Send JD a text message and be heard!19 years at the helm for @steelers #miketomlin stepped down.  @paddy_bailey he had a great run but I guess 19 non losing seasons & #nflplayoffs 6 of last 7 #nfl seasons isn't good enough.  Yes they've lost 7 playoff games in a row and last 5 by double digits but last night they were trailing the @houstontexans 7-6 entering the 4th when the wheels came off.  Tomlin won 10 games this year with a 42 year old @aaronrodgers12 I would say they exceeded expectations.   Who's replacing him?   Be careful what you wish for #steelersnation in your next head coach.  Have had 3 in my lifetime.  Noll, Cowher & Tomlin.  Arthur Smith is not the answer at OC. Start there.  Get a QB.  I like the last pass by Rodgers being a pick 6.  3 of the 4 teams in the #afcnorth will have new coaches in 2026. Just crazy.  @exchipp love the partnership of @fernandomendoza & Curt Cignetti with the @raiders next season.  @companyadjace @rob.p1156 @brianbarnaby & @brandonfurtado2 @shupiratesmbb hosting @uconnmbb @prucenter but on @trutv seriously?  Transfer portal, CFP & sports trivia too.  @nyrangers FIVE wins @thegarden in January no bueño.   All sports.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the continued fallout from the resignation of head coach Mike Tomlin, and specifically what happens to the rest of the team's coaching staff. Arthur Smith has another interview for a head coach position, while most of the rest of the staff is in wait-and-see mode -- and for some who have expired contracts, they should probably already be looking for new work. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The NFL coaching carousel might be headed for history: the guys note the league could be staring at a record number of head coach openings if Pittsburgh joins the party. Then the show pivots into full New York sports pain, with the Rangers getting buried, “Fire Drury” chants, and the Nets openly tanking. After that, it's Steelers fan therapy time. They play viral fan reactions that range from blaming Arthur Smith to blaming the crowd itself, then get into the uncomfortable part: if Pittsburgh moves on from Tomlin, are there even enough legit candidates to replace a guy who never has a losing season? The debate turns into a bigger sports question: when you're sick of the ceiling, is blowing it up worth the risk? The hour finishes with a sharp breakdown of Aaron Rodgers' sideline blowups and why it hits differently when you have not earned years of trust in a locker room. Jets perspective, Steelers perspective, and the brutal truth about disappointment all collide.

JT reacts to Mike Tomlin stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons and explains why this moment felt inevitable but still hurts. JT breaks down the Texans playoff loss, Arthur Smith's disastrous offense, and the exact play call that told him real change was finally coming in Pittsburgh. JT also explains why firing Mike Tomlin doesn't magically fix the Steelers' biggest issue—long-term quarterback instability—and why the franchise may be headed toward a necessary reset. This episode puts Mike Tomlin's legacy into proper context, explains why Steelers fans aren't “ungrateful,” and frames this move as a painful but unavoidable shift in standards. With the AFC North officially turning over a new era, JT lays out why this offseason is about to get chaotic fast.

Live around 5 p.m. Eastern, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the news that Mike Tomlin is stepping down as coach of the Steelers. What changes should GM Omar Khan and owner Art Rooney II consider beyond head coach? Could older stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Aaron Rodgers and other move on this offseason as well? What should they be seeking from coordinators, presuming Teryl Austin and Arthur Smith depart as well? Which candidates does Paul prefer for the job? And are younger players including Joey Porter Jr., Nick Herbig, Yahya Black, Derrick Harmon, Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu the type of players a new regime can build around? Paul tackles those questions and more Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

January 9, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 75 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Houston Texans on Monday night in a home Wild Card game. Alex and I discuss the recent practice squad move made by the Steelers in addition to the team's injury report that was released on Thursday. We also go over the injury situation with the Texans as of Thursday. Steelers OC Arthur Smith will interview with the Tennessee Titans for their open head coaching job, so Alex and I make sure to address that news thoroughly. Is Smith prime head coach material right now? Will he ultimately land a second head coaching job this offseason? We attempt to answer those questions in this show. We also address some potential successors to Smith should he wind out being hired away from the Steelers this offseason. Might Steelers S DeShon Elliott be able to return from his injury should the team advance deeper into the playoffs? We go over the possibility of that happening and the latest Instagram post made by Elliott. How important is Steelers QB Aaron Rosdgers to the team heading into the playoffs and how much of an advantage will he having played the Texans last season as a member of the New York Jets matter come Monday night? We address that question and go over a few things Rodgers said on Thursday to the media. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. There's not a lot to chew on from those two once again this week, but we tackle the most notable comments from both, ahead of the Monday night game against the Texans. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin was on The Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday, so Alex and I go over the key things he had to say during that interview. Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for all of the NFL Wild Card NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag. We, however, won't be picking the Steelers-Texans game until our Monday show. This 111-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted above and we end this episode by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

