Tomlin will said after the game that losing the turnovers battle was the difference in the game.....
Tomlin takes no heat for anything, he's untouchable. The man is absolutely clueless.
Same goat, different season.
Under .500 coming up!!!
It's not just one issue with the team. Its multiple issues that pop up at once. Everyone takes turns being bad. It's not a talent issue. Its a coaching issue.
That's 100% on coaching. Tomlin has failed hard this season.
Just his refusal to fix the offensive coordinator is a monster failure. Canada is the equivalent of Cancer and Tomlin refuses to remove it…Quote:

Pickett has a trash offensive line, Najee isn't playing well and the WR Corp (who are supposed to be stars) cannot run a route to save their lives.
The fact we keep lining up Diontae Johnson as a "deep threat" is peak hilarity.Quote:

But I thought Tomlin was the greatest HC in NFL history? No losing seasons, right? He has put together his own players now so it will be lights out, right?
Exactly. Tomlin has never had a losing season until now. He is a HOF coach. A SB winning coach. Clearly a genius. Besides, who would he be replaced with? Who is better and available hmm? It's crazy how many people in 2022 are now sounding like the haters from 2013.Quote:

and with that said when it does come time to find a replacement for Tomlin it will not be the same person / persons making the selection ... This time around it will be Art II not the Chief or Dan ... we shall see how far the apple falls from the tree
If Tomlin doesn’t make the necessary changes with the coordinators, then he needs to go.
It’s clear to everyone in the world (except the Steelers Brass) that Matt Canada is not an NFL Offensive Coordinator. He’s just not and that’s okay. They made a mistake hiring him but this mistake is now going on three seasons worth of offensive nonsense because of this guy. Players like Harris and Claypool, Pickens and Pickett are wasting young years of their careers and development fucking off with this guy.
Mojouw questioned the murkiness of Pickett…I’ll go further and question the murkiness of Harris, Freiermuth, Claypool, Pickens AND Pickett. We have no idea what these guys really are because Canada is a walking disaster. Precious time is being wasted…time that could set the franchise back 3-5 seasons because Tomlin can’t move on from his hire…

Nothing on the news wire about firing Crapnada, but I guess the day is early yet . . .
damn near lunch time and they start the work day around 6amQuote:

I was surprised that Pickett even came out after the game yesterday and said it is idiotic to keep doing the same thing week after week and expecting a different result. He told everyone right there how he feels about the offense and Canada without actually saying his name.Quote:

Tomlin said a month ago the team would try to improve things, but I have seen no changes yet. All I see on offense are the same dumb playcalls week after week. If they trot this same garbage out the rest of the season with Canada then I would question Tomlin's ability to lead this team going forward.
Question...for the Steelers, who has final say on hires and fires?

so I guess my final answer is early on it was ownership but now it is Tomlin
Ultimately, regardless of what it says on paper or in the agreed about org chart, it is ownership. Owners can do whatever they want whenever they want.
I suspect the GM ultimately is the guy who calls people into the office and gives them the news. Likely in collaboration with Tomlin. I suspect, knowing the Steelers, that hiring and firing decisions are a collaborative process. Everything else is.
So....since we know we don't know, I go to history and hypotheticals. History says that when there's a new GM, there is usually a new HC, QB, etc. Granted Kahn is not 'NEW' in every sense but for the sake of discussion, what if what we are seeing is part of a process? Maybe Kahn has a direction in mind for more than one aspect of team building? Doesn't really match the Steelers' way but new owner(sort of), new GM(sort of), new QB(definitely), new defensive leadership(mostly). What's left?
The steelers way don't work anymore!...Big change in philosophy need to be made
OK. When I say Steelers Way, I mean from the ownership down and the way they have always been people first. Taking care of the people in the building has made this one of, if not the strongest organizations in the NFL. I'm not talking on-the-field at all by that.Quote:
