We'll have a new poll question today and more of your phone calls as well. Once again, Bill Cower will stop by the Steelers exit stage left. But it's more than just that. It's the future of Aaron Rodgers, the future of Mike Tomlinson. And we spent a lot of time in the first hour talking about Aaron Rodgers won't have many options. He may not even have the option of coming back to Pittsburgh. Unrestricted free agent Mike Tomlin will have options. He'll have a lot of options. Is Pittsburgh one of those options and does he hold those cards that if he wants to come back, he can coach again next year in Pittsburgh? If he wants to do tv, he will have ample opportunities to do that as well. I don't see him coaching another team next year, but I do see him coaching Pittsburgh again. And if not, then he'll be in tv. All right, Satan. Poll question from hour one. Let's clean up the results on that. And what are we going to go with hour two? Yeah, we had two of them up there. Has Aaron Rodgers played his last game, yes or no? 82% say yes. And has Mike Tomlin coached his last game with the Steelers? That's 50, 50, 50.1 say no. It's about as close as you could get. Okay. Yeah. I hope he still coaches. I mean, he's a great coach. And, and I say this all the time. When you want change, who were you bringing in? Remember when Steeler fans couldn't stand their offensive coordinator? You brought in another offensive coordinator and you want to bring in another offensive coordinator. You can have change, but you have to have correct change. Yes. You know how we say all the time like not every coordinator is A head coach? Yes. And, you know, some people go up and like, man, you're not. It's a totally different job where Mike Tomlin's a head coach. Yes. He's not a coordinator. It's like Mike McDonald is. Mike McDaniels is not a head coach. I thought he was an offensive coordinator. Yeah, he might be. And I could see him if he went to Detroit. That's. That's the kind of offensive coordinator you want who's not getting another head coaching job. And there was a report that they were inter interviewing or willing to interview with Detroit. I think that would be a wonderful hire for the Lions because when you get these coordinators, they want to be a head coach, but not everybody should be a head coach because it takes away from what you did really well. You're really good at this. Now you got to be really good at all, or at least you have to be good, not great at all of this. When you become a head coach, you got to be overseeing the defense, special teams, offense, salary cap, all of this stuff. Draft. Sometimes when you go, all I have to do is worry about the offense. And if that's what you said that Mike McDaniel was going to be doing, I think with Detroit would be awesome. Yes, Marv, but how do you know if somebody's not a head coach or not if you don't give them the opportunity? I have to know about your personality. Like, there, there are certain guys that when they go in, they command a room. Now, it might not be fair, but you are. You're the CEO. You're the face of the franchise. When you're at these press conferences, you're meeting with the media, you're performing, and they're guys who, like Charlie Weiss, I didn't think he was a head coach. Romeo Cornell, I didn't think he was a head coach. Josh McDaniels, I didn't think he was a head coach. But these are really like hall of Fame worthy coordinators. But you know what? I never thought Bill Belichick was going to be a great coach because I didn't think he had the personality to be a great coach, to connect with people. But he became the greatest NFL coach of all time. Nick Saban. The more I was around him, the more I understood why he became a great coach. Mike Shashevsky. The more you're around him, the more you realize why he became a great coach. And, you know, you command a room. You're, you know, talking. You got to connect with players. It, it's, it's running a company. You got to meet with the media. You got to put up with us. Big plays, big moments. Now it's on you to make the call. Not, hey, I put the offense in place. What is the call? Coach? It's just different. And I've seen this so many times where I want somebody to get that opportunity. I hate to be in a position where there's a glass ceiling and I didn't get that opportunity. It's like Adam Gaze. I didn't think he was a head coach. You know, Robert Sala, I thought was gonna be a good head coach. I did. Liam Cone, I don't know enough about. Don't know enough about his personality. I knew he did a great job in Tampa, but because you turned Baker Mayfield around doesn't mean you're going to be a great coach. Yes, Marv, but Robert Salah was the coach of the Jets. That's a mulligan. You got to give him another shot. Vince Lombardi could have taken over that jets team. It would have been gone in two years. Salah looked like a head coach. Yes, he did. Okay. There's certain guys that look like a head coach. He got a great skull, you know, he just. He had everything. He's still head coachee. He still had coachee for sure. Head coaching said coachy. Yeah. All right, we'll get to phone calls coming up. Of course, the situation with the Steelers is fluid, as they like to say. When. When do you need answers from? No, you start with Mike Tomlin. Then do they know what their answer already is on Aaron Rodgers and I, I, you know, there was. There was a fumble and Aaron Rodgers was down on the ground, and then he's kind of getting back up. And it just felt like in that moment, if I had a thought bubble, Rogers would be like, why? Why am I doing this? What? I mean, I wake up after a nap and have more energy getting up than Aaron Rogers. It was just like, oh, my God, I get older and they get younger. What was that? Dazed and Confused. Every year I get older, they stay the same age. Yes, that's Aaron Rogers. These young guys coming in, man, and they are coming at you. He's just not the guy that he used to be. And, you know, we can't expect him to be that. All right, we'll get phone calls coming up. By the way, there was a report yesterday on the mothership, and it had to do with the College Football Playoff situation. And are we now it's a week from this Friday that they're going to be deciding if they're moving to 16 games. Now, I told you six weeks ago. You know what they were. There were strong consideration for going to 16. I did say there's a caveat of the Big Ten wants to go to 24 teams. So I told that to you six weeks ago. Nothing has changed. The Big Ten's push to go to 24 remains the sole stumbling block for all of this. If the. Now, this is from my Source. If the SEC and Big Ten can't agree, we will stay at 12 teams next year and nobody has any interest in that result. Which means in the world of college athletics, it's possible they stay at 12. And then he adds college athletics, the proud daily study of dysfunction. Here was something that happened with Mike McDaniel. He's in the middle of talking to players. So this was when he was coaching the Dolphins. At the end of the season, he's. You don't exit interviews with players. This is last Thursday. The owner interrupted the interview with this player or players to fire him. Wow. Boy, that seems like John Harbaugh is available. You're fired. Like, can't you wait till the end of the day? Maybe when he is going to interview another player. Hey, Mike, you don't need to interview players anymore, okay? You're. You're. You're fired. So this. I just got this information. Mike McDaniel was in the middle of a player exit interview last Thursday when owner Stephen Ross interrupted him to fire him. Yes, Paul. Imagine you're the middle linebacker in the room, you know, 25. And.
