Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

So it was a tight, tight competition, right?

Tight competition, tough decision for Mike Tomlin.

But yesterday, he made it official.

It is now potato time in Pittsburgh.

Potata time.

It's officially Renegade Russet time for the Steelers.

Hey Pittsburgh, let's cheese.

A Seattle.

Hey Pittsburgh, let's corn.

Runco's country, let's ride.

Steelers country, let's spud.

I mean seriously though.

You imagine what a disaster that would have been to Russ it, for Russ it, if you lost that job to Justin Fields.

Had that happened, that right there might have been,-bye gold jacket I mean see that is the thing

about this season for us right it really is a massive legacy season as in it's his last chance to save what's left of his

legacy maybe even his last chance to save that bust in Canton as well maybe I mean it's still possible that he winds up in a gold jacket.

But let's not forget there was never any doubt a few years back. It was a lock.

Now I'm not so sure it's a lock, but he could still end up with that gold jacket if he can pull off holding down the steeler job.

It's also possible that failure in Pittsburgh can completely wreck what's left of his reputation and his case for the

hall and his career.

What's left of it?
