I will say this, Mike Tomlin is the worst Steelers coach in over 50 years!

And he could still make the hall of fame and be the third best Steelers' QB in the last 50 years. Not that I think he is a lock but there is still a chance.

[Dwinsgames]

sounds like Tomlin has lost the locker room from what I am hearing

Bullshit. Head coaches absolutely set the culture. Chuck Noll's greatest accomplishment was that he turned a 40-year culture of expecting to lose into a 50-year culture of expecting to win. Now Tomlin may be changing it back.

Like Saturday knows anything about head coaching. His stint lasted 5 minutes and was a disaster. No one wants to blame Tomlin. He seems like “ a man’s man” and genuinely a solid human being. As HC he has to be held accountable. I mean it took him 2 1/2 games to bench MT. At very least Rudolph should’ve played second half vs The Cheats. He continued to double down . Not saying Rudolph would’ve saved the day but it was obvious Mitch wasn’t the answer. It’s now too late.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

If Head Coaches don't set the culture and is not responsible for his players, then what is Tomlin's purpose and why are the Steelers paying him, then? It may as well be spent elsewhere. Seems Terry Bradshaw was right. He is a cheerleader. Can him and get someone in here who will.

When you are the leader, things that aren't your fault are still your responsibility.

I get the sense that Tomlin does all he can to avoid conflict.

The issues that have plagued the team for the past few years need a direct approach. Mike's been using his natural ability as a motivational speaker to band-aid these problems, but now they've caught up to him. Look at the inconsistency with which he's handled the Chuks and Pickens situations. Chuks gets benched for talking about giving up. George gets coddled and remains a starter for ACTUALLY giving up ON THE FIELD.

Unfortunately, I think his approach has run its course and the need for a taskmaster is obvious.

I've been saying this for years. Tomlin relies on bravado to create an image, but I believe he completely avoids confrontation.

Not sure why people keep bringing up Chuks. He was awful and Jones is a much better RT than he is.

Trust me, if we traded up to draft a WR in the first round we would replace a subpar WR if he acted like Pickens or DJ.

I think Chuks was replaced for performance.

#10 is WHO? LOL never heard of him.

We were told he was benched for his comments. Whether that's true or not, who knows.

Therein lies the problem - Pickens and DJ should be benched anyway, regardless of who's up next. You can't pussy-foot around these issues or they destroy the morale of the team.

I'd bet my left nut these reported locker room problems are a result of Tomlin allowing known issues to fester for too long. See Matt Canada for reference.

That was a good win for Tomlin. Historically, better Steeler teams than this have struggled in Seattle and out west and even against bad Seahawk teams. We live another week.

[DesertSteel]

We'd be 11-5 if it wasn't for starting Trubisky.

At least when you compare Belicheat without Brady and Tomlin without Ben, Tomlin has the advantage.

Ray Fittipaldo's Steelers chat transcript: 01.16.24

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

DC Steeler fan: Tomlin is going to catch a lot of flak, but the Steelers looked better than the Cowboys, Dolphins, Browns, and Eagles this weekend. Two key plays, the Pickens fumble and interception in the end zone were due to execution, not coaching. Are we really going to be better off if we replace Tomlin?

Ray Fittipaldo: So giving up 31, 36, 45, 48 and 42 points in playoff games is acceptable? Falling behind by three touchdowns in a little more than a quarter is acceptable? Please. I agree with you to a certain point, but the coaches haven't done a good enough job in those games. And Tomlin has been present for all of them. It matters.

I would certainly trust Snoop Dogg to better run this franchise over Voice of Reason.
