Brian Batko

Maybe he is.

Maybe he wasn't.

But I think when you just look at their histories and Minter doesn't have a history as a head coach, yeah, you can definitely make a case for big Mike.

No, I did that for the Art Rooney II press conference the day after Mike Tomlin stepped down.

And then it was so brief and there were so many people there that it was sort of a waste of my time.

But I've still got...

about an hour and a half here to compile some things.

But the way these work, Joe, I mean, we listen to them every Tuesday with Mike Tomlin and maybe we'll get McCarthy Mondays going forward.

But there's so many people covering this team that it's not like you ever really get a chance to run down a list like when you're doing a one-on-one interview with somebody.

There will be plenty of

plenty of voices in the room and plenty of questions to be asked from all angles, many of which I'm sure were the same ones that were on my mind.

No, I don't do that.

I don't do the yelling over people.

I don't think I'm that important, but I also tend to try to

sense like if if the person sitting next to me uh is like you know starting a word or you see something coming off his or her lips and i'm like okay well they've got something at the ready i'm not going to jump in here i'm going to kind of defer because i know that that's the the rhythm of the room right now but it doesn't it doesn't always work that way very nicely said by the mongoose limits do you have any questions as a savvy young news hound about how brian handles these things

No, I don't.

I think some people might get annoyed or frustrated by that.

But no, I mean, I think that's just, that's just part of the job.

And at the end of the day, we're still

covering sports.
