Jeff Hathhorn and Pat Bostick in studio, Tomlin presser reaction, QB questions

The Fan Morning Show - A podcast by Audacy - Fridays

Hour 1 with Dorin Dickerson: Jeff Hathorn and Pat Bostick are in studio for the full show. Jeff was at Mike Tomlin's press conference and asked some great questions. Reporters wondered if Tomlin would be sincere and with transparency, and a lot of people think that's the case. Tomlin was emotional during his opening statement. Any doubt in Jeff's mind that Tomlin might have thought about he future too much and maybe he wouldn't be back when answering questions in Buffalo? He might have had those internal thoughts that could have been the reason he was emotional. Tomlin needs to realize he needs to change the way he approaches structure and discipline. Art Rooney confirmed that Mike Tomlin will be back and given a contract extension. When will Tomlin be extended? It's probable his contract will be for two additional seasons. Free agents that want to play for Tomlin want to know as well. A press release confirming a two-year extension is probably coming soon. It would confirm why Tomlin was happy and cheerful to start his press conference, but Tomlin seems on notice things could change if he continues to struggle in the playoffs.  The ultimate goal is to win a championship, every year. Tomlin said they fell short of winning a world championship a few times. Tomlin felt very intent on saying it and his message after T.J. Watt said he wants to win a PLAYOFF GAME. The Steelers need to bolster the offensive line and get more consistent quarterback play. Coaching changes in the NFL. Kyle Shanahan has a system that travels and a culture that works. DeMeco Ryans brought the culture to Houston. Pat wants to bring in a voice from the 49ers.