January 2, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 72 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday night for the AFC North title and a spot in the playoffs. We open this show by going over the latest injury report for the Steelers that was released on Thursday afternoon. We discuss how we'll be watching closely the game-status given on Friday to OLB T.J. Watt, who has been sidelined with a lung issue the last few weeks. We also discuss how important it might be to have G Isaac Seumalo back from his triceps injury on Sunday night. The Ravens have a few players on their Week 18 injury report that we will be monitoring on Friday, so we quickly go over who they are ahead of Friday's practice. We also discuss QB Lamar Jackson deeming himself healthy enough to play on Sunday night against the Steelers. Alex and I move forward in this show by looking at the Steelers' most recent transactions that were made this week. We also discuss the possibility of the team not needing to make any elevations from their practice squad on Saturday. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. There's truly little to chew on from those two once again this week, but we tackle the most notable comments from both ahead of the Sunday night game against the Ravens. We welcome Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner back to the show on Friday, and he helps us preview the Steelers-Ravens game. Shaffer has covered the Ravens for many seasons, and he certainly knows that team inside and out. We get his thoughts on several things related to the Sunday night game in Pittsburgh and his thoughts on the future of Jackson and Ravens HC John Harbaugh moving past the 2025 season. If not already doing so, make sure to follow Jonas on X/Twitter at @jonas_shaffer and make sure to read his work here: https://www.thebanner.com/author/jonas-shaffer/. After finishing with Shaffer, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Ravens game. We break down what we are looking for out of each team on both sides of the football Sunday night. Alex and I go over a few wrinkles we would like to see from the Steelers on offense on Sunday night and that includes the unit possibly having seven offensive linemen on the field at the same time a few times during that contest. We also discuss the possibility of us seeing RB Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell both on the field at the same time a few times against the Ravens. The Steelers defense will have a chore when it comes to stopping Ravens RB Derrick Henry on Sunday night so that topic gets a lot of our attention. We also discuss whether we'll see the Ravens defense play a lot of man-coverage on Sunday night in Pittsburgh against Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, much like they did in Baltimore back in Week 14. Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for all of the Week 18 NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag. We also give our final score predictions for the Steelers-Ravens game.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to look ahead to the team's NFL Week 18 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens that will determine the AFC North race. Will T.J. Watt be available for coach Mike Tomlin's defense with the season on the line? Or will DC Teryl Austin need to rely on Alex Highsmith, Jack Sawyer and Nick Herbig at outside linebacker onces again? And if so, are those guys ready for the challenge of slowing elite Ravens running back Derrick Henry? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks offense. How can OC Arthur Smith and QB Aaron Rodgers get more out of the unit than we saw last week against the Browns? Especially with DK Metcalf and possibly Darnell Washington out of action? Can they compensate with personnel like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller, Pat Freiermuth and others? And get RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell more involved?

Trai Essex joins the show to talk about what he saw during Steelers-Browns, Aaron Rodgers' performance in the game, what blame Arthur Smith deserves for the loss, if the Steelers should be running the ball more, how surprised Trai was by the outcome of the game, how confidence he is going into Sunday night against Baltimore, what Darnell Washington's injury could mean for Pittsburgh, what the future of the Steelers' offensive line looks like, and more!

JT reacts to Pittsburgh Steelers collapsing against the Cleveland Browns and blowing a golden chance to win the AFC North, putting the spotlight squarely on Mike Tomlin and the same tired cycle of underachieving football. JT breaks down how Mike Tomlin once again coached down to the competition, how Arthur Smith's play-calling sabotaged the offense, and how the Pittsburgh Steelers somehow made Shedeur Sanders look unstoppable. JT explains why this loss to the Cleveland Browns is unforgivable, why Mike Tomlin's résumé no longer excuses the results, and why the Pittsburgh Steelers' window is slammed shut without real change. With a looming matchup against Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, JT argues this disaster may define Mike Tomlin's legacy in Pittsburgh.

Aaron Rodgers threw the ball to MVS three times on the final goal to go situation. Kenneth Gainwell was nonexistent in the offense and only touched the ball nine times. Callers are frustrated with Arthur Smith. How can the Steelers stop Derrick Henry?

December 26, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 69 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can.

As usual, Alex and I look at the Steelers' latest injury report and how there's a possibility that several players could miss the Sunday game in Cleveland due to health reasons. The Browns' latest injury report is also covered during this segment. Will and should OLB T.J. Watt, OLB Nick Herbig, WR Calvin Austin III, CB Brandin Echols, and G Issaac Seumalo play on Sunday, and especially if the game against the Browns winds up being meaningless? We discuss that question early in this show. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions.

