Tomlin on his way out?

[Jetstream Green]

Tomlin has a better track record than anyone being interviewed right now at the actual job. He has success regardless and won a Super Bowl, beat us in doing so. You damn right I would hire him on the spot if the Steelers let him go and that is not to say the Steelers would be wrong. All coaches wear out their welcome, some sooner than others by the way they coach. Player friendly does work and usually works well till the roster gets complacent. If Tomlin comes here, his character has proven talent will follow him for a few years and he can win

Tomlin inherited and retained many good coordinators and coaches when he was hired. Arians, Goodwin, Zierline, LeBeau, Butler, Horton, Amos Jones..

Not so sure if he can build a winning team other than maintaining one.

Yep, this reminds me of Ray Horton. Too good to let go but was replaced by bowls who did a better job and is now a head coach. Horton is out of the league.

"His next five playoff appearances after the AFC title game championship seven years ago didn't turn out that well".

You freakin kidding me? If that's failure, sign me up. The only worthy knock on him is the diva attitude of his star players.
Those smart mouth ******* need a backhand slap from someone.

NO MORE STEALERS

I don't care where coaches come from. Our last two steeler coaches are the winningest coaches in our franchises history. Not sure why people are so opposed to that.

Tomlin should be taking heat for that loss. I understand why he choose to go with the onside kick. But it was the wrong call. Then he doubled down by taking his time outs after the two minute warning.

On the flip side, eleven seasons without a losing record, eight trips to the post season and a Super Bowl ring. Belichick, Carroll and Tomlin are the only three head coaches who maintain that level of success.

I think this proves the opposite. He has lost some good coaches and yet every year They are fighting for home field. He has had 3 OC and 2 DC with multiple other coaches getting jobs. And yet he is 13-3. Football is hard. Takes 1 bad series now a days to lose a game. In 3 of this weeks playoff games. 1 play different and the losing team would have won all 3 games!!! Just think about that. The NFL champion maybe could have lost in their first game of 1 play went differently. We were a playoff team if 3 plays went differently last year. Tomlin is a good coach that players want to play for. I'd take him over the other choices now. Be crazy not too.

If Tomlin comes available, I'm all over it. I don't think he will be though... I'd still have to get over that Super Bowl ring like I did with BA though...

The same here. It's not like the Cardinals are looking at better options than Tomlin.

I think if Tomlin is available to us, most of our current staff will stay in place with the possible addition of Haley as OC.

Are you sure? I recall there being some bad blood between Arians and Tomlin over the firing situation. I'd imagine that these are "his guys" and would also have a healthy dislike for Tomlin.

Not in all cases, of course, but aren't a lot of our coaches former Colts guys?

Bad blood resulted in Tomlin not being loyal to BA. I don’t believe Tomlin fired BA, but I wouldn’t say he wanted to keep him either. Ben did however.

BA’s offense is a very unhealthy offense for a QB unless the oline is superior. The fans and ownership knew it, kinda like how some here complain we don’t run the ball enough or have a FB or extra protector.

Tomlin was and still is a middle man manager type head coach.

As far as I know only Goodwin followed BA to the Colts.

Well the bus showed up at Pittsburgh facility and Todd Haley got thrown under the wheels. That is Ben's team not Tomlin's. Haley's offense put up 42 points on the "vaunted" Jax defense and Vance McDonald the backup TE caught 10. All year that offense put up pinball game numbers. It was the defense that blew and no changes there. Where is the value in Tomlin?

and then this just came out;

Before that game, Bell showed his commitment to the team by ... showing up super late to both the pregame walkthrough and the game itself. According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Tomlin wants players and coaches to report to the locker room two hours before kickoff for games. That was continually ignored by both players and a coach or two.

Not only did Bell arrive much later than that for the playoff game against Jacksonville (as well as one coach), he missed practically the entire Saturday walk-through the day before, showing up about five minutes before practice ended."

 

[unseenaz]

tomlin isn't a leader, clearly. that locker room always has problem personalities

Bell is an idiot. He wants to get paid, but he's acting like a spoiled child. I wouldn't give a player a huge contract that acts like a malcontent 5 year old.

exactly. saying you want the big bucks then not putting in any of the work doesn't make sense.
