My Guest: Clark Lea is the head football coach at Vanderbilt University. He spent 14 years as an assistant coach, including three as defensive coordinator at Notre Dame, before returning to his alma mater in 2021 to inherit a program that had gone winless the year before. He's now the back-to-back SEC Coach of the Year and the architect of one of the great turnarounds in college football history. We recorded this conversation live at our 2026 Learning Leader Growth Summit in Nashville, surrounded by members of the Learning Leader Circle. Key Learnings Clark inherited a Vanderbilt program that went winless the year before. He says he probably screwed up 50% of his first year. The game is how quickly you can pivot. Losing is a powerful teacher. It cleanses and purifies you in ways you don't want but need. You can blame other people, sink into self-pity, or ask: "What am I meant to be learning right now?" Fast-forward 15 years. Look at this moment from a future place of breakthrough. What did you do now that allowed change to occur? "What do I wanna be proud of in the attempt?" Letting go of expected outcomes is what allows you to refine and simplify the way you see the world. Enter the building unguarded. The clearer you are about who you are and what you want, the more obvious it becomes who fits and who doesn't. Different ball, same problems. Clark spends time learning from the Milwaukee Brewers, the Baltimore Ravens, and others. Different industry, same human challenges. Sometimes the different ball is the gift, because you walk in without preconceptions. Knowledge is limiting. Questions illuminate. Once you know something, you stop pursuing it. The questions you ask are the first constraints you put on knowledge. Get past the touchy-feely. Ask: "Tell me what's screwed up here." Problems are always there. Your job is to be willing to look for them. Check the cabinets. Living in a 700-square-foot LA apartment with his wife, Clark would open the cabinets and find them swarming with roaches. The building was fumigated. Two months later, they were back. You can move the pots out and stop checking, or you can keep opening the cabinets. Leaders keep opening the cabinets. Tell people what TO do, not what NOT to do. Rick Neuheisel's lesson. Stop coaching against the bad thing. Manifest what you want to have happen. Hire bunker guys, not logo people. Logos are easy to change. Hire people who'll fight for you in the bunker when it's hard. The Michigan Reset. Before his first game as Notre Dame defensive coordinator, Clark told the team's mental performance coach: "We're gonna be down 50 to nothing at halftime. BK's gonna fire me on the spot. Jerome Bettis and Rocket Ismail will be screaming at me in the tunnel." She asked, "Why don't you trust your players? You think this is all about you?" Have more captains. Clark sits in a room each summer with around 25 players he identifies as leaders. If the people at the leadership table are good, the locker room will be good. The team votes. He draws the line wherever the vote naturally falls. When you try to go opposite of what you're trying to avoid, you eventually become it. Clark spent his first years at Vanderbilt rejecting the program's past. Going opposite. Then he realized it was just attaching his identity to the very thing he was trying to escape. Now he plots toward the vision instead. What got you here won't keep you here. As Clark has grown, the program has grown. Once he understood that, he could sit with a player and listen first, instead of looking to them for affirmation. The mission is winning. Clark scrapped a beautiful, eloquent, unclear mission statement and replaced it with three words. Now every dollar spent, every coach hired, and every player retained is measured against the same lens. Well-better-learned. Vanderbilt's after-action review for every game and every process. What did we do well? What do we need to do better? What did we learn? On Alabama week, Clark's team had the best practice he's ever been a part of. His job each week isn't to tell the team the challenges. It's to give them the plan to win. At halftime against the number one team in the country, he kneeled the team down and said, "It's on a platter for you. Go take it." They beat Alabama. Stewarding 17-to-22-year-olds means helping them decouple their worth from outcomes. Clark cries in front of his team. His kids are around. His wife is there. His dad is at every practice. The players see a man. A human. A son. "An asshole in a Nike Tech Fit is still an asshole." In the NIL era, Clark fights to keep the locker room from splitting into a million-dollar club, a $500K club, a $30K club, and a $0 club. What you drive doesn't make a man. NIL value doesn't make a man. The grounding is the work. Reflection Questions What are you holding too tightly right now? Whose job are you doing because you don't trust them to do it themselves? Which cabinet have you stopped checking because you're tired of finding the same problem? Fast-forward 15 years. Looking back at this moment from a place of breakthrough, what are you meant to be learning right now that you've been avoiding?

Never has a player fit so perfectly with the identity of his team and the city he represented as Jerome Bettis. His smash-mouth style and gregarious personality made him one of the city's favorites. He was also beloved by his teammates—so much so that it became a rallying cry during their Super Bowl run. The Bus's final stop was Super Bowl XL, which ended in storybook fashion, with him winning the Lombardi Trophy and riding off into the sunset.Get our Steelers-Ravens book here!

