a Mason Rudolph is the only guy that almost got himself killed.
