The Pomp And Joe Show

Should the Steelers pick up the 5th year option on Broderick Jones. Is gambling creating doubt about the NFL legitimacy? Our picks for the CFB Championship.

Would John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski have wanted to be the Bills coach if they hadn't already committed? There's so much inconsistency in NFL officiating? Revisiting the Pens woes in OT and the shootout?

Pens talk - they are so bad in the shootout but way ahead of the expectations still. A call about Indiana/Miami. Some names for potential Steelers OC. Bob is still trying to figure out what a catch is.

The NFL playoff games were great this weekend. Multiple callers want Will Howard as the next starting QB. Could Sean McVay retire if the Rams win the SB?

Indiana is a big favorite tonight. The pressure is on to finish the job. Mendoza has delivered time and time again. Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers is ridiculous but expected. Suarez is still a guy the Pirates should sign. A caller wants Shula as the leading candidate.

A caller wants Shula, Sheelhaase, and Raheem Morris all together on the Steelers staff. How important is getting an offensive-minded coach? Are QBs coming out of college more NFL ready now? Do the Steelers need to beef up the DL before anything else?

A caller brings up Will Howard, wondering if he can be a fit for the next regime. CJ Stroud was bad yesterday and probably should've been replaced. Is Howard that much different than Mendoza? The catch rule has been confusing for a long time now.

Sean McDermott is out in Buffalo. Bob is frustrated by discrepancies in pass interference and a catch. Starkey calls in and is distraught about the Bills loss and the confusing calls. Joe doesn't think McDermott should have been fired. Would Tomlin go to Buffalo? Will McDermott become highly sought after now? 16 of the last 25 Super Bowls have been won by "retread" coaches. Why didn't the Steelers interview Kevin Stefanski? Were the Steelers "in contention" this season? Joe says no. Sinking to the bottom paid off for the Pats and Bears. Jim tells a story about being fired.

What a week! It started with hopes for a Super Bowl run and it ends with the Steelers interviewing candidates for their next head coach after Mike Tomlin stepped down.
