For the first time in a long time, the Steelers are in search of a head coach, as Mike Tomlin did decide to step down after 19 seasons yesterday. You heard all the fire... Tomlin Chance the other night when they were losing their playoff game on Monday Night Football. And so he leaves having won 193 games in his 19 seasons, eight playoff wins, one Super Bowl championship.

47.597 - 63.315 Gio

Meantime, you've got the Ravens inside that division too, like the Browns looking for a head coach. This was John Harbaugh who was let go. And this was Steve Busciotti yesterday with the media. This is a little bit on the longer side, but how he actually made and came to making the decision.

63.295 - 87.517 Steve Bisciotti

fell on my instincts and and whatever i was feeling was right uh i woke up monday and i was pretty sure that you know i was going to do it and uh you know i've got great partners here and um spent a lot of time with them and asking them their opinions and um You know, I made the decision.

87.778 - 97.966 Gio

And then this one, I swear to God, as I'm listening to it, all I could think of is Al making the decision on the dog, which has not been the best decision of his life. Here's Bashadi with a lot of conviction here.

98.327 - 106.802 Steve Bisciotti

I got to the point that I didn't... believe that I would feel regret after I made that decision. And that's what instinct is.

Chapter 2: Why did Steve Bisciotti decide to fire John Harbaugh?

107.403 - 117.237 Steve Bisciotti

When you finally get to the point that you're pretty damn sure that you are not going to regret the decision a day or a week later, then that's the time to make the decision.

0

117.257 - 127.351 Gio

He regrets every decision he makes. That's right. So, pretty funny. He was asked if Lamar Jackson was heavily involved in this or if he had any involvement.

0

127.371 - 130.275 Steve Bisciotti

No, Lamar did not have an outsized...

0

130.255 - 157.073 Gio

part of my decision my decision I think by Monday was pretty much set he did talk to him but it was already a done deal and then coming back full circle to Tomlin I played last hour as he was told while talking to the media about Tomlin leaving the Steelers he also went a little further good for Mike yeah I don't know talk to him

0

157.357 - 164.644 Steve Bisciotti

I love Mike. I mean, I've admired Mike for 18 years. And that's really... Shocking.

164.904 - 170.51 Gio

And talk to him was in reference to the initial question of could he be a candidate to coach the Ravens?

170.53 - 186.209 Boomer Esiason

He also said he might have been if he didn't do that beating on his chest thing with the kiss that he did to the camera when the field goal was missed. He reenacted it, Bashadi. He goes, yeah, before he did the doot-doot and kiss, maybe he would have been a candidate.

186.229 - 197.002 Gio

Joking around. I think this is it. Good for Mike. Good for Mike. If Tyler Luke. No, that's not it either. All right, I thought I had that one, but maybe I didn't. I got so many of them here. The Eagles did fire Kevin Petullo.

Chapter 3: What were the highlights of Mike Tomlin's coaching career?

197.022 - 205.934 Gio

The Chargers fired Greg Roman. The Broncos played the Bills Saturday. Denver getting Dre Greenlaw back from the hamstring injury. Saturday night, Seahawks and Niners. Here's Kyle Shanahan.

Chapter 4: How did Mike Tomlin's departure affect the Steelers?

206.355 - 213.925 Gio

So last time they played Seattle was week 18 just a couple of weeks ago, and they were really bad offensively. He was asked, why was that the case?

0

213.905 - 229.825 Unknown

You know when another team holds the ball for a while, similar to what we did in the first game, how on point you have to be. And whether that's doing better on first and second down, so you avoid as many third downs as we did. But if you don't do that, you've got to do good on third down. I think we converted one third down in that game up until that point.

0

229.845 - 238.636 Gio

And also the Seahawks' defense was incredible, which is why they didn't convert many third downs. Speaking of Seattle, they had the bye week, and head coach Mike McDonald says it's kind of weird.

0

238.756 - 259.017 Unknown

I told the team today, it's weird watching... full games all the way through. You find yourself rooting for teams and you're like, why am I rooting for this team? This is the dumbest thing ever. Then five seconds later, you're rooting for the other team. I'm glad it's over. I'm glad we're back to regular scheduled programming here.

259.358 - 268.31 Gio

They'll be in prime time on Saturday night. You guys were talking about Bryce Young briefly last hour. Here was Dan Morgan. His thoughts on where Young is right now as a quarterback?

268.45 - 282.231 Unknown

I think Bryce has shown You know, flashes of greatness this year against high-level competition. You know, I think just as a team, we weren't as consistent as we wanted to be on a game-to-game basis.

282.291 - 285.096 Gio

That said, he does like the direction the team's heading in.

285.196 - 291.905 Unknown

You have a young team that's... building continuity, and kind of figuring themselves out.

291.945 - 296.751 Gio

Might have been 8-9, but they did win the division, so we heard from him yesterday as well.

Chapter 5: What insights did Bisciotti share about Lamar Jackson's role in the decision?

411.561 - 418.17 Gio

So after the game, as he's talking to the media, a reporter asked if that was what he was doing. He says, you're damn right I was.

0

418.431 - 424.98 Giannis Antetokounmpo

When I get booed, I boo back. I've been doing it all season. You guys haven't been with me on the road. Whenever I get booed, I boo back.

0

425.939 - 427.101 Unknown

I mean, it doesn't matter.

0

427.642 - 430.288 Giannis Antetokounmpo

I don't. It doesn't matter. It does not matter.

0

430.568 - 434.196 Gio

He says booing me here is odd, but you know what? Do what you want.

434.356 - 443.635 Giannis Antetokounmpo

It doesn't matter from my home away. But yeah, I've never been a part of something like that before, and I don't think it's fair. I don't.

444.076 - 444.336

But.

444.805 - 447.81 Giannis Antetokounmpo

Everybody has the opinion to do what they want to do.

447.83 - 458.226 Gio

And then lastly, and let this one play to the end because this is the mic drop clip, which is pretty funny. He says, you can do what you want. That's fine. But I can also do what I want. And he gives a reason for it at the end.
