What was for you the good and the bad for Tomlin in 2022?
No playoffs because Tomlin decided to install a loser at quarterback and then stubbornly stick with him even when anyone could see it was failing.Quote:

Tomlin costing us an entire wasted season was the low point of the season. This one's completely on him.
Bad - Tomlin sticks with an inept offense for three years. Sticks with a struggling veteran QB for too long.
Good - 2-6 in first half, 7-2 in last half. He does get the most out of players…just doesn’t always give them the best opportunity to succeed…
12 years = 3 playoff wins. Not good enough for any franchise except the Pittsburgh Steelers
As I said back in october, Tomlin's streak stays intact:
Thus guaranteeing Tomlin staying in here. In fact, I'm pretty sure, it would take at least three losing seasons in a row for Tomlin to be fired.Quote:

Tomlin might not be a Top5 coach (although some might make that case), but we probably won't get a Top5 coach if we fire him, and it should be noted that even Bill Belicheat didn't do too well since Brady left, and in fact hasn't won a playoff game the last 4 years neither. It would be more likely than not that we would enter into a phase of changing head coaches regularly (like the Browns usually do).
Especially I would stress that the result this year was pretty good, despite being dragged down by Matt Canada, playing with a rookie QB, and TJ Watt missing 7 games (going 1-6 in these, the games with TJ Watt we went 8-2). TJ Watt is that big a difference maker, opposing offenses do have to plan specifically to counter him (which often still is not enough), which opens up other players like Highsmith if they double team Watt.
If Tomlin is to be blamed it's for not winning more Playoff games/Super Bowls with Ben, especially during the Ben/Brown/Bell seasons.

That graph has the Packers in it. Should be the Seahawks.
This is a good article about the career of Tomlin....It was great in the first 5 seasons, the killer B's were disappointing for many reasons, but in the last 4 years, they were far from being a very talented team, especially on offense

This tweet was last week,but this is more about the tweet about the fourth down.What are your thoughts on that...Should the Steelers be more aggressive in this situation?Quote:

Anybody want to see a Miami vs Seattle Superbowl? :puke:
Here all along I had no idea how great I've had it, and now I know exactly what I would say if anyone ever asked me what I wanted in any HC for the Steelers, which would be:
"Consistent mediocrity (so the fanbase can't complain too loudly), combined with occasional playoff hopelessness."
‘I’m Not Sure Why He Didn’t Challenge It’: Big Ben Questions Tomlin On Najee Harris’ Shoulda-Been TD Call
https://steelersdepot.com/2023/01/im...medium=twitter
One of the flaws with Tomlin and always has been. His decisions to challenge and not to challenge have always been suspect. I’m not sure why they just don’t have a guy who watches the replays and just says “challenge” or “no”. That’s all he needs to say all game…once he’s out of challenges, the guy resumes his normal job. It’s really not that difficult.Quote:

The reason Tomlin didn't challenge the Najee TD is because Najee gets up and immediately signals with his hands that he was a foot short. I'm giving Tomlin a pass on that one due to Najee's brain fart.
I can't defend Tomlin to bring back Canada again...9 or 10 wins is now the standard for the steelers....The steelers are just happy with 20 PPG(the average in the finals 9 games)
It was as predictable as it is disappointing.
Tomlin does not really buy into scheme/plan beating scheme/plan. He very much believes that is a combination of individual and collective execution that equals victory. His comments over the years are very consistent. He wholeheartedly believes that you can out-execute the opposing team and win every week.
He's right more than half the time.Quote:
