They screwed up that situation only like the Browns could.
And people wondered, why did so many guys turn that job down?
Like, the guys that the Steelers had...
in virtual interviews at least, like Sheilhaus, the hot names.
They were turning the Browns away, and it was because we came to find out the Browns wanted to force Jim Schwartz on them.
Like, hey, if you come in here, we're already picking this guy to be the DC.
You have to work with him.
And maybe that wasn't something that they wanted to do.
So they dropped out of the process with Cleveland.
Monken was one of the guys that apparently said, yeah, I'm cool with that.
They didn't run that by Jim Schwartz, apparently.
No, they didn't.
Because then when Monken got the job, he, I think rightfully, got upset about it.
Like, why not just hire him?
If you wanted him to be on the staff so bad, just make him the head coach.
Haven't won a game in Cleveland since Roethlisberger retired, and he is eligible for the Hall of Fame.
What sucked, too, is that going into that game, I thought, okay, so many people are assuming they're just going to drop the ball here and they're going to lose this game.
They're going to lay an egg.
And I was talking myself out of it all week.
I'm like, they can't go there and lose.
