So, the Steelers players loved Mike Tomlin, but hated the coordinators? We revisited the Mike DeFabo piece for this segment. That doesn’t make sense. With the power Tomlin held, he hired his coordinators. How can you praise the person who put the people you hate in place? It’s also telling that Art Rooney said nobody on the current staff would be considered as the next head coach. That indicates they weren’t the owner’s guys.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve mentioned a couple of coaches that he thinks deserve second chances – Kevin Stefanski and Robert Saleh. Steve said when all things are equal he would hire an offensive head coach, but don’t count out the hiring ability of the defensive minds. Steve thinks the way the Packers defense fell off greatly sans Micah Parsons is a reason to stay away from Jeff Hafley in the process. Steve said he doesn’t know enough about Nate Scheelhaase to project what he could be as a head coach. Steve said Brian Flores still intrigues him. Out of the LA DCs, which one does Steve like more? Steve would ‘jump’ at the idea of Matt LaFleur if the Packers didn’t want him anymore.

Donny Football Debrief – Let’s have some good memories. It’s been 9 years since the Steelers last playoff win, but 20 years since an all-time Steelers playoff win.
