This episode kicks off with the hosts tackling the latest uncharacteristic move in the NFL coaching carousel: the Steelers' hiring of Mike McCarthy. Given Pittsburgh's history of picking young, up-and-coming head coaches like Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll—all hired in their mid-30s—the crew is baffled by the choice of the 62-year-old McCarthy. The conversation then shifts to the perplexing situation in Buffalo, where the Bills' head coaching job seems to be strangely unappealing. Philip Rivers was interviewed and then withdrew his name after Mike McDaniels canceled his interview. The hosts can't figure out why a job with a generational quarterback like Josh Allen would be such a hard sell. The main event this week is the incredible run of the "Eustacoods," champions of the first-ever Washington Nationals Fantasy Camp. The guys relive the entire experience, including an intense, competitive championship game where the team had to rally from a 7-5 deficit in the sixth inning to beat the previously undefeated Lawn Chair Legends. They break down the high level of play, the use of Field of Dreams whiskey and champagne, and the clutch moments, including a game-ending play at first base against one of the camp's best players, and the highly debated "beautiful bunt" laid down by Cousin Justin against a former Major League pitcher.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise gives his thoughts on the attractiveness of the Steelers' coaching job following the departure of Mike Tomlin. Will owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan have an easy time attracting top candidates because of the loyalty they the organization has shown to Tomlin, Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll over the years? Or will the restlessness of the fan base -- even on a successful coach like Tomlin -- dissuade some candidates from pursuing the opening? And what kind of impact will the roster have on interest levels? Do stars like T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, DK Metcalf and Jaylen Warren make this team one someone can win quickly with? Or does it need more younger standouts like Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon, Nick Herbig, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu? Paul tackles those questions and more.

Tim Benz thinks the Steelers need to find the right coach, not someone that fits their type as a defensive coordinator like Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin. Ryan Fitzpatrick questioned what type of Brian Flores NFL teams could be getting because his philosophy changed during his tenure and "became unrecognizable."
Ray Fittipaldo thinks the new coach will have a say on if Cam Heyward comes back and gives it just a 50/50 chance. Ray thinks it's a real thing with Mike Tomlin gone. Cam Heyward was a Second-Team All-Pro. Tomlin is not going to say goodbye and hold a presser with the Steelers. That is sad to veer away from that tradition that was set by Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll.
Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Ray Fittipaldo wonders how much the fire Tomlin chants, booing Renegade, and the lack of playoff wins wore on Tomlin. There are no goodbye sendoffs like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher to say goodbye. Ray thinks there's a 50% chance that Cam Heyward retires. Tomlin told the team it was a football decision, but Art said it was a family decision for Tomlin.
We dive into the Giants' head coaching search with Kevin Stefanski reportedly leading the clubhouse and Gio weighing the merits of John Harbaugh versus Mike McCarthy. We react to the Cowboys firing defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and the Raiders moving on from Pete Carroll, while Jerry brings us the latest on Joe Schoen's future as GM. Plus, we hear Joe Benigno's rant on Aaron Glenn, James Dolan's trade talk on The Carton Show, and a special Public Service Announcement from Cam Skattebo for our Moment of the Day. Finally, we discuss Mike Tomlin's historic milestone passing Chuck Noll and Gio's fascination with a "miserable" livestream out of Gambell, Alaska.
In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if QB Aaron Rodgers is playing well enough to get the Steelers through the season and potentially through to a deep playoff run. Also, how do you feel that Tomlin is about to break this Chuck Noll record? December 16, 2025, 9:00 Hour
Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder how Steeler fans might feel about current head coach Mike Tomlin breaking this record held by former, highly-esteemed head coach Chuck Noll.
When Archie Griffin won his unprecedented 2nd Heisman Trophy Award in 1975 he was heralded as the best running back in the nation. But was he? Finishing 2nd in the voting was a beast out west by the name of Chuck Muncie and the senior Golden Bear was putting up huge numbers in Berkeley. In fact, in 17 fewer rushing attempts than Griffin, Chuck had 103 more yards rushing and 9 more TD's. Add in the 26 more receptions and 234 more yards receiving than the Buckeyes Back and you could make a strong case that Muncie, the guy on the cover of the 11/24/75 issue of Sports Illustrated, should have come home with the Heisman hardware. At the next level, Muncie continued to excel becoming a 3-time Pro Bowl back in the NFL with his best season coming in 1981 when he had over 1,500 yards from scrimmage and 19 touchdowns in the high-powered offense in San Diego. The Chargers were loaded with offensive weapons: Muncie and James Brooks in the backfield with John Jefferson, Charlie Joiner, Wes Chandler and Kellen Winslow catching everything in sight. Muncie passed away in May of 2013 but the man who ran that “Air Coryell” offense Dan Fouts joins us on the POP podcast to talk about how good a back and what a weapon Muncie was while playing with the Chargers. Fouts discusses the famous playoff shootout in Miami, known as the Kellen Winslow game. A game in which the Hall of Fame QB threw for 433 yards, and 3 touchdowns in the 41-38 San Diego overtime victory over Miami. Fouts recalls how the next week he and his team suffered through frigid temps in Cincinnati and how the lingering effects of frost bite have been in his hands ever since. And he talks about being part of possibly the best Hall of Fame class (1993) of all-time: Larry Little, Bill Walsh, Chuck Noll, Walter Payton and Dan Fouts! One of the greatest QB's to ever sling it in the NFL looks back on his Hall of Fame career and gives an in depth look at SI caveman and his former teammate Chuck Muncie on the Past Our Prime podcast.

