“Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger”, Episode 118
He emphasizes the importance of building a strong team foundation before focusing on the quarterback position, and advocating for a young, offensive-minded head coach to lead the team. Ben also highlights the significance of drafting and retaining key players, particularly on the offensive line and in the secondary, while considering the potential impact of free agency on the Steelers’ roster.
The conversation touches on the recent coaching changes in the NFL, including the surprising firing of Sean McDermott, and the implications for the Steelers as they look to rebuild and reestablish their identity in the league.

A message for Coach Tomlin
Coach T, we got to spend 15 years together, and through the ups & downs it was a great ride. Thank you for all you did for me and this team, and this community! You are a legend, and one of the greatest to do it! Here is to the next chapter – whatever that looks like. — Ben.

If you missed Ben on the ManningCast…
“No, honestly getting out of it, I’ve got 3 kids, I’ve got a 13-year old, almost 12-year old, and a 9-year old. and I just love being with them. I love driving them around. I’m an Uber driver, I help pack lunches, I get to see all the sporting events. To me that’s everything right now. So that’s what I love doing….coaching, that’s too much for me. I’d love to get involved at some point down the road maybe within the organization. I love the Steelers organization, 18 years there, but coaching? That’s too tough, I think.” — Ben, when asked by Eli Manning if he would be interested in coaching a team.
