Stephen JacksonHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jerome BettisGUEST
So I went and talked to the owner, uh, Dan Rooney, and told him I was retiring after the game, and he wanted me to talk to the head coach.
Jerome BettisGUEST
I said, "No, I'm not talking to Coach because I don't want Coach to do anything different-
Stephen JacksonHOST
Okay.
Landon TengwallGUEST
That was the 70s.
Landon TengwallGUEST
But when the Steelers were really good and when Dan Rooney was still running it and it was like the greatest thing ever in terms of the organization was run.
Landon TengwallGUEST
And now it's a shit show.
Landon TengwallGUEST
Sell the team or give it to, I don't even, I think, is it Dan Rooney II? I don't know who R2's son is, but give it to him because I'm tired of AR2.
Juck MilettiHOST
The Browns fans that deal with the Haslams and the Bengals fans that deal with the Browns that are watching this show are rolling their eyes into the back of their head right now, listening to you say, we want the Roonies to sell the Steelers for

crying out
Josh YoheHOST
And I wasn't a particular fan of his, I don't think it has anything to do with him.
Josh YoheHOST
I don't know if it was when Dan Rooney passed or when, when he stopped having a lot of power in the organization in later years, maybe it was when Dick Lebow left, I think after the 2014 season, just the, the, the class that he brought to the table was second to none.
Josh YoheHOST
I don't know when it happened or where exactly it happened, but I mentioned earlier the Charlie Batch tweet that I wrote back to, and Charlie said, I thought once a Steeler, always a Steeler, talking about the Porter stuff, I guess.
Josh YoheHOST
Listen, if I were Omar Khan, would I have offered Joey Porter Jr. more guaranteed money to stay? Yeah, I would have.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
All the time, dude.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Shula Burg, "What's up, Chris? At what point do you gents think the Steelers would embrace a full rebuild? Would that be when AR2 steps down, or could it possibly see it sooner?" So I want everybody to remove the notion of Art Rooney steps down, Dan Rooney takes over, and all of a sudden the philosophies of the Pittsburgh Steelers change.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
They don't.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
They're exactly the same.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Their entire existence has been draft and develop.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
M- Dan Rooney, before Art, used to say it all the time.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
Kevin Colbert used to say it all the time.
Noah StrackbeinHOST
We've gone away from that.
Alan SaundersHOST
Uh, I think it loses a lot in terms of the specifics of this situation, though, in that, um, you know, Art Rooney was the Steelers president for their last two Super Bowls.
Alan SaundersHOST
I mean, he was- Running a lot of this team during that success, and I mean, certainly by the time, you know, they made that third Super Bowl and lost it, like Dan, Dan Rooney was already the ambassador to Ireland.
Alan SaundersHOST
Like, he wasn't around on a day-to-day basis anymore at that point.
Alan SaundersHOST
Um, so I don't think...
Alan SaundersHOST
Look, Dan Rooney, you could make a very good argument, is the greatest owner in NFL history.
Alan SaundersHOST
From what he did to the Steelers, to take the Steelers from what they were, and also, like Art Rooney, a legendary character, well-loved by all, a-- not a great owner.
Alan SaundersHOST
Like, the Steelers had zero success when he was running things.
Zachary SmithHOST
Mm-hmm
Ed ClementsHOST
test.
Ed ClementsHOST
And John says they're playing the Corn Fairy at the Patriot Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney's course in Tulsa.
Ed ClementsHOST
That along with American Dunes in Michigan is the second.
Ed ClementsHOST
Dan Rooney, of course, raising so much money for that charity.
Ed ClementsHOST
He was in Austin a few weeks ago at UT Golf Club.
Mark BrooksPANELIST
Yeah, I wouldn't cuss on Dan Rooney.
Mark BrooksPANELIST
You better not.
Mark BrooksPANELIST
I would just like to see the stroke average, you know, a little, not 65.
Casey SmithPANELIST
Rodgers.
Casey SmithPANELIST
It's just moving the scapegoat from Mike Tomlin to McCarthy to Aaron Rodgers when we should be looking at Omar Khan and Dan Rooney and figuring out why it is that they're making the decisions that they're making.
Jason ScukanecHOST
And at some point, honestly, they should have just hit a reset button, but they don't want to because they're good every year and it's hard to hit the reset button and admit that you're going to go backwards.
Jason ScukanecHOST
But I, as a fan, it's like when the Blazers were doing this for all those years, I don't want to be the six and seven seed every year.
BrandonPANELIST

Jason ScukanecHOST
And at some point, honestly, they shoulda just r- hit a reset button.
Jason ScukanecHOST
But they don't want to, because they're good every year, and it's hard to hit the reset button and admit that you're gonna go backwards.
Ed ClementsHOST
Jones.
Ed ClementsHOST
How, how close are the Rooneys, are the Rooney family, with negotiations, and does the general manager have, have autonomy? How does that work in Pittsburgh's organization?
Tyler FeldmanGUEST
Well, Omar Khan is the general manager, and I've gotta tell you, since he took over for Kevin Kolber, Kevin Colbert, excuse me, and we've had Kevin Colbert on the Locked On Steelers Squad Show- Kolb was the architect for a lot of the modern era Super Bowls, and Omar Khan was his right-hand man, and so it was a seamless transition.
Tyler FeldmanGUEST
The problem is Dan Rooney is no longer here, sadly.
