other side of the coin, if you will, from not only what the Steelers have done over the last 60-plus years, but also just Mike McCarthy coming home.

Oh, that part of it is such a great story.

We rarely see that.

A guy coaching or playing for the team that he grew up rooting for, and Mike McCarthy oozes Pittsburgh.

You can hear it in every word that comes out of his mouth.

But at the same time, they got some work to do to get the Steelers fans on board with it.

And I think at the core, and I've been thinking about this for a few days, and I'm in Steelers country.

I'm 100 miles south of Akershire Stadium right now.

A lot of Steelers fans around.

They were all perplexed.

And I think that the core is...

They feel like they should be getting guys who are in demand.

And McCarthy hasn't exactly been a hot commodity.

McCarthy was fired, contract not renewed, however you want to apply.

When your contract's not renewed, you're fired.

by the Cowboys last year.

He got one interview last year with the Bears.

This year he had two with the Titans and with the Giants.

And then the Steelers had a vacancy and he became one of the candidates and he got the job.
