sometimes a little anger in the press conference is warrantedQuote:

I’ve determined that the worst thing that can happen is for Tomlin to finish with his first losing season. All of Steeler Nation will be portrayed as spoiled brats for wanting their head coach to be fired after his FIRST losing season. The media noise will be deafening. The reality is that Tomlin isn’t being fired either way. Better off that they finish 9-8 and start fresh with a new offensive staff. Give Pickett the chance to show he can play quarterback when given a professional OC.

It’s like yelling at the ref. It doesn’t work in real time but you hope to get an advantage in the near future when similar circumstances arise.Quote:

Shannon Sharpe on Mike Tomlin:
"That's not the standard for the Steelers. The Steelers are about championships. We gotta stop rewarding, oh, he's above 500. That's not why they pay you $8-9 million to be above 500. They pay you for championships and to get the team in the playoffs, make deep playoff run. When was the last time the Steelers made a deep playoff run?"

From July. I realize Dulac is the original source but whatever.
It's possible that it's time to move on from Tomlin, but so many fans think the next guy will just walk in here and success will start. Just no, it's much more likely the next guy will be a complete dud and we become a team, and a fan base that dreams of 9-8 seasons. Again, the team has struggled to find competent coordinator/assistant coaching. But hiring next HC? no problem.
Sometimes i feel the fans think the same way of KP. What, 2 seasons and no superbowl??Quote:

Letting Tomlin go is a risk, but when has playing it safe worked out for the Steelers? When you look at their recent track record, it really hasn't.Quote:

Playing it safe put the Steelers in this unenviable spot of being nowhere near contention, but not bad enough to salvage a top draft pick. So we retain Tomlin. Does the needle move anywhere? What is our ceiling? Do we keep swapping out players and parts constantly until Tomlin is fielding this mythical Super Bowl roster with no weaknesses?
The way Tomlin is coaching now, I think that it's about 75-25 that the new guy will be better.Quote:

Those worked out ok,
Take the risk
Steelers with a talented roster probably coming off an 8-9 record, they're primed for a new coaching staff
It would really have to be the perfect storm for the Steelers to move on from Tomlin after the season. Losing out wouldn't even put him on the hot seat. What it would take is Tomlin initiating a conversation about leaving, or an impasse regarding staff hiring. Otherwise, put all your wishes in the Santa thread.

Both of those guys retired and were not fired.Quote:

how long should we have to wait for this to be fixed , now stop blaming Canada as Tomlin had plenty of time to end that disaster and chose to keep him on and then defend him to the biitter end
I was always a staunch supporter of Mike Tomlin.Quote:

I was pissed he kept him after year 1 and Ben took the blame for the offense , I thought it was BS than and still do... People said look Ben cant throw it more than 7 yards but 2 min drill would happen and he would throw it all over the yard all the sudden ...Quote:

Tomlin retained him again and I was done with Tomlin ....
this year Tomlin defended Canada at every turn right up until "he" fired him , still not convinced it was Tomlins Idea , I think Tomlin was Ordered to fire him

week 15 passing leaders .... the top 3 all was/is AFCN players all backups at some point ...
yet we cant manage a starter to get that many yards passing regardless of what jersey number he wears