The latest on TJ Watt. It sounds like he will NOT play Monday, according to the biggest insider in football. In fact, Adam Schefter made it sound like it would be a borderline miracle for the Steelers to get their star edge rusher on the field. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray is having a hard time thinking TJ Watt will be able to play Monday night, but it won't be because he doesn't want to. Ray isn't ready to rule Watt out yet with a few days to go before the game. What caused this to happen? Ray didn't want to speculate, but he brought up a similar situation with Jerome Bettis before a playoff game in 2001. If Watt can't go, Ray said the Dolphins have a truly threatening run game. Does Ray think they can backfill there? Ray believes there is a real chance Roman Wilson does not play again this season. Ray went through some of the other injuries on the report from this afternoon and who they could be getting back, like Derrick Harmon. Ray thinks the Steelers win. Total Request Thursday.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Dan Hesse talks with Jerome Bettis (also known as “The Bus”), who is a Hall of Fame running back and Walter Peyton NFL Man of the Year. Jerome describes how he “broke the cycle” of shunning rookies in the locker room and instead focused on encouraging and mentoring them. He also talks about how the generosity of one pro football player he met as a kid drove him to develop the habit of giving a “hand up” to those in need; a habit that he knows he will continue for the rest of his life. “The Bus” is also the title of Jerome's bestselling autobiography, which tells the story of Bettis' rise from a Detroit ghetto to an illustrious collegiate and professional football career. A six-time Pro Bowl selection and one of the league's all-time leading rushers, Jerome retired in 2006 after helping the Steelers win the Super Bowl, and in 2022, at age 50, Bettis received a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame, fulfilling a promise he made to his mother when he left college for the NFL draft a year before graduation!

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. Did Cowboys star Micah Parsons disrespect the Steelers' T.J. Watt by leaving him out of his top pass rushers list for a second-straight season in a Super Bowl week podcast appearance? Is Watt really less valuable that Parsons or the Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett because he plays on position? Or is Parson's downplaying Watt's production unfairly? Paul tackles those questions and other football topics. Should the Steelers trade up for a QB in the NFL draft, as Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis has suggested? Or should they stick with either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields? And is Chiefs receiver DeAndre Hopkins a fit for Arthur Smith's offense?
2/5/25 - Hour 3 Rich enlists a New Orleans native to rank the top food in the Big Easy including red beans and rice, gumbo, charbroiled oysters, etouffee, crawfish, and beignets. Browns DE Myles Garrett tells Rich why he's asked for a trade out of Cleveland and what advice he got from LeBron James about his decision, who wins the Chiefs vs Eagles Super Bowl, and more. Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis tells Rich what it means to an NFL player to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, what the keys are to an Eagles win over the Chiefs, his son playing for his alma mater Notre Dame, and more.

"The name on my back was always my moral compass." Jerome Bettis Here comes the Bus! Yes Pivot Family, we have an epic episode as Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit with NFL legend and Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis, known in the football world as “The Bus.” Bettis shares stories from his humble beginnings to strong family bonds to renowned football career to his life journey making it from the streets of Detroit to the fame walls of Canton and inspiring moments along the way. Very few organizations have the identity the Pittsburgh Steelers have and Jerome Bettis is very clear on how that football organization shaped not just his play on the field but his way of life in how he approached every aspect of life. He recounts how Pittsburgh's blue-collar mentality resonated with him, how the locker room shared in a special camaraderie with players embracing the culture that created the team's collective drive for greatness. Starting the conversation off with a little fun reflecting on the old rivalry between Bettis and Freddy T back in the days where Fred would have some of his best games vs the Pittsburgh Steelers which transitions the guys into talking the current state of the NFL, specifically the diminishing value of running backs and how today's offenses have shifted away from the power running game Backs like them thrived in. Bettis calls out how Philadelphia being in the Super Bowl is no surprise since the team acquired Saquon who in Bettis' mind, is the ideal Franchise running back along with Derrick Henry, who both proved a strong ground game is a must for a team's longevity. Speaking of Super Bowl, Bettis recounts the pivotal moment that shaped his decision to delay retirement: a conversation with his late teammate Clark Haggans about playing the big game in Bettis' hometown of Detroit and how he couldn't miss that run. His decision led to a full circle moment capping his career with a storybook ending winning a Super Bowl title with his Pittsburgh Steelers. The discussion dives into Bettis' early life in inner-city Detroit, where football wasn't initially on his radar. He candidly shares how his high school coach helped steer him away from the streets, convincing him that he had the talent to play in the NFL. Bettis credits this intervention as his pivotal moment, leading him to Notre Dame, where legendary coach Lou Holtz recruited him and paved the way for a new opportunity. He opens up on moments of humility, including a funny story about winning Rookie of the Year but still being required to take out the trash at his parents' house as well as insights into his father's advice to always protect the family name and the pride he felt seeing fans wear his jersey...a constant reminder to uphold a standard of excellence. A journey filled with so many highs and powerful moments, Bettis never shys away from the lessons learned along the way, although he jokes he didn't think his own teammate Ryan would bring up the hardest one to talk about. Emotion masked with laughter, Bettis reflects on how his career could have ended so much differently after fumbling the opportunity of his life-long dream in the AFC Championship game vs the Indianapolis Colts. He takes Ryan, Channing and Fred through the rollercoaster of emotions in that few second span and how humility turned to hope and how his life was forever changed for the better and his legacy cemented in history books. With humor, wisdom, and candid storytelling, this episode highlights the many sides of Jerome Bettis—from the relentless competitor to the devoted family man. You don't need to be a Steelers fan to appreciate this powerful story filled with inspiration, lessons, prayer, perseverance, humility, and the pursuit of greatness.

Originally aired July 2023. RotoViz co-owner and co-host Dave Caban (RotoViz Fantasy Football Show) travels to the turn of the century when Boston sports was in a very different place. Tom Brady went down, Drew Bledsoe went in, and Troy Brown got creative. Charlie Weis was getting receivers matched up against the Steelers star edge rusher. Bill Belichick makes a shrewd bet on Ty Law and Otis Smith. Pittsburgh's defense does keep them in it long enough for Kordell Stewart and Co. (and Amos Zereoue!) to put together an amazingly swift rally setting up a real white-knuckle fourth quarter.
