Man, I'll never forget the ice storm in Dallas when the Steelers were there for a Super Bowl and they haven't been back since.

And there's mixed reaction here to the Mike McCarthy hire, whether he'll get them back anytime soon.

I wanted to ask you, Garrett, from your time covering the Cowboys, how would you grade Mike McCarthy's tenure there and where did it go wrong and why?

Garrett, what happened to McCarthy's high-powered offenses in his three playoff losses?

I think he had 12 against the Niners, 17 against the Niners, and then just one touchdown in the first half of that horrifying loss to the Packers.

What happened?

Garrett Podell of CBSSports.com.

All right.

Apparently you have talked to Scott Tolzien down there.

We know that he's a candidate for offensive coordinator here.

Before we get into your conversation and all that, this is what I'm curious about.

What are the duties?

How significant a role is it if you're Mike McCarthy's offensive coordinator?

It's interesting because these guys don't call plays, yet a couple of them have been promoted to head coaches like Brian Schottenheimer.

What's the role there under McCarthy?

What would it be here when he's calling plays?

Lastly, Garrett, any diamond in the rough quarterbacks around there?

I know they're not as great as Will Howard, but how about Mark Gronikowski from Iowa?

Somebody like that?

I don't know.
