Steelers options at OC, Grading Khan, Weidl, and Tomlin

The Fan Morning Show - A podcast by Audacy - Fridays

Hour 1 with Dorin Dickerson and Jeff Hathhorn: Championship Sunday in the NFL. Who is going to the Super Bowl? Dorin asks how close the Steelers are to the final four teams. Jeff thinks it's a leap. Going from the 7th seed to being in position to get a higher seed, and win the division, is a tall task and Kenny Pickett needs to be great. Dorin is optimistic because of how the Detroit Lions win. Dorin also asks, don't you have to think about Kirk Cousins if you want to win? Jeff thinks the Steelers need to know about Kenny Pickett, even if they aren't in it and go 6-11. The Steelers seemingly are being pushed down the line for offensive coordinator options. Is Tampa a better OC job than the Steelers? We discuss the options for the Steelers moving forward at quarterback. Austin argues if Mason Rudolph (or Pickett for that matter), becomes Geno Smith, it's not enough with an AFC loaded with great quarterbacks.  If the Steelers trade up and/or draft a quarterback to push Kenny Pickett, it more so says the Steelers are looking to move in a new direction. Things could have been different if they didn't win their last three games. Jeff is adamant the Steelers must give Pickett the chance to prove he's the guy with a new coordinator and full year. We grade the job Omar Khan, Andy Weidl, and Mike Tomlin did this past year. Weidl and Khan received higher grades than Tomlin, who progressively got worse with a C+ average as we went around the room.
