The Steelers are shifting gears, but not in the ways you'd expect. As Pittsburgh gears up for its first-ever draft selection meeting in the heart of the Steel City, whispers of change are flying—yet many signals suggest the team will largely stick to its tried-and-true core. Why is Mike McCarthy's arrival unlikely to overhaul the Steelers' identity? And what does it mean for the future of their star pass rushers like Herbig and Highsmith?

It sets up an interesting and competitive final 8 weeks in both conferences. Farwell and Dan are also wondering where all those NCAA returnees ended up (we were told they were coming back, weren't we?) and at least one of the guys is wishing Hamilton well as hockey returns to the Steel City ... again.

If you live along the I(ce)-20 corridor from Dallas eastward through northern Louisiana into central Mississippi, you are fortunate to have electricity today (Monday, January 26). Some locations received a few inches of sleet and snow for the kids to play in.  Unfortunately, it was a layer of freezing rain which added another 1/2” or more of ice onto trees and power lines across the region on Saturday and Sunday. Several of the region’s electricity providers have power outage maps which are redder than Santa’s suit. Hundreds of thousands remain without power today.  Temperatures across the region are not expected to budge above freezing until Tuesday afternoon. Let’s try to warm things up today with a review of several interesting sports stories from this weekend which you may have missed. AFC Championship Game – New England Patriots 10, Denver Broncos 7 If you like snow, the second half of Sunday’s AFC title game in Denver was definitely the game for you! A 1 PM local kickoff started under sunny skies in the Mile High City.  Denver (playing without injured starting quarterback Bo Nix due to a broken ankle suffered one week ago) thrilled its orange-clad fans during the first quarter.  Back-up quarterback Jared “Stiddy” Stidham sparked the home team with a couple of timely completions in taking a 7-0 opening quarter lead. Who would have believed that seven points was all that Denver would score on Sunday afternoon? The resilient New England Patriots tied the game at 7-7 heading into halftime after “Stiddy” fumbled the football deep in Denver territory late in the second quarter.  New England quarterback Drake “Look ma…I can run!” Maye scampered in for a game-tying touchdown. Earlier snow flurries quickly turned into a Colorado snowstorm during the second half of this game. New England took advantage of the wind in the third quarter and booted a short field goal to grab a 10-7 lead going into the deciding fourth quarter. Denver’s defense provided its offense with several scoring opportunities. Alas, the Broncos failed to convert excellent field position into any points.  Former New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz missed two field goal attempts.  “Stiddy” became unsteady with his second half passing game.  He also didn’t show much of an inclination to run the football when the opportunity presented itself. Denver finished a woeful 181 yards of total offense in the AFC title game.  New England wasn’t much better with just 206 total yards – mostly on the ground. NFC Championship Game – Seattle Seahawks 31, Los Angeles Rams 27 Seattle came into the NFC title game with one of the league’s best defenses and the home field advantage.  The visiting Los Angeles Rams rolled into Seattle after having won two difficult road playoff games by three points each at Carolina and Chicago. The Seattle Seahawks offense took center stage in this high scoring back-and-forth title game Sunday evening.  Surprising quarterback Sam Darnold (who is playing for his fifth team in eight NFL seasons) sparked the Seahawks by completing 25 of 36 pass attempts for 346 yards and three touchdowns.   More importantly, Darnold did not throw an interception or lose a fumble during Sunday’s game against the Rams. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford looked sharp (as always) in keeping his team within striking distance.  He also passed for more than 300 yards with three touchdowns. The game’s outcome was unfortunately determined by a fumbled punt return by Rams’ special team player Xavier Smith early in the third quarter. Smith had dropped an earlier punt but quickly fell onto the ball.  On his second punt return attempt, Smith fell backwards while trying to secure the ball and fumbled deep in Rams’ territory.  The Patriots recovered and quickly took advantage.  One play later, Sam Darnold connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to give Seattle a 24-13 lead which they would never surrender. The NFC #1 seed Seattle will now face the AFC’s #2 seed New England Patriots in the NFL title game in two weeks on Sunday, February 8 at 5:30PM CST and televised by NBC.  This year’s game will be played in Santa Clara, California on the home field of the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh Steelers just hired…who? Former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was fired one year ago by team owner Jerry Jones. McCarthy posted three winning seasons out of his five years in Dallas.  