An article released by Mike DeFabo from The Athletic painting the picture of the final Mike Tomlin meeting with the team had the guys talking off the bat.

LA Rams YouTuber Jake Ellenbogen joined the show. With 2 Rams coaches being requested for interviews with the Steelers, Jake said Nate Scheelhaase would be better fit to be the next HC over Chris Shula, saying he could be the next Sean McVay. Jake went through the Scheelhaase resume explaining why his mind could be the next big thing in the league. Jake told the guys he was all over the McVay hire in LA when it happened, when a lot of people wanted a veteran coach. Jake told a story about Scheelhaase and why he defends him so much. Jake said the Rams have been able to unlock the 12 & 13 personnel groupings, which makes them capable of playing in any element. Jake defended Shula, who got brought into question for just how good the Rams defense is, but Jake said Shula has done very well with that group. Jake mentioned a couple more coaches on the Rams’ staff that should be head coaches one day, including Mike LaFleur.
