North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the team's NFL playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens and news that coach Mike Tomlin is expected to return in 2025, per a report by the PG's Gerry Dulac.

What is owner Art Rooney II thinking in keeping Tomlin despite eight years without a playoff win and six consecutive postseason defeats? Is he looking to father Dan Rooney's example of keeping Bill Cowher as coach despite three straight years of missing the playoffs during his tenure?

Then later, the discuss other possible moves beyond Tomlin. Could DC Teryl Austin be in trouble after his unit studded with stars including T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Joey Porter Jr. and Patrick Queen struggled late in the year? What about offensive line coach Pat Meyer, who saw limited results from young linemen including Broderick Jones? Or defensive line coach Karl Dunbar, who failed to build depth behind Heyward with names including Keeanu Benton and Larry Ogunjobi?
