So put him off Cowher's tree. I don't know why he can't be considered from both, but whatever.

Do many coaches have "deeply" rooted trees? Or branched or whatever?
Technically half the league has job right now because of like one Mike Shanahan staff while he lost a ton of games with Washington. If not that, they all breathed the same air as Sean McVay. Throw in some failed Billy B pale imitations and that is the league right now. I'm serious.
Where are all these coaches with big leafy canopies producing bunches of head coaches? Certainly not many defensive minded coaches...

I expect to see more of this with Tomlin within the next 6 to 12 months, unless he turns it around next year
Noll coming off a 5-11 season -8 years removed from his last Super Bowl, 20 years as HC
Tomlin. coming off a let’s say similar record, 12 years removed from his last Super Bowl appearance, 15 years in the league as HC
Matt Canada would certainly qualify, although that branch is not looking too good right now

Apparently it’s all Paul Brown’s tree! Hah!
Other coaches get credit for their “tree” under all sorts of circumstances. By the way, Cowher’s tree wasn’t all that impressive either.
Summation: they both suck!
P.s. who was in Noll’s tree? Does he suck too?

Tomlin needs to follow the Lord’s instructions:
“He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit.” John 15:2
I cant give Pagano credit , Pagano got ill he was installed as an interim based on illness and shocked the world with results ..I mean he has what 3 games with Pagano ?( didnt look it up just guessing based on old man memory )

this I will agree with
This is important to have a tree for a head coach even if they are poor head coach....You can be a great assistant coach and a poor head coach at the same time so this is better to have a tree that have no one
Not that I'm advocating for Tomlin to go just yet, but what about someone like Sean Payton? I feel like Pickett/Pickens/Harris/Mooooth would flourish in his system.

The Steelers' coaching tree...

I don't think Mike Tomlin is a stupid person. He fooled the Steelers organization into hiring him then got credit for leading the 2008 team for winning a Superbowl. Tomlin uses complex sounding word and catchy phrases and people assume he's a football genius. Tomlin has benefited greatly from the Steelers organization and the minds at the top. Any other NFL franchise would have fired Mike Tomlin years ago, its going to be 6 years since the Steelers won a playoff game and at this rate it may be 2-3 more until they have to talent to get back to the playoffs. How long is long enough for the Rooneys, that's the ultimate deciding factor. Fire Tomlin, clean house and start over.
Tomlin has a .631 win percentage over the last 15 years. If he has been fooling the Steelers over that entire time it would have to be the best long game con of all time. OR just the most idiotic thing that has been posted on here in a long while.
What I posted is fact not opinion. Tomlin is one of the winningest HCs in the history of the NFL. Not just Superbowl era either, in the history of the NFL. AND he’s built that over 15 seasons. If you think he is a bad coach, THAT is opinion. My statement is fact.
Andy Reid is another HC on the winningest coaches list. The Eagles let him go and he continued winning in KC. Just because coaches and franchises part ways does not mean he’s a bad coach. If the Steelers did decide to move on from HC Tomlin, he’s still a good coach and will have success again.
Ok.
Sure. He had nothing to do with those guys producing when they were here. They magically just kept it together all on their own.
Nothing to do with unheralded guys become cornerstones. AV just became a top LT on his own. Ramon Foster would’ve just flourished anywhere.
It is mainly because of the lack of playoff success in the last 12 years that many are frustrated(3-7 in the playoffs since 2011 with loss vs Tebow,Jaguars and Browns,the 2 worst team in the last decade).And besides, in this case, I'm talking about the steelers in general seem to think what they're doing are great even if changes need to be made for both side of the ball since the product is way below the standard at this point.....Maybe a losing season will wake the steelers up!
Also,for Tomlin,he needs to have a much better assistant in his staff since at this point, we have to be honest that it's very poor
