A poor reference on putting both Harbaugh’s in the DC area.

Does it make more sense for Tomlin to be on the University of Maryland short list?

Re: Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach
I doubt Tomlin would swap out AJRII for Danny Snyder as an owner but definitely will not go to work for a team president like Bruce Allen, who is incompetent and has a history of sliming coaches & front office personnel when it goes bad
Tomlin may be drawing to the end of his time with the Steelers but will have better opportunities if he wants to stay in coaching instead of cashing checks like Cowher to join a pregame network chuckle fest

Perhaps I think the article is bullshit
LaConfora’s hot rumor around this time last year was Le’Veon being traded to the Eagles

Re: Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach
This is getting a bit unnecessarily angry.
Even if Snyder was willing to give up the multiple draft picks it would take to pry a sitting head coach out of a 3 year contract AND give said coach total control AND totally revamp his way of doing business to stop sabotaging the on-field product — why would a successful coach want the job?
No high draft picks to rebuild a roster totally devoid of talent.
A toxic relationship with the local fan-base
The team name makes people angry
An owner with a reputation for being cheap, meddling, and more interested in making money and having people kiss his ass than winning football games.
With 2-4 high round draft picks stripped out of that Franchise, it would be the WORST job in the league by a country mile.

Thanks for sharing.
I have no interest in reciprocating your personal attack (my comments were directed at La Canfora's rumor mongering and not at you) but will post this from someone who does get paid to cover the NFL in general and the Steelers in particular

Re: Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach
The Steelers have nothing to lose or give up at this point. If they truly valued Tomlin for the long term, they wouldn't have given him a one-year extension this past August. 2-8 in their last ten games. 3 Playoff wins since 2011. No playoff wins since 2016. Holding onto Tomlin will accomplish nothing. Nothing will change or improve. The Packers and Bengals had to cut loose the dead weight that wasn't getting it done. Its time for the Steelers to do the same. A new era is needed.
The Steelers move into a new direction with a young core and a new coach, Tomlin moves on to greener pastures, and the Steelers Organization saves their face by not "firing" Tomlin.
Throw in a first round pick and I'd pull the trigger for good.

Tomlin is that good. The coordinators on the other hand...not so good.
But if I am getting a potential Top-3 2020 pick and a first round pick in 2021...I’d seriously consider that...

Re: Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach
Tomlin is signed through the 2021 season. Plus the team holds an option for 2022.
This is basically the same contract structure for anyone who is any good and costs any money across the roster.
Loaded up for a 2019-21 run around Ben R.
Tomlin sticks around for that. Coordinators? Who knows.
When Gruden was traded it was for 2 firsts and 2 seconds and he only had 1 year left on his Raiders deal. Tomlin has 3. So ‘Skins would have to part with what to top Gruden’s trade?
I would be shocked if that happened.

At least one “source” agrees
"I don't see Mike going to Washington," the source continued. "That is so far-fetched. It's so far out there. It would have to be a deal that the league never has seen before and would change the way business is done in football, and I don't see that happening."
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...bj-trade-rumor
But this rumor is generating page clicks for the sports gossip columnists who started it and for the other gossip columnists rebutting it so mission accomplished for the online sites

Pretty much. Gotta feed the beast. More grist for the mill. Yadda yadda.
By this time next year we will be reading about how the Rooneys were foolish to not take 4 first round picks for Tomlin. Amazing what people will believe because something on the internet told them some nonsense.
I think the Steelers are going to trade Devin Bush back to Michigan for Harbaugh anyways. Need to regain that gritty and tough swagger.

Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach
Okay so this is what I want and Tomlin is the Redskins Head Coach:
• 2020 first and second round picks
• 2021 first and second round picks
• 2023 third and fifth round picks
• $5M in cash
• WR Terry McLaurin
Steep price? Absolutely...but the Redskins aren’t going to find a coach of that caliber anytime soon. I’ll throw in Artie Burns and Donte Moncrief as well...lol
-
Re: Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach
I would take a 1 2020 pick from any bottom feeder team for Tomlin. Specially if that means the other coaches would be gong as well. Butler, Fichtner and Smith are more the problem then Tomlin. If Tomlin leaving means they are gone as well and the 1 pick is just icing on the cake.

I'm just not sure why anyone would believe Dan Snyder if he says he will give Tomlin full control. This is the guy that picks his favorite quarterback and then hangs out with him in the building while the rest of the team is working. He then brings him around with him everywhere he goes like he's his pet. The guy that tries to force the head coach to play who he decides should play whether it makes sense or not.
I wouldn't trust Snyder as far as I could throw him.

What, like if he wears sunglasses or not and wins every challenge he makes? That kind of stadium environment. My guess is whoever replaces him will be criticized for his clock management, because most fans manage their timeouts better than NFL HC's.

Totally agree. I was just trying to answer a Tomlin quote with more Tomlin quotes.
The cottage industry of NFL talking heads, Twitter, and fans that are doing differential calculus to determine proper time-out usage is getting aggravating. For instance in this game, and the Ravens game, the Steelers had zero interest in running a compressed two minute drill with their back-up QB(s). So the lack of time-out usage was/is totally understandable. But gotta wade through 110 postings about how dumb everything was.

Snyder is the perfect example of a fan playing armchair GM who actually had enough cash to turn it into a reality.
I truly sympathize with 'Skins fans. They deserve a lot better.

I don't know if he would go with a different color for his sunglasses, but his 1000 yard stare will look exactly the same. :chuckle:
