What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Bob, have you ever noticed that Limits is a chameleon? This guy changes looks more than Bob Dylan through the years. Look at him today. He's clean shaven. I am. He's got a pit. He doesn't look anything like he looked like a week ago. He's a chameleon. Do you agree with that, Bob? No. I don't either. I don't think so. No. Why would you say that?
It's because I'm wearing a hat and yesterday I wasn't.
A week ago, he had a mustache. Yeah. His hair was coming out of the hat. This week, he's clean shaven, short hair. I had short hair last week. A little pirate's cap. He looks nothing like the man he was.
You know what that means, don't you? There is a secret lady in his life.
Is there? Yeah. No. He's clean.
Yes.
And if there was, you wouldn't tell people because of how past experiences have gone. You've been traumatized by the rest of the staff.
Yeah, that is true. But I would tell you off the air. You would? Off the air, I would, yeah. I would tell Bob first.
And there's nothing happening on that front, huh?
Correct.
Mustache didn't help?
Never attempted with the mustache. Maybe he should. Maybe I should. I've been told that I should. I like the clean shaven. Do you? Yeah, that's a better look. I've gone back and forth.
Back to Art. He addressed the media today. We're just basically running on that and every once in a while raising our hand and commenting. What's cooking? Brought to you by your local Geico rep, Tim Hester. Thank you, Mr. Hester. Very kindly. It's rainy with a high of Mel Blunt today, 47, a low of Kent to Colby, 27. Fan weather brought to you by Meyers Lager, Pittsburgh's choice for affordable legal solutions. Back to the tape.
All right. In terms of that, with the new head coach, will you open that door for them to create a staff or do you want to add to that?
No, that's a big part of the search for a new head coach is really understanding their ideas about the staff and who they would want to hire. So, yeah, that's an important part of the discussion.
New coach, will he have as much say in player personnel as Mike did, or will the dynamics and chain of command kind of shift a little bit with how long Omar's been in his role?
Yeah, I don't think I anticipate really changing our structure or chain of command. I expect a new head coach soon. like Bill Cowher, like Mike Tomlin, like Chuck Knoll, will be very involved in preparing for the draft and working closely with Omar and his staff and making sure we're ready.
Wow, the Mongoose stepped up big time there. That's the question of the day. I was just asking Kabaly that earlier. We spoke of this, that the sea change and how the Steelers philosophically Went about it with coaching was with Chuck Knoll when Dan Rooney conferred all power, final power, I should say, over draft picks to Chuck Knoll. He made it a coach-centric organization, and that did not change with Cower. We saw it play out in his power struggle with Tom Donahoe, and it sure, sure didn't change under Mike Tomlin, and that's Art saying, basically, what I hear, Bob, we're going to keep it that way.
It's going to command the same, but there is a lot of input that they all put into it. They wouldn't do all that work. Somebody's got to do all the work to present these guys to you, and then it looks like it's going to be the head coach who has to... And even though I... I understand that. I still think there are times when someone makes a case to him and says, look, this is a better, and then he will take that. Of course. There's got to be that.
The point is to have final say.
Right.
And that's a lot to give a coach. I don't think the Philadelphia coach ever has that. That is a GM-centric organization. They have Howie Roseman there.
Howie's been great at that, too. He's not shy about making changes.
For sure.
Didn't they just fire their offensive coordinator?
They did. and and it's sirianni's good buddy and sirianni will be next if he doesn't win next year and i i kind of like that model better myself but i guess there's different ways to do it limits back to the tape all right yeah i know you said you don't have a timeline but is there a date that you kind of need a head coach by maybe like combine or something like that i mean if you have to put an outside date on it certainly the combine would be uh would be nice to have one before then yes
