Thank you.

Thank you.

I think I mean, I think I have mixed feelings.

I'm not celebrating that he stepped down, but I also think it kind of feels like it was time, like 19 years is a really long time.

It had been sort of the same story for the last few seasons where the team is, you know, closets way into the playoffs.

And then I have to watch a

brutally embarrassing wildcard weekend playoff loss to josh allen or patrick mahomes or uh you know the houston texans defense and so i i get why he would want to move on it doesn't sound like a decision that he made after monday night it sounds like something he'd been thinking about for most of the season based off of jeremy fowler's reporting so i kind of get it it makes sense and you know like i'm i'm sad i'm gonna miss him but you know 20 years is a long time

probably the latter if I had to guess I think it's it's a tough spot for any new coach to come in because the quarterback situation is obviously very unsettled I think the the bright side for me is it sounds like Aaron Rodgers return is extremely unlikely now so that's great didn't want to didn't want to run that one back next year but yeah I mean if you look at the available jobs like

in your same division, you've got a job in Baltimore with a MVP caliber quarterback.

And then you've got the Steelers who have a decent roster, but some flawed, expensive contracts on older players.

But at the same time, there's some nice younger players.

They've drafted well in the interior of the lines and have some nice younger players there.

But with the quarterback situation being what it is, yeah, I think that that's going to be tough for whoever takes that job.

In the big picture, I think Hall of Fame head coach that won a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh that had a record of winning, not losing seasons, winning seasons that I don't think anyone's ever going to break, Greg, honestly.

I think if you look at the last few years, yeah, it's been disappointing, but it's still been better than...

a lot of other teams, and so you give him credit for what he's done with imperfect rosters and without a franchise quarterback.

But over the span of 19 years, I think, without a doubt, a Hall of Famer and one of the best to ever do it.

Dan, you think he's going to go Hall of Fame?

That's a straw man.

Dan, don't fall for it.