Will talk to Scott about the season Garrett has had to date. We also discuss the future of Browns HC Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry moving past the 2025 season. Scott also tells us what positions the Browns should focus on when it comes to the early rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Smith's Sayings – What did Arthur Smith say to the media earlier today? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said it doesn't look like Nick Herbig will play Sunday in Detroit, so Jack Sawyer is facing his first NFL start. Ray does take positives out of what the offense has looked like in the last 2 games – sighting the addition of the veteran receivers. Zach Frazier popped up on the injury report today, which would require the offensive line to really shuffle around. Ray doesn't think it's fair to guess about the feelings of TJ Watt based on what JJ Watt says on television about the lung situation. Do we know if Isaac Seumalo will play on Sunday? Ray was confident saying that the dynamic at receiver will stay the same way the rest of the season and hopes it provides a good mentorship for Roman Wilson. Ray can't pick the Steelers to pull the upset, but thinks they can make it a good game. PM Team Professors.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the team running back position, where Kenneth Gainwell seems poised to pass Jalen Warren as the team's starter. Gainwell has had a larger-than-expected share of the carries all season, and that trend continued in a big way on Monday night, when he took off for 80 yards on 13 carries. Warren was dealing with an illness before that game, but it just seems that for whatever reason, Arthur Smith has preferred to use more of Gainwell this season. Alan breaks it down.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the NFL Week 15 Monday Night Football victory against the Miami Dolphins. How much credit do coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith deserve for this team's most complete victory of the season? What adjustments did Smith make to get Aaron Rodgers, Kenneth Gainwell, DK Metcalf, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the offense on track after a shaky first 25 minutes? Why was Tomlin more aggressive in going for fourth downs with the Connor Heyward tush pus? Is Gainwell becoming the offense's most dangerous weapon? And how did Cam Heyward, Alex Highsmith, Patrick Queen, Jalen Ramsey and the defense clamp down on De'Von Achane and the Dolphins running game after struggles the past two weeks against James Cook and the Bills and Derrick Henry and the Ravens? Especially without T.J. Watt? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then later, the guys ponder this team's NFL playoffs chances and the ability of "castoffs" including Valdes-Scantling, Asante Samuel Jr. and Kyle Dugger to give it the boost that it needs come January.

In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the latest concerning Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt, who is currently dealing with a lung issue that could prevent him from playing Monday night against the Miami Dolphins. Alex and I go over the Friday morning report from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network about Watt and how he is allegedly dealing with a tiny hole in one of his lungs. The Steelers released their first injury report of Week 15 on Thursday, so Alex and I make sure to recap it early in this show. We discuss the possibility of T Andrus Peat and DT Derrick Harmon not playing on Monday night against the Dolphins. We also talk a little about the big opportunity that potentially awaits T Dylan Cook should he wind up making his first NFL start on Monday night should Peat wind up being unable to play. The Steelers made several transactions the last two days, so Alex and I make sure to recap those, which includes two offensive linemen being added to the practice squad and Cook being signed to the 53-man roster. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions.

We open this show by going over the latest regarding former Steelers CB Darius Slay, who was waived by the team this past week. We discuss him not reporting to the Buffalo Bills after they claimed him off waivers and whether he will now just go ahead and retire. We make sure to tackle a few things that Slay said about the Steelers and HC Mike Tomlin during his Thursday night podcast interview with Emmanuel Acho. Alex and I move forward in this show by looking at the Steelers' most recent transactions made and the team's Thursday injury report. We talk about the team likely not having backup T Calvin Anderson this week due to a knee injury and how it's looking like rookie CB Donte Kent won't make it back from the Reserve/Injured list this season. We also discuss the Steelers secondary seemingly being dinged up heading into Sunday's road game against the Ravens. The Ravens are dealing with several key injuries this week as well and so Alex and I recap what their Thursday report said and how there are really just three players to watch closely on Friday's report. We discuss Ravens QB Lamar Jackson likely playing through his ankle injury on Sunday. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. We discuss whether the team will finally start playing TE Pat Freiermuth more than TE Jonnu Smith based on what Smith had to say about the two players on Sunday. A few comments made by Austin concerning the team's defense get our attention in this show as well. Steelers S DeShon Elliott and OLB Alex Highsmith are both in the news this week for their off-the-field community activities, so we recap those items. New Steelers WR Adam Thielen talked to the media on Thursday, so we go over a few things that he had to say. We discuss the level of potential impact that Thielen might be able to make on Sunday against the Ravens and which wide receivers might lose some snaps should the newest Steeler indeed be active against the Ravens.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the team's distribution of reps at tight end between Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. Freiermuth is the better blocker and somewhat surprisingly, has been the better receiver this year as well. So why does Arthur Smith insist on playing Smith so much? Alan breaks it down.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo have a practice report from the team's facility ahead of its NFL Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. What should we make of the Steelers coordinators' comments on Thursday? Does Arthur Smith have the correct level of urgency? Have we reached the point of the season when he should focus on getting his best players on the field — i.e., Pat Freiermuth, Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf, etc. — rather than focusing on situational football? What role will Adam Thielen play, and what can they even get out of the 35-year-old wide receiver? Is Teryl Austin's run defense ready? Or should we expect another performance like the one we say Sunday vs. Buffalo or in last season's wild card game against the Ravens? Will they be able to stop Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry? How can defensive backs like Joey Porter Jr. help the run defense? And is Yahya Black up to the challenge? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Smith's Sayings – What did Arthur Smith say to the media earlier today? Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve isn't sure if Steelers fans should be ‘excited' about Adam Thielen, but he can do some things the Steelers haven't gotten all season in terms of simplicity. He thinks Thielen can do things underneath on pass plays that would probably help them. Steve said DK Metcalf has never been a great all-around receiver, so he always needs a complementary piece with him. Steve doesn't understand why Pat Freiermuth has been neglected in this offense. Poni asked if the Arthur Smith offense is broken, but Steve said they aren't alone. Steve thought the Darius Slay signing was a good one when it happened. Steve said Derrick Harmon has been pretty good, just dinged up this season. He thinks it's frustrating to watch a team with 3 good edge rushers not do anything very creative in their blitzes. Steve thinks the Ravens win a close game against the Steelers on Sunday. Donny Football Debrief – We heard some of the highlights of Donny's interview with former Steeler Breiden Fehoko.

