But yeah, I think this is going to work very well.

I think Andy, Omar and Mike have known each other for like 25, 30 years.

I think it's going to be a good relationship.

It's not going to be like Mike.

I was thinking about that this week.

Mike Tomlin would actually be in the drills coaching these guys.

I was down there for many of those senior bowls.

He would be involved in the actual practices.

Like you said, McCarthy probably isn't going to be that way, but that doesn't mean that Mike McCarthy and his staff won't be involved at some point either.

Yeah, I mean, I think we'll probably announce that today.

And I think in any coaching situation, Joe, sometimes you'll see a head coach go out and hire somebody he really doesn't know or hasn't worked with.

But 95% of the time, those guys are hiring guys that they've already worked with or guys that they've received very high recommendations for.

So Patrick Graham worked for Mike back in 2018.

I don't know if you guys remember this.

You guys might be able to dig up some old audio or some old Tomlin transcripts, but he was always very complimentary of Patrick Graham's defenses when the Steelers faced, I guess it was the Raiders, where Graham was most recently.

Mike always had good things to say about, you know, what Graham was doing with his defenses.

So he's well-respected.

Is his resume the same as a guy like Raheem Morris?

No, it's not.

But maybe, you know, he can get some more stuff on his resume working with this group of Steelers and under Mike McCarthy again.
