Tomlin really has to get with the times. Almost anyone watching knows he should've went for it.Quote:

FIRE TOMLIN!!
And what about Tomlin not calling a timeout after we stopped the Eagles' third-down play with less than two minutes to go in the first half? When asked about it after the game, he said something like "I was in the process of getting some information, and that's all I'm going to say about that". :rolleyes:Quote:

Not sure what you're talking about - Tomlin did call a timeout. And the Steelers wound up putting up another 3 points right before the half. Unless the argument is that he didn't call a time out "fast enough" due to the ongoing narrative regarding his "clueless clock management."Quote:

It clearly is. He should've hired a better training staff instead of thinking up new Tomlinisms.Quote:

Got to remember that the some of the loudest critiques are coming from someone who proudly claimed to never watch any non-Steelers games and only very rarely watch the Steelers because of the some combination of the homosexual agenda and the dire threat to the republic that the NFL posed. Still working out the details of why. Makes it kind of hard to know what is going on when you don't watch? Also why post if you are against the entire thing anyways? Wouldn't Mike Tomlin ruining the Steelers be a good thing since they are likely all a communist plot anyways?
Also why was people in quotes? What word is too scary for even those who dare to be bold to type out?
Just asking questions. Trying to do my research.
Some people are only happy when they are unhappy.Quote:

The goal every year is to win a Superbowl and if it's not your goal then you are in the wrong business.

Yeah. The Rooney's seem super influenced by what ESPN has to say.
If that was the case, Lamar Jackson wouldn’t have any MVPs. It’s a regular season award.Quote:

MVP's definitely don't equal championships but I get what you are saying. There is something to be said though why Tomlin has never received coach of the year awards and I do believe playoffs figure into that equation.Quote:

Thank you for proving my point. As you can see from the info you provided, the third down play where Hurts was sacked started with the clock at 2:00. How long do you think that play lasted? Six seconds, maybe eight at the most? Which means the play was over at the latest at 1:52, which means that Tomlin knew at 1:52 that the Steelers were going to get the ball. But as you can see he didn't call a timeout until 1:29. Which means he wasted at least 23 seconds after the play was over before calling a timeout. That's a lot of time to waste for no reason, and the fact that the Steelers now had to hurry more than they should have had to contributed to them getting a field goal there rather than a touchdown.Quote:

And if they did have more time and disaster struck and they turned the ball over and the Eagles got another score with the extra time, you'd be blaming him for that too. :rolleyes:Quote:

Since 1969, Steeler head coaches have received ONE coach of the year award. The AP award is the one that is recognized. Chuck Knox won it 3 times but how many Lombardis does he have? Stefanski winning twice is a joke. Lindy Infantes and Wayne Fontes? Lol.Quote:

That's cool. But they really don't. I think it's more about the preseason expectations from the media. Most of the time, the media sees the Steelers as playoff contenders in the preseason. This is what works against him. And besides, Tomlin is always introduced as "Super Bowl winning coach, Mike Tomlin" whether anyone here likes it or not.Quote:

Nobody is afraid to play us anymore and haven't for years, simply because we have been an easy 1 and done in the playoffs. We need to instill fear in teams like we did 12-15 years ago. We have never regained that "edge" and there needs to be some pretty drastic changes in my eyes. I think a lot of it is scheme or lack there of. Especially on defense, I think we need a stud DC.Quote:

Tomlin hasnt been successful in the postseason since 2016 because his coordinators have been subpar. His last DC worth a damn was Dick LeBeau who left in 2014 and Haley on the offensive side who left in 17. Austin is subpar and I dont know know if Smith is good enough to help get us over the hump and win a playoff game or two. I dont know why we went with Austin over Flores. That to me is the second biggest mistake the Steelers have made regarding coordinators.

agreed. LeBeau was the last good DC. Everything since has been a combination of mediocrity mixed in with Tomlin’s side gig as DC “consultant”Quote:
