Transcription

Chapter 1: Who are the potential candidates for Steelers offensive coordinator?

0.385 - 23.508 Joe

Fan Haul, I'm presented by Sullivan Super Service, providing trusted plumbing and HVAC service for over 50 years. Listen to the Pomp and Joe Show on demand on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. Mike McCarthy will be introduced tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Accra Shore Stadium. Should be very interesting. Bob, are you going to be there? Are you going to throw the mic to him?

0

24.59 - 36.383 Bob

One of us will be there, me or Rich or Cassidy. I'm not sure who at this point, but yeah, somebody will be there. It'll be very interesting to hear from him and his vision for what he has, not just this year, but beyond this year.

0

37.662 - 65.543 Joe

Yeah, man. I'm particularly interested, of course, in the quarterback, but also the coordinators, Bob. The Batconian Mongoose dove into that a little bit today, and I thought had an interesting piece. And there's a lot of names being thrown out there on both sides of the ball. One for the offensive coordinator is Ben McAdoo. No relation to Bob McAdoo. What do you think of that call?

0

66.603 - 80.865 Bob

Uh, I've seen him as a head coach. Not sure. I don't know. I'd want, I want a young up and coming guy, somebody who can be molded into a head coach. You know, if that's the case, there are people out there. I just don't know how many he knows.

80.925 - 83.189 Joe

And you think shield house is still a possibility.

83.249 - 96.965 Bob

I'm hoping that's probably just hope. because he's interviewing for the Browns job. But if he doesn't get it, he may want an upgrade in his position. He spent a lot of time with Sean McVay. The Steelers seem to be very impressed by him. Maybe that's still a possibility.

97.205 - 101.471 Joe

How about Tom Arthur, King Arthur? Arthur was a quarterback coach here.

101.491 - 110.564 Bob

Quarterback's coach, yeah. Really solid guy. Worked with McCarthy in 2006. He's also a legitimate possibility. He could be there on that roster in some capacity. Maybe the same role.

110.584 - 123.576 Joe

How about Scott Tolzien? Yeah. He worked with McCarthy in Dallas, and he's viewed as a pretty sharp, young, 38-year-old offensive mind. Do you like that call, Bob? I don't know enough about him, but yes.

Chapter 2: What makes Luke Getsy a strong candidate for offensive coordinator?

174.949 - 189.793 Joe

There's no doubt about it. How about good old Luke Getzey? As the Mongoose says, this would be a yin-splosion. He is a Steel Valley High School graduate, and he was on the Packers staff with McCarthy for a bit there.

0

190.128 - 194.736 Bob

I know Luke. He won one of my awards back in the day, and I've watched him in his career.

0

195.938 - 206.676 Joe

Yeah, I mean, the connection was there. He's 41. Things didn't go well in Chicago or Vegas for him as a play caller, but that, again, we've talked about this. Look at Clint Kubiak.

0

206.736 - 219.696 Bob

Things didn't go well for him in New Orleans or Denver. You have to have the people. If you have the people, you can do some things. If you don't, then it won't work. But he's a name you'll be hearing a lot about, I'm sure. Whether or not he gets it here, who knows.

220.037 - 229.67 Joe

And honestly, the defensive side to me is more important right now because McCarthy's going to call the plays. He's the Tomlin version of an offensive coordinator. It's his offense. Right.

230.01 - 248.42 Bob

And he said once a long time ago that he would never relinquish those duties again. He wants to call plays. I kind of like that in a head coach, to be honest. I think you watch McVay go after. You watch the guys who are doing it. you know, they're in charge and they're going to take the blame. They're going to get the praise. Whatever the case, he's decided he's going to be that guy.

248.46 - 266.187 Bob

Now, you can have coordinators that do stuff throughout the course of the week, but that's the one thing that will stop Sheilhaus probably from being here. If McCarthy's going to call the plays and he has no opportunity to call plays as an offensive coordinator. And I think if you're going to bring him in, you need to give him that opportunity.

268.276 - 295.694 Joe

Snow, high of 20, Pi Trainer. Is there going to be more snow today? Is that right, Lemon? No, I just put snow because we got a foot. There's snow already here, yes. Cold, for sure. Really cold. A low of Pi Trainer. No, a low of Ben. Seven. Feels like... By trainer. Remember that, Bob? Will Brian Reynolds break the hit record for the Pirates? I remember. Feels like minus two.

295.955 - 320.228 Joe

Fan weather brought to you by Meyers Lager, Pittsburgh's choice for affordable legal solutions. So defensive coordinator, as the Mongoose suggests, this is going to be your baby as a defensive coordinator. This is Andy Reid. This is here, Steve Spagnuolo. I don't even pay attention to defense. You take it. It's yours. That's how it should be. I agree with it.