However, his Cowboys’ teams went a woeful 1-3 in the NFL playoffs despite posting three consecutive 12-5 regular seasons from 2021-2023. Ironically, Pittsburgh Steelers’ longtime coach Mike Tomlin resigned two weeks ago after his team failed to win a playoff game for a record-tying seventh consecutive time. Saturday afternoon brought a surprising announcement that the Steelers had hired 62-year old Mike McCarthy to become the team’s fourth head coach since the year 1969.  Each of the previous three Steelers’ coaches (Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin) have taken Pittsburgh to one or more Super Bowl victories over the past 56 seasons. Before coming to Dallas, Mike McCarthy’s 13-year tenure in Green Bay (2006-2018) produced one Super Bowl champion at the conclusion of the 2010 season. Those Green Bay Packers were led by young quarterback Aaron Rodgers as they took a 31-25 win over Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers. A now-42 year old Aaron Rodgers became the Steelers’ quarterback last fall.  He piloted the Black and Gold to a 10-7 regular season and AFC North title.  However, the Steelers (and Aaron Rodgers in particular) were manhandled by the Houston Texans in an ugly 30-6 home playoff loss two weeks ago. Coach Mike Tomlin resigned the following day after 19 years in Steel City. Terrible Towel waving fans (like me) are now wondering what Steelers’ team owner Art Rooney II saw in Mike McCarthy to warrant giving him the head coaching job. Pittsburgh’s woeful offense struggled under coach Mike Tomlin.  Mike McCarthy’s success has come on the offensive side of the football, but his teams’ defenses in Dallas had been less than stellar. Can Mike McCarthy inject life into the Steelers’ offense while maintaining a top level defense? Dallas Cowboys fans are having a good laugh about the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers hiring their ex-coach.  Should Mike McCarthy succeed with the Steelers, Cowboys fans will have confirmation that the coach’s failure in Dallas was likely another case of meddling by team owner/general manager/face-of-the-franchise Jerry Jones. Speaking of meddling, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney filed tampering charges vs. Ole Miss over a recent NIL transfer LSU’s new football coach Lane Kiffin has been jetting around the country signing NCAA transfer portal players by the dozens.  In South Carolina, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney has been roundly criticized for the past few years for his well-known reluctance to participate in the NCAA Transfer Portal/NIL transfer sweepstakes game. The Clemson Tigers recently dipped into the transfer portal to lure University of California standout linebacker Luke Ferrelli with a nice NIL offer.  Ferrelli arrived at Clemson in mid-January.  He signed a revenue-sharing contract with Clemson and was already attending classes and football team meetings last week.   Until last Thursday, that is. Ole Miss apparently waved significantly more money (a reported $1 million per year for two seasons) under the nose of Luke Ferrelli during the final days of the latest NCAA transfer portal period.  It was enough to convince the young man to leave Clemson immediately and report to Oxford to play for the Ole Miss Rebels beginning this fall. Clemson is understandably fuming about this situation.  Coach Dabo Swinney and Clemson’s legal staff plan to file tampering charges against Ole Miss. Last Friday afternoon, Coach Swinney said, “It’s not about a linebacker at Clemson.  I don’t want anyone on our team that doesn’t want to be here.  It’s about the next kid and about the message being sent if this blatant tampering is allowed to happen without any consequences.” He added, “This is like having an affair on your honeymoon!” It appears that Clemson’s Dabo Swinney doesn’t want to annul the transfer linebacker’s hasty shotgun marriage to Ole Miss last week. Coach Swinney (like most college football fans) urgently wants the NCAA to enact some common sense rules to govern the Transfer Portal and then enforce them with stiff penalties for the offending parties. Good luck with that one, coach!  The NCAA that once struck fear into college athletics programs for wrongdoing seems to have vanished over the past decade. You can only hope to be as successful as Mayberry’s Gomer Pyle when he made a citizen’s arrest of Deputy Barney Fife!   The post Icy Monday Sports Update appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this episode of DeHuff Uncensored, the NFL carousel goes completely off the rails. DeHuff breaks down the shocking move of John Harbaugh landing with the New York Giants on a massive five-year, $100 million deal, and why pairing him with Dart and Skattebo could finally mean big things for Big Blue. Meanwhile, Mike Tomlin steps down in Pittsburgh after 19 seasons, leaving the Steelers searching for just their fourth head coach since 1969. DeHuff explains this might be the end of an era in the Steel City. The episode also delivers a full Divisional Round playoff preview, including Rams at Bears, Texans at Patriots, 49ers at Seahawks, and Bills at Broncos. DeHuff digs into whether revenge is on the menu for Denver as they host Buffalo, with insight from Josh Allen, Bo Nix, and Sean Payton—who DeHuff suspects may be quietly stealing his ideas. To top it off, Von Miller weighs in with his prediction for the Bills–Broncos matchup, setting the stage for a weekend packed with drama, grudges, and postseason chaos.

