Mike McCarthy going to Pittsburgh feels
0:03
to me to be such a lateral move
0:10
to be a moment where the Pittsburgh
0:13
Steelers lost their way.
0:16
The Pittsburgh Steelers dating back to
0:21
were very confident and proud of who
0:28
not reactionary to the boobirds and to
0:31
the fan base, critics,
0:41
We will draft well. We will develop
0:43
well. We will build winners. And we will
0:45
build winners with patience and with
0:48
time and with care and with defense and
0:50
with smarts. And um we will just we will
0:55
not fall into the trap that other
0:56
franchises do which is reach now to
1:02
fans. We won't look for quick fixes and
1:06
we won't go with name brands. We will
1:08
trust our instincts. We will go with a
1:11
guy that we see a future with and that's
1:15
going to be who we ride with. And you'll
1:18
we trust ourselves. You'll see.
1:22
worked to the tune of a dynasty with
1:24
Chuck Null, worked to the tune of 15
1:27
incredible years with Bill Cower, and it
1:30
worked to the tune of 19 years with Mike
1:35
this was a hire that went against all of
1:37
that. They brought in a guy that has
1:40
name recognition in Mike McCarthy
1:43
and has roots to Pittsburgh, which to me
1:46
felt like plating an audience
1:50
that Steelers ownership heard the booze.
1:53
They heard them fire Tomlin Chance and
1:56
to get them off their back, they said,
1:58
"Hey, you've heard of this guy, right?
2:01
Hey, and he's from Pittsburgh, right?
2:03
And hey, you don't like our offense?
2:04
He's an offensive guy, right?"
2:08
They don't have a quarterback that Mike
2:09
McCarthy is going to develop on this
2:12
And Mike McCarthy at 62 years old ain't
2:15
going to be around for 15 years like any
2:19
And Mike McCarthy is going to walk into
2:23
a situation much like his last
2:27
McCarthy has one playoff win of the last
2:30
decade. Sound familiar? For Steelers
2:33
fans, they were belly aching that Mike
2:35
Tomlin had zero playoff wins in the last
2:37
decade. Well, Mike Tomlin uh Mike
2:38
McCarthy has one. He beat an 8 and9
2:42
Buccaneers team that won the NFC South.
2:44
That's his only playoff win in the last
2:49
I don't know. Feels like a lateral move
2:51
to me. I thought it would make far more
2:53
sense for a guy like Chris Schula, a
2:56
young defensive coordinator from the
2:57
Rams who you could build a future with,
3:01
who brought in some of the same
3:04
tenacity that you saw in Tomlin and in
3:09
You have talent of that side of the
3:11
football. Probably needs to be utilized
3:13
better. It's the highest priced defense
3:17
And instead, I just think that they went
3:21
what do we expect? I expect much of the
3:24
same in Pittsburgh. I expect a slightly
3:27
above 500 type of team that might have a
3:31
little bit better of an offense, but
3:33
again is an early exit in January. I
3:36
don't think that you should expect much
3:38
more than that. Mike McCarthy at his
3:41
disposal had Dak Prescott, a pretty
3:43
great quarterback in Dallas. And in
3:45
Green Bay, Aaron Rogers. They got
3:47
neither one of those in Pittsburgh.
3:48
Neither one. And if they did, I think
3:50
Mike Tomlin probably still has his job.