November 28, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 56 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Buffalo Bills at home on Sunday afternoon. With the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens both losing on Thanksgiving, Alex and I discuss the importance of the Steelers beating the Bills at home on Sunday. We talk about how a loss to the bills could potentially limit the Steelers' Wild Card spot chances down to one spot, assuming they don't ultimately win the AFC North division. Alex and I move forward in this show by looking at the Steelers' Thursday injury report, and specifically what the current outlook is for QB Aaron Rodgers, CB Joey Porter Jr., and WR Ben Skowronek when it comes to Sunday's game. We discuss the likelihood of OL Andrus Peat being the starting left tackle on Sunday with T Broderick Jones sidelined for this Week 13 contest. The Bills are dealing with several key injuries this week as well and so Alex and I recap what their Thursday report looked like and how it seems Buffalo is likely to be without their two starting tackles on Sunday. We also talk about the Bills recently signing veteran WR Bradin Cooks and the role he might have against the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions.

It's offensive malpractice and down right negligence. Whether it's Arthur Smith, the Steelers QB capabilities or Mike Tomlin's philosophical crutch. The Pittsburgh Steelers are leaving money (Big Plays) on the field by their cautious approach to not attack the middle of the field. Let's talk about their inability to attack intermediate and deep middle and how this makes them offensively predictable and easy to stop.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder and Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the offense's current issues. Is OC Arthur Smith to blame for what's gone wrong during the skid of four losses in the last six games? Or is the execution simply not good enough right now? From QB Aaron Rodgers having a rough outing against the Los Angeles Chargers. To backup Mason Rudolph missing open receivers in the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears? And what are the chances Smith will be on coach Mike Tomlin's staff next season? Our duo tackles those questions, then some of Chris' grades from his film study. Is DK Metcalf's skill set just a bad fit with what the Steelers are trying to do right? Especially in comparison to George Pickens, the guy Metcalf replaced as WR1? Were safeties Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger bad against Caleb Williams and the Bears offense? Or were schematics to blame for their blown coverages? Is the young offensive line led by Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier becoming a strength? And is Yaya Black prepared to fill in for the injured Derrick Harmon this week on the defensive line? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo analyze the team's current losing skid of four losses in six games. Can coach Mike Tomlin turn things around midseason as he has in the past? What lessons can he stars including Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey learn from those turnarounds? And could a midseason firing of a coordinator like Arthur Smith or Teryl Austin be a potential solution like it was with Matt Canada in 2023? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes the remaining schedule and what the Steelers will need to do to make the NFL playoffs. Is at least one win in the next two games against the Bills and Ravens necessary? How can they match up with Josh Allen and Buffalo in NFL Week 13 or Lamar Jackson and Baltimore in NFL Week 14? And are the Browns and Dolphins the only opponents this team may have a clear advantage against? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to Steelers legend James Harrison's scathing criticism of the coaching staff following the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Was Harrison right to call out coach Mike Tomlin, OC Arthur Smith and DC Teryl Austin on his podcast with former Steeler Joe Haden? Is TE Darnell Washington being used correctly? And how much truth is there in his "soft" label for the defensive front that includes names like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton? Paul tackles those questions, plus headlines from coach Mike Tomlin's news conference, which included an injury update on QB Aaron Rodgers. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
