FIRE MIKE TOMLIN!!

[The bell ringer]

You know we are all pounding our chests after that Blatimore game..saying to Bradshaw.." Hey Terry, how do you like Tomlin now " But truth be told...what Terry said is still mostly correct...Tomlin is NOT a very good Head Coach. I mean yeah we won Sunday. But in reality...was that final play call a good call ?..I say No way. I mean I remember two years ago in the Super Bowl, Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll was destroyed by the media for that play call down at the goalline. What IF Antonio hadn't gotten the ball over the line...game over. And we don't even have a chance at tying the game.


But with 14 seconds...shouldn't the proper call be to see if Ben can find a open man in the endzone ? We could have easily had 2 plays there, and even if they both were unsuccessful...we still would have had time for the kick. Okay like I said YES...we did score. But it still was a bad play call...Period.


And Tomlin in the past had done less with more then any other Head Coach I have seen. He has failed to prepare his past teams against HORRIBLE Oppents..and we lost. Only to lose out on securing a Bye seed, or failing to make the playoffs period. I mean YES you can say Tomlin has been a successful Head Coach. But what does that have anything to do with being a Good/Great Head Coach ? Answer...nothing.

Is Tomlin a GREAT coach? No. The comparisons to Cowher are tiresome. He wasn't great either. They are both good not great. In that sense, Bradshaw is correct. Even Tomlin said so.

Does Tomlin do things that frustrate me? Yes. Does he make the best decisions? No. Is he just a cheerleader? No.

Who would you want to replace him? McCarthy? Carroll? Payton? Hairball bros?

I say let his career finish out then rank him appropriately. But, I think the cheerleader thing was off base. Terry's entitled to his opinion but he's just an old school grouch who doesn't even visit the Steelers like other former players do (Franco, Swann, Stallworth - part owner, Blount, Mean Joe, Rocky, Tunch and Wolf of course, Woodson, Bettis)

Loved what Ryan Clark said about Bradshaw saying McCarthy is a great coach. McCarthy has 1 SB appearance. That's it. He won that game but hasn't been back or even to the conference championship game since. Tomlin has better stats than that already. Even Sean Peyton has 2 championship games on his resume, plus the 1 SB. Carroll has 2 SB appearances, puts him ahead of McCarthy too. None of what Bradshaw is saying makes any sense.
