Graham’s Ghosted Interview & Payback | Jacksonville Jaguars News

Patrick Graham, Steelers’ defensive coordinator, spilled the tea on his bizarre Jaguars head coaching interview in January 2025—where he was ghosted at a steakhouse dinner with owner Shahid Khan and execs, left sitting alone at a table for five. He called it disrespectful, saying he was treated like a checkbox, not a real contender. Ironically, Graham now credits that rejection for his current success with Pittsburgh, where he’s leading the defense. With the Steelers set to face the Jaguars on Monday Night Football in Week 14, Graham’s got a chance to make a statement—and maybe exact some payback on the field. It’s a reminder that even with the Rooney Rule in place, human courtesy often gets lost in the NFL’s cutthroat world.