Tuesday’s surprising news came out of Steel City in western Pennsylvania.  Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s hard to believe that the 53-year old Tomlin had been the top man in Pittsburgh for 19 seasons. There have been only three Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches since the National Football League merged with the American Football League 55 years ago in 1970. Steelers head coach Chuck Noll started his head coaching career in Pittsburgh in 1969 by going 1-13.  His second season brought a 5-9 mark in 1970 and then just 6-8 in 1971. In today’s NFL, most other NFL teams would have fired future Hall-of-Fame Coach Chuck Noll after three years on “Black Monday” last week. You must win NOW, because fans and social media are all about instant gratification today. The Steelers transformed from an NFL laughing stock to 6-time Super Bowl champions Coach Chuck Noll’s fourth year 1972 Steelers (led by Louisiana Tech quarterback Terry Bradshaw and a host of impressive young draft picks) turned Pittsburgh into a winner by going 11-3.  The talented young Steelers lost in the AFC championship game that year to the last NFL team to complete an unbeaten season – the 1972 Miami Dolphins. From that point, the 1970’s “Super Steelers” went on to win four Super Bowl titles in just six seasons. The NFL franchise in Pittsburgh had never captured a single NFL title since the team began in 1933.  Coach Chuck Noll’s teams transformed the image of the Pittsburgh Steelers from lovable losers to a tough band of black-and-gold monsters on the football field. Noll put in 23 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach before handing the baton to Bill Cowher in 1992. Coach Cowher’s Steelers added the team’s fifth Super Bowl title (“One for the thumb”) in 2005.  The very intense Bill Cowher retired after the 2006 season after 15 years of NFL success in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin took the reins in Pittsburgh in 2007 The 34-year old former defensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings immediately bonded with his new team and its very boisterous loyal fans. Like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin’s college and NFL coaching experience had been on the defensive side of the football. Did you know that Mike Tomlin (the college football player) was a 2nd team All-Conference wide receiver at the College of William & Mary in Virginia?  He became a defensive backs coach upon entering the coaching profession. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers quickly added Pittsburgh’s sixth Super Bowl trophy in 2008. This endeared the team’s new coach to millions of Terrible Towel waving Steelers fans around the world. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers reached the big game once again in 2010 but lost 31-25 to (ironically) Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Ironically, the now 42-year old Aaron Rodgers signed to play quarterback for Coach Tomlin’s Steelers this past season. Rodgers led Pittsburgh to a 10-7 regular season record.  The Steelers were embarrassed 30-6 – at home – by the Houston Texans on Monday night in the wild-card round. Less than one day after Monday night’s ugly loss to Houston, Coach Mike Tomlin elected to voluntarily step down as the Steelers’ head coach Tuesday afternoon.  He finished with 193 regular season wins. That tied him with former Steelers coaching legend Chuck Noll for 9th place in NFL history. The pressure of winning in Pittsburgh takes a toll on its head coaches The Steelers’ six Super Bowl titles place significant pressure on the current head coach to add another piece of hardware into the team’s trophy case. Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh squads never finished below .500 in any of his 19 seasons. His Steelers won the AFC North eight times including this season’s 10-7 team. Coach Tomlin’s Steelers teams were defensively talented but inconsistent on offense.  Tomlin’s offensive units have further declined after the 2021 retirement of likely Hall-of-Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.  One by one, offensive coordinators have struggled and been sent packing from Pittsburgh several times during Mike Tomlin’s 19 years at the helm. Monday night’s 30-6 loss – at home – in the opening round again highlighted Mike Tomlin’s difficulty at winning playoff games.  This week’s defeat was the Steelers’ seventh straight in the NFL playoffs. The loss tied Coach Tomlin with former Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis for the most consecutive playoff defeats in NFL history. Ouch. The pressure to win a post-season game seems to have been the final breaking point for Pittsburgh Coach Mike Tomlin.  He looked ready to take a lengthy sabbatical from his coaching responsibilities.  Coach Tomlin is considered a likely candidate to work for one of the television networks as a studio host or analyst in the broadcast booth next season. Former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton “retired” from the team in 2022 but took a job working as a studio host for FOX Sports that fall.  Payton then returned to the sidelines the following year in 2023 to become the Denver Broncos head coach. It’s likely that Mike Tomlin will patrol the football sidelines as either a head coach or defensive coordinator for another team at some point in the future. In the meantime, here’s hoping that Coach Tomlin will enjoy a very well deserved break. Jump ball!  Who wants to be the new Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? Let’s examine the positives first. Job security – There have been just three coaches in the past 55 seasons.  The Steelers ownership (the Rooney family) is the most patient in all of professional sports.  