January 13, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 78 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday afternoon emergency episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing Mike Tomlin deciding to step down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers just one day after the team lost to the Houston Texans in Monday night Wild Card playoff game. Alex and I go over the statements that Tomlin and Steelers team president Art Rooney II released on Tuesday. We also discuss Tomlin's remaining year on his contract and how that presumably means the Steelers still retain his rights until at least through the 2026 season. We discuss what Tomlin might do next and whether he will indeed go into television for at least the next year. Will the Steelers now make wholesale changes to their coaching staff with a new incoming head coach? Does Tomlin stepping down on Tuesday mean that QB Aaron Rodgers definitely won't be back in 2026? We address those two questions and several others during this emergency podcast. As you would expect, Alex and I look at several potential candidates the Steelers are likely to consider to be their next head coach. We also discuss if the Steelers head coach position is a desirable one right now. Later in this show, Alex and discuss how Tomlin will be best remembered during his time as the Steelers head coach. We also look ahead at the various ways the Steelers do things might change with a new head coach coming in. This 45-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted above. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
