But as far as DC goes, I think you'd probably want to bet on someone who has a tangible background

history uh running a defense and you know hey Anthony Weaver if he doesn't get a head coaching job did the Steelers like a lot of what they heard from him when they picked his brain for the role that ultimately went to McCarthy I don't know I think he would be another interesting one to throw out there what'd you think of the Bills hiring Brady promoting Brady I heard a little bit of the uh

the consternation from you as I was waiting on the line.

I mean, I'm with you, Joe.

I don't get it.

And that's not necessarily a criticism of Joe Brady.

He might be good.

He might be bad.

I'm not really sure.

But I thought going away from McDermott, the most sensible thing to do would be to go away from McDermott in basically the hierarchy that landed you in this

streak of seven consecutive letdowns that apparently forced Terry Pagola to pull the plug and yet you just kind of come back to someone who was working with him and under him anyway I don't know I thought the whole idea was get a very different voice and energy and philosophy and face of the franchise in the room and yet they just sort of kicked the can down the road

Good question, isn't it?

Minter's an unknown.

It is a good question.

Minter's clearly an unknown.

The Browns don't have a coach right now, so...

I guess they're disqualified.

So it's really Mike McCarthy, Jesse Minter, or Zach Taylor.

I'd say yeah, probably.

But that doesn't necessarily mean he was the right fit for the Steelers at this moment.