Getting a job as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is, perhaps, the safest job in the NFL. Fan support – Is anything better than seeing 65,000 gold-colored Terrible Towels being waved in support of your team at every home game? Yes, there is! It’s when you see 20,000 or more Terrible Towels being waved by fans at your opponent’s stadium on road games!  Only the Dallas Cowboys may have as many loyal football fans as the Steelers. A livable, lovable city – Pittsburgh is one of America’s top major metropolitan areas in terms of the cost of living and safety.  The Steel City (much like New Orleans) has a very unique local population which fervently follows their beloved NFL franchise for 365 days per year. And now…a few of the negatives. Expectations are sky high – every year!  Mike Tomlin appeared to be one of the most even-tempered head coaches in NFL history.  Pittsburgh is the city which was home to Mister Rogers (the PBS children’s TV star – not the quarterback).  Football fans and media in Pittsburgh reminded Coach Tomlin (daily) that he had lost six consecutive post-season games leading up to Monday night’s playoff game versus Houston. The Steelers have six Super Bowl trophies in their display case.  The next head coach will feel immediate pressure to win playoff games again – quickly. Can the new head coach turn around the Steelers’ pop gun offense?  Aaron Rodgers was a “band-aid” type of quarterback for the Steelers this season.  The 42-year old legend could not and should not be attempting to scramble or run from freight train-sized NFL defensive linemen anymore.  Steelers rookie quarterback Will Howard never left the bench during his first pro season.  Pittsburgh’s major investment in wide receiver D.K. Metcalf appears to be shaky after Year #1 with the team.  The Steelers need more speedy receivers who can reliably catch the football under pressure. Does the new coach look the part in Pittsburgh?  Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll had “the look” of someone intense enough and tough enough to command this rugged city’s pro football team. Projecting a personal toughness and strength will (initially) capture the hearts of Steeler Nation. Who does SwampSwami see as the next Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? A. Curt Cignetti Win or lose this coming Monday night vs. the University of Miami, Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti checks all of the boxes needed to turn the Pittsburgh Steelers into a top contender again. Did I say that the 64-year old college football coach is a Pittsburgh native?  Curt Cignetti signed a 7-year contract extension with the Hoosiers this fall.  Can the Steelers afford to pay for the buyout for his Indiana contract? Yes. Would they consider paying a sizable buyout in order to get Cignetti to Pittsburgh? Unlikely.  The Steelers’ ownership is notoriously thrifty.  B. Houston Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans Ryans is only 41 years of age (a year younger than this year’s Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers). The former All-Pro NFL linebacker has won ten or more games in each of his first three seasons as head coach of the Houston Texans.  Pittsburgh would need to provide significant compensation (draft picks and a lot of cash) to Houston in order to lure DeMeco Ryans to come coach in Steel City. Why would Ryans prefer Pittsburgh over Houston?  Have you ever lived in Houston during its six months of summer? C. One of these four relatively young NFL defensive coordinators Some names being floated today include Minnesota Vikings D-coordinator Mike Flores. He was formerly the head coach for the Miami Dolphins.  Flores’ exit from Miami became a bit messy, though.   My list of other top candidates includes Seattle Seahawks defensive guru Allen Durde, Green Bay’s Jeff Hafley, and Jesse Minter from the Los Angeles Chargers. There you have it!    SwampSwami’s list of his six top candidates for the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job! One name that I intentionally omitted was Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman.  He has been quoted recently saying he had no interest in a pro football head coaching position. Then again, don’t coaches ALWAYS say something like that – right before they leave?

We're down to two episodes left on the year, and the show voted as the #2 Pearl Jam show of the year comes to you from their first night in Pittsburgh. It had been 12 years since they last appeared in the Steel City, and the anticipation for these shows was high due to it being the final stops. What we didn't know then is that there would be more of a finality to these shows than we would've wanted as these will go down as the final shows of Matt Cameron's 27 year tenure with the band. As Ed would say at this show, it was about to be the end of an era, but we all thought that it was just the Dark Matter era that was coming to a close... While we'll get into hints of Cameron's departure in this episode, the talking points center more around storytelling. We've invite Jeremy Rasmussen onto the show to talk about his travels on this tour through the lens of his taco truck called Taco Jam! Taco Jam became a massive hit as Jeremy drove around from venue to venue with the idea in mind to cook delicious tacos for all of the fans hanging out in merch lines, GA or at pre-parties. He'll share stories of mishaps on the road and how he got engrained into our community meeting dozens of wonderful new friends, including us. We'll also invite another guest on as Noa Shaindlinger will join us to discuss her moment when she requested Grievance thanks to Ed selecting her at this show. We'll talk about the Hand Trilogy, Bruce Springsteen and Binaural's 25th anniversary in the penultimate episode of the year!
