In a Moses-like manner, Mike Tomlin parted the three rivers. On either side lie the pro- and anti-Tomlin fans. Arriving at a confluence may be the greatest task for Mike McCarthy.

Tomlin’s critics sought and got the long-awaited lifting of the malaise surrounding the team. Or did we? Art Rooney wants to “run it back.”

Seriously? Keep the non-losing season streak intact so Rooney has a shot of getting in the Hall of Fame. It’s his only hope, having been denied twice.

Houston, we got a big problem. It’s Art Rooney. Can his son Dan help?

Tomlin started like a house afire but was never able to rebuild; he won with Bill Cowher’s players and coaches. When they left, so did the big victories. To his credit, he won in the regular season. To his demise, a record seven straight playoff losses in nine years got him booed out of town

Chuck Noll set the standard. We saw it happen. We won’t settle for participation trophies or just backing into the playoffs where 44% of teams make it.

Steeler Nation wants discipline, accountability and character. Remove the stench from the locker room. The so-called team leaders should be cut or traded or retire. Take the culture with you. We can lose without the neverending drama you provide.

Art, Omar, Mike, Artie, Teryl, Aaron, Cam, D.K., Jalen and T.J. earned an F on my 2025 report card.

For the good of the organization, Art, step aside so Danny boy can save the Steelers.
