Here we go.....again.
hahah no losing seasons ever
Nothing will change.
Every coach needs to get fired
He's not getting fired after going 13-3. As pissed off as we are no owner would fire someone under those circumstances.
Unfortunately you are right. As long as Tomlin keeps meeting the 8 win benchmark, mike brown rooney will continue to pretend like everything is fine. However, these past 6 weeks show how utterly useless Tomlin is as head coach without an effective benQuote:

Yep, meant 12-4, same difference, no head coach is getting fired after going 12-4.Quote:

You mean like getting swept in the first round in 2019 and following it up by getting bounced in the qualifying round 3-1 last year? Whatever...Quote:

Tho to be fair, Dan was replaced with Mike Johnston first, which was bad, but he was fired quickly.
How are they doing NOW, though?Quote:

Horribly outcoached by a team that didn't even have its head coach. I'd love to see the excuses for THIS one.
Tomlin is truly clueless, the end of this season was flat out embarrassing, yet we will be forced to listen to the local talking heads pour on their admiration for Tomlin.Quote:

Let's not forget Bylsma was hired by the Sabres and with less talent the Sabres became a last place team under his watch before quickly firing himQuote:

The team has no confidence to convert short yardage. They're totally finesse, and have been for years.Quote:

Marty Schottenheimer went 14-2 and got fired...Quote:

The window closed 2 years ago to win a Super Bowl, so I dont know why anybody is surprised. Steelers winning 12 games was honestly the biggest surprise of the season and a pleasant surprise at that. Tomlin will be back and should be back, but a lot of whiney little babies that never lived thru 1983 as a Steeler fan will have to throw their fits around here, so just let the tears flow.
15 years ago. Since then, the San Diego/LA Chargers have been through 3 HCs (looking for a 4th now), have gone 116-108 in the regular season and have made a grand total of two postseason appearances in the last ELEVEN years to include zero AFC Championships and zero Super Bowls.Quote:

Marty deserve a lot of the blame! Had a HOF RB and HOF TE and plus a above average young QB at the time. His play calling and time management was beyond awful! Yes I watched then and know sh!t.Quote:
