Deep Posts: The Steelers hate Todd Graham, too!
By Doug Farrar

If you thought former Pitt coach Todd Graham was a jackass for bailing for Arizona State in a way that would make Bobby Petrino wince, wait until you see what the Steelers thought of him.

Should Graham ever decide to come back to Heinz Field to watch a game, he'll have to buy a ticket … and he may want to hire a bodyguard. According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, things really got out of hand with a guy who couldn't carry water for a coach of Mike Tomlin's pedigree.

The Steelers practically threw a party when they heard that Pitt coach Todd Graham quit. That goes from the top to the bottom, from those who work in the offices to the coaches and every-day workers who came into contact with Graham and his staff in the building.

They described Graham as an arrogant man who had no use for anything the Steelers might have offered, and they say he resented having to share the building and the indoor practice field at the UPMC complex with them.

Before Graham, the Panthers and the Steelers ate in the same cafeteria, although at different times. Graham came in and put an end to that. The cooks at the cafeteria still prepare the food for the Panthers, but it is then brought over to the other side of the building, where Pitt created its own cafeteria to serve Graham's players and his wishes.

Instead of embracing the advantages that an association with the Steelers might bring, Graham rejected them, even if there was little he could do about the shared facilities.

Perhaps the Steelers have already warned current Arizona Cardinals head coach and former Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt just what he's in for with this jerk in the same state. [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]

Where should I post the "Lions also hate Rich Rod" thread? Apparently several of the Lions staff was upset over Rod's lack of family values and felt it embarrassed the entire state. Also, former players from Salem, Glenville State, Alabama and West Virginia all joined in a "we hate Rich Rod" sit-in on the Michigan campus.

I get the threads posted on ASFN on RSS,so when I see the post it doesn't say where it was posted on.Saw it was about Coach Graham and thought it was on the ASU forum.

Gotta agree with previous opinions.. the fact that the Steelers hate him makes any Cardinal/ASU fan like him that much more...

Not a big deal that the Pittsburg Steelers don't care for him