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 concept of a wham block, and how Arthur Smith and company might use that against the Cleveland Browns and Myles Garrett. Wham is a play that stems from the trap family of offensive plays, something that Chuck Noll's teams used a lot in the 1970s and 1980s. Could Smith and company break it out this week to help deal with a devastating Cleveland run defense? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
They were the defending champs… and they were just getting started. After a draft in 1974 that would eventually produce 5 Hall of Famers… names like Lambert, Swann, Stallworth, Shell and Webster… the Steelers were ready to repeat as champions… and while the 2nd year players began to come into their own in '75, the team was led by Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who 5 years after being the #1 overall pick out of Louisiana Tech, was finally ready to claim the role as QB1 without having to look over his shoulder. And on the defensive side of things… the Steel Curtain was ready to wreak havoc on the opposing quarterbacks throughout the NFL. LC Greenwood, Ernie Holmes, Dwight White and the man on the cover of the September 22, 1975 issue of Sports Illustrated, Mean Joe Greene were laying the foundation for a Steelers dynasty… 4 Super Bowl wins in 6 years! The NFL's first two-time Defensive Player of the Year winner, Joe Greene was everything you wanted in a leader… tough, driven, disciplined, and in this case, yes, a little mean. His years in Pittsburgh would end with a gold jacket in Canton and a legacy that is second to none in the Steel City, or anywhere for that matter. Alex Kozora is someone who appreciates Mean Joe and the Steelers and has been covering the team for over a decade as one of the hosts on The Terrible Podcast, a Steelers podcast for Pittsburgh Steelers fans where he and Dave Bryan discuss the goings on of one of the most successful franchises in the NFL. But that wasn't always the case. Prior to Chuck Noll's and Mean Joe's arrival in 1969, the Steelers had been to one playoff game in their 37 years in the NFL. But in 1972, that all changed… David Orochena is a writer for www.steelersdepot.com and contributor to The Terrible Podcast and he tells us that the “Immaculate Reception” was much more than just the Steelers winning their first ever playoff game. It was a defining moment for the sports structure of Pittsburgh. A week after Franco Harris caught the ball out of midair off a deflection, Roberto Clemente was tragically killed in a plane crash helping bring aid to an earthquake-ravaged Nicaragua. The death of a man who symbolized Pittsburgh and the Pirates completely devastated the city and according to Orochena, it was the Steelers that helped fill that void going forward. It's much more than just the X's & O's of professional football. It's a chat with two guys who know the ins and outs of a franchise that were the laughing stock of the NFL for decades… and turned it around in the mid 70's to become the envy of every organization in the league. Alex and David tell us about how Terry Bradshaw finally won the QB job for good in '75, how the Terrible Towel came to be and inspired a couple of guys years later to start a Terrible Podcast… and how one play changed the course of the Steelers franchise and how the Steel Curtain came to symbolize a team on it's way glory. They dominated and kicked tail and didn't care who got in their way… Was it nice? No… it was mean… Mean Joe Greene and the 1975 Steelers on the Past Our Prime podcast… Listen to both Past Our Prime and The Terrible Podcast wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a review and a 5-star rating if you desire.

