Sports media insider: ‘NBC may have moved ahead of Fox’ in Mike Tomlin sweepstakes

With changes abound on "Football Night in America," Tomlin could serve as the show's new centerpiece.

Montag has represented broadcasters like Bob Costas, John Madden, Mike Tirico, Dick Vitale, Jim Nantz, and Scott Van Pelt.

“I don’t even know what that component would be; you would have to help me."

The three-part series will debut Feb. 4.

"Mike T’s done. He’s done. He’s been done."

The lofty expectations TV networks have for Mike Tomlin are going to be very difficult to reach in reality for the former Steelers coach.

"Did you get championships? Did you build disciples?"

"It’s a tough, tough job right now. I’ve often said, I’m not sure why anyone would want to go into coaching, people still are"

"He can't say you replaced me with a young white guy or a pretty blonde girl. He’d have to eat it because you’re replacing him with a black guy.”

"... but I'd be willing to watch it."

"Mike Tomlin can reset... football as a form of entertainment on television in a way that no one has since John Madden."

"Say what you want, it’s something!"

"Only if John takes the Pittsburgh job."

The network hasn't filled Jimmy Johnson's seat on Fox NFL Sunday.

"And if he wants to continue to coach, if he’s let go, there’ll be a lot of suitors knocking on his door for that as well"

Aaron Rodgers made sure to get his shots in at what could be his last postgame press conference after the Steelers' playoff exit.

"There's a lot of steam about Tomlin maybe heading to TV."

"Whether it be in the booth or on one of these wonderful, warm, weather-controlled sets"

"One of them may go in there and say, 'It's been a great run. Might be time to go try something else.'"

"Maybe everybody'll leave you alone and respect you for what you've accomplished in the great city of Pittsburgh."

Rodgers may get his wish, but more complaints are just one loss away...

As Tomlin said about USC rumors in 2021, "Never say never, but never."

"How would you?"

"Doesn't appear to be hard for Joe Flacco."
