Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The discussion began around food and what Mark would eat every day for the rest of his life. He decided on pizza, agreeing with Donny. This all stemmed from Sidney Crosby saying he would eat pasta every day.

Kaboom said from 2004-2010, ‘you couldn't find a bigger jerk,' but he does believe Ben changed as he matured. Mark shared a story that involved Jason Bay, who won Rookie of the Year in baseball the same year as Ben in football. Did Porter throw more shade at James Harrison than he did at Big Ben?

Mark Kaboly is reporting that the Steelers are hiring Vikings tight end coach Brian Angelichio as their next offensive coordinator.

Mark doesn't think Scott Tolzien's experience matched what they were looking for. The Steelers are hiring Brian Angelichio as their new OC. Mark thinks there's a plan and reason behind McCarthy's hiring and was told by someone that Tomlin "just hired people." McCarthy has more of a defined role for his coaches.

Aaron Rodgers is the Steelers' plan, unless Rodgers decides to retire. Mark Kaboly thinks there's only a low-percentage chance that Rodgers doesn't come back. Mark doesn't want Malik Willis to be the Steelers quarterback and thinks the sample size is way too small.

Mark doesn't think that McCarthy got hired only because he is from Pittsburgh. Senior Bowl, pizza, and Poni proposes a chicken wing eating contest between the two.

There is WAY too much hype with Will Howard. Bill Belichick didn't make the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year. Joe thinks it is an embarrassment for the NFL. Belichick didn't receive at least 40 of 50 votes to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Mark now thinks the Steelers did need a new voice and thinks McCarthy can provide that.

Mark thinks that McCarthy won over a lot of people on Tuesday. Mark said you can feel the passion from McCarthy and how much the job means to him. Joe doesn't think this has been an impressive coaching cycle. Mark thinks the Steelers are intrigued by Will Howard but not as optimistic as some are saying. Mark thinks that Rodgers WILL BE BACK.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi had a breakdown on Patrick Graham, who is expected to be hired as the Steelers next defensive coordinator. The guys asked Aditi about the hiring of Mike McCarthy and what the staff and team could look like next season. She thinks McCarthy's main goal is to figure out the quarterback. Are the Steelers going to run it back with Aaron Rodgers? She was surprised by how high everyone was on Will Howard in the press conference. She thought it was a little odd that the entire staff got told to go home after Mike Tomlin stepped down before the decision was even made on a new coach. Aditi would have loved Jim Schwartz getting a call from the Steelers and thinks it's an ‘insult' to assume Schwartz, who is known to run a 4-3 defense, can't adapt to a 3-4. Aditi predicted that Howard will be the Steelers QB in Week 1 next season. Donny Football Debrief – Pitt football is adjusting their capacity for home games next season.

Mark Kaboly joins the show! Mark says that if the Steelers don't hire a head coach until next week and the Rams win, we know the next Steelers coach is going to be a Rams guy. Kaboly says "not yet" if the Steelers are interested in Sean McDermott as a dark horse. Mark and Chris talk about local establishments representing their youth sports clubs. One of my baseball teams growing up was sponsored by a tavern that went out of business half way through the year, so we represented a defunct business. Mark answers how much Art Rooney II will be leaning on other people to help him make the decision. The Joe Hendry theme song will always irritate Mullsy and we love that. A discussion of old school WWF action figures takes place that unlocks memories I forgot I had. Who will still be on the roster next year for the Steelers?

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Art Rooney II said Mike stepped down for family reasons, but Mike told the team he wants it to be better for them to win. Tomlin was basically saying he couldn't get it done for the team. Mark Kaboly didn't see signs of burnout. The Steelers are going to interview Nate Scheelhaase, Chris Shula, and Jeff Hafley in the next two days. Steelers need to hire the RIGHT coach not just one that fits their build as a defensive coordinator.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The conversation started with Mark's days at Cal U, aka, Harvard on the Mon. Kaboom said he went to a lot of bowling alley bars back in the day. Mark has moved on to the coaching search and how Art Rooney and Omar Khan will handle this. Mark expects Khan to have ‘a lot of say' in the process. Mark feels like it will be a coach from the same cloth that Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin were cut from – mid-30's, first-time head coach and *possibly* defensive minded. Mark believes Art's son, Danny Rooney, will have input in the choice. Mark said right now Chris Shula feels like the favorite to be the next guy, just based on their history and the list of coaches they will interview. Mark said if they go with the defensive mind, that guy better have a young, offensive mind with him or have a really convincing plan to change the offense. Where does Nate Scheelhaase rank on Mark's list? Mark got into the challenges of commanding a room and being the ‘leader of men' it takes to be a head coach. Mark said Brian Flores was an intimidating figure and that players were ‘afraid' of him. More w/ Mark – There will, reportedly, be 3-4 more names added to the Steelers list of interviews. Mark feels like the initial 8 names are their main targets, but that's not to say the new ones can't surprise. Mark said Mike McCarthy is too old and hasn't coached in a minute, which makes him feel like they should stay away. If there isn't interest in Curt Cignetti, what about Norwin and Pitt product Mike Shanahan? Kaboom thinks Kevin Stefanski would be a ‘great' fit here because it's not Cleveland. Does Brian Flores have more options than Pittsburgh to be a head coach? What would be the pros and cons of a tank? More w/ Mark – Mark reacted to the stories of how the players reacted when Mike Tomlin told them he was stepping down. Kaboom is skeptical just how good Tomlin will be on television and if he's even all that interested. Mark isn't all that sure if he coaches again, but said the right situation would always do the job. Kaboly said Mike seemed like the same guy to him and wasn't ‘worn out' like a lot of people are saying. What could the staff look like under a new head coach? Kaboom thinks the entire QB room is up in the air, outside of Will Howard, who will serve as a backup at-best. Does Mark have any interest in Malik Willis? Mark felt like Cam Heyward may have hinted at retirement during the season, but his level of play would say otherwise. Is it time to trade TJ Watt? The guys asked Mark if he had any thoughts on the James Harrison disdain for Tomlin. Who was the big-name player that wasn't upset over the Tomlin news? Mark doesn't think it will be that much longer before the Steelers hire their guy.
