Summary

Live from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis where Steelers GM Omar Khan and Rich discuss Mike Tomlin parting ways with the team after 19 years in Pittsburgh, how he landed on hiring former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, the team’s plan for Aaron Rodgers next season, what he’s looking for at the Combine, and what message he has for die-hard fans in the Steel City. Titans HC Robert Saleh tells Rich what attracted him to the Tennessee job, what he learned from his first head coaching gig with the New York Jets, the expectations for 2nd-year QB Cam Ward under new OC Brian Daboll, and more. Lions GM Brad Holmes tells Rich why he went against the grain by drafting RB Jahmyr Gibbs 12th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, how last season’s key injuries could impact Detroit’s 2026 NFL Draft approach, discusses head coach Dan Campbell’s penchant for going for hit on 4th down, reveals what message he has for critics who say the team’s Super Bowl window is closed, and the moment he knew future Hall of Fame DT Aaron Donald was special.
