I'm not saying that he's the 5th best coach in the league necessarily. But for every coach outside of the aforementioned you bring up I can poke as many holes in their resume as you can in Tomln's. Coaching in this league may be at an all time low. I mean in Noll's day you had Landry, Shula, Walsh, Bud Grant, Chuck Knox, John Madden etc...
Anyway I get it. I feel your pain, I've heard the arguments and agree with them to some extent... we're wasting the prime of a great qb's career... "he won withCowher's players"... lose to bad teams etc... But at the end of the day the guy's never had a losing season. Despite losing 40% of his starting o-line for the majority of the season, despite losing his qb for a full month he's probably going to win 10 games this year. ( anyone think Pouncey and Beachum's loss wasn't felt yesterday?) He's not getting fired folks. The players like and respect him. He's got a good coaching staff. It's not going to happen this year, and most likely not next either. So it's a futile thought. You're pissing in the ocean, spitting on a 5 alarm fire. It's foolhardy to even think Tomlin's job could be in jeopardy. In a way this thread reminds me of so many facebook posts predicting the arrest and or impeachment of Obama. You might not like him. There's probably even some rationale cause to doing both. But you're doing nothing but making as ass of yourself if you for a minute think it might actually happen, that your joining on to the cause is going to foment change.
Oh well I guess if it makes you feel better in the moment to advocate for lost causes have fun.