Also, was Bill Cowher correct in saying that Rodgers needs "the keys" to Pittsburgh's offense in order to be successful this season? And are the T.J. Watt trade rumors viable, or will Omar Khan, Mike Tomlin and company finally get a record-setting deal done before training camp?

It's almost time for the NFL draft once again, ladies and gentlemen, and we should all know by now we have no idea how selections and signings will pan out. In 1974, the Pittsburgh Steelers may had been on the rise, and Chuck Noll, his staff of coaches and scouts were no different from those of today. They didn't always agree on who to pick, especially when when you have selected players, as Noll put it, that were supposedly too small, slow, and skinny. Learn more about your ad choices.

Changes were needed. In 1969, the Steelers replaced Head Coach Bill Austin with Chuck Noll, an assistant coach with the Chargers and Colts from 1960 through 1968.The Steelers made some good draft selections in 1969. Offensively, they chose quarterback Terry Hanratty and tackle John Kolb.

On the weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, host Adam Bittner welcomes Ed Bouchette, former Steelers insider for the Post-Gazette and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, to react to the team's 2024 season and where it goes from here. Is Mike Tomlin closer to a messy exit like Chuck Noll? Or a Super Bowl-winning revival like Bill Cowher? How would Dan Rooney have handled the team's current playoff wins drought differently than son Art Rooney II as owner, if at all? And is Tomlin's long tenure more about loyalty? Or belief in doing business the way ownership would like to? Ed tackles those questions, then weighs in on roster issues. Why does he prefer Justin Fields over Russell Wilson or outside options at quarterback? What are his feelings about WR George Pickens and whether GM Omar Khan should explore trading him this offseason? Is it time to break up the defensive core of Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick? And why does Ed like Joey Porter Jr. and Keeanu Benton as young players who can grow into bigger roles? Then our duo wraps the show with some Hall of Fame talk with a focus on Hines Ward and James Harrison.
Today's guest is Jim Rooney, grandson of The Chief and son of Dan Rooney.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1974 Super Bowl season. But one story from that year is getting overshadowed during the celebrations of the birth of the dynasty. That year, Joe Gilliam became the first black quarterback in the Super Bowl era to be named QB1 to start a season. He led the Steelers to a 4-1-1 record before Chuck Noll replaced him with Terry Bradshaw. Documentary filmmaker Dexter Rogers joins us to talk about the racial dynamics that surrounded that decision and how Gilliam's benching fueled his depression and addiction that would derail his career. We'll also talk about the Mike Tomlin apology tour that's been in effect since the Steelers victory over the New York Jets.

"Bleav in Steelers" host Mark Bergin discusses the Pittsburgh Steelers giving head coach Mike Tomlin a contract extension. Tomlin, 52, is now under contract through the 2027 season. He is entering his 18th season with the Steelers and has yet to have a losing season. Bergin explains how Tomlin has been among the NFL's best head coaches despite the Steelers' last playoff win in January 2017. Bergin compares Tomlin to Steelers legend Chuck Noll and to former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Bergin also wonders whether the Steelers will end their five-game playoff losing streak and whether this is the last contract extension Tomlin signs with the Steelers.

He played for the Steelers from 1966-1970 with one of those years catching balls from Terry Bradshaw. He was coached by the legendary Chuck Noll.

"Bleav in Steelers" hosts Ike Taylor and Mark Bergin discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' struggling offense as the team faces the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mason Rudolph is expected to start for the Steelers if Kenny Pickett can't play due to an ankle injury. Rudolph will replace Mitch Trubisky. The Steelers are on a three-game losing streak and will need help to make the playoffs. The Steelers have failed to score at least 19 points in the past five games. It's the longest such streak since they went six games in a row in 1969 without scoring at least 19 points. That was Chuck Noll's first season. Ike and Mark discuss how both Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) and Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) will miss Saturday's game. The NFL also suspended Steelers safety Damontae Kazee without pay for the remainder of the 2023 season. Kazee will appeal his suspension. Last, the guys discuss George Pickens' lack of effort in two plays against the Indianapolis Colts: One play was when he didn't block his man on a Jaylen Warren run. The other was when Trubisky threw an interception and he didn't chase after the defender. Ike explains why he thinks Pickens needs to emerge as a leader in the Steelers locker room.
