Agreed, he's one of the best nicest guys I have ever met on a Steelers message board.I personally have to thank Fansince76 for this site. I haven't been a member for very long, but I guested in for quite a while. It's a great site!

Yep. FS76 has been a great administrator and an underrated but fair poster. One of the main reasons I stick around.
Cheers!

Best person associated with this hive of scum and villainy.
Hey, I resemble that remark.

Enthroned Into The Good Old Boys Club - 2024
Now this place is overrun and infested with almost nothing but Good ole boys!
This is quite rich coming from someone who's even more obsessed with Mike Tomlin.
Here is the post in question:
Looks to me like I said I'd be ecstatic if getting only 5 wins would get Tomlin fired and we got a coach who would give us a chance to win a Super Bowl. THAT'S what would make me ecstatic, not the five wins.If 5 would be enough to get Tomlin fired so we could get a coach who would at least give us a chance to win another Super Bowl, I'd be ecstatic.
Unfortunately, even with 5 we probably won't be rid of him.
I then said that I knew that getting only five wins would NOT get Tomlin fired. So how could I be rooting for it?
Sorry, try again.
I'm very grateful that Fansince76 is running this site. But does that mean that nobody is allowed to disagree with him?

Clueless.
Yep! And treasonous.
I just want to get to the playoffs and legitimately compete. Super bowl is unlikely of course, but it's time to end the playoff win drought.
Right now, it appears that the Steelers are the Harbaugh and Lamar-led Ravens kryptonite. And the Browns and TNF are Tomlin’s. What does this mean?
It means neither HC is going anywhere else at the moment. It’s really that simple. If either Tomlin or Harbaugh got fired, they’d be hired by another team before your morning coffee cooled. It’s easy to say “Fire the HC!” after a bitter loss. Who’s out there that’s better? Trust me, Panthers and Cowboys fans would LOVE to have the seasons the Steelers have had during Tomlin’s tenure.
Beat the wife. Kick the dog. Set your hair on fire. But constantly calling for Tomlin to get fired is as foolish as Ravens fans constantly calling for Harbaugh to get canned. There’s a reason both are the longest-tenured HC’s in the NFL at the moment. They win. Maybe not every game (no HC does). Maybe they make some foolish or head-scratching decisions at time (every HC does). But in the long run, they win. And they will likely continue to win. Maybe not all the way to the SB, but only two of 32 teams make it that far every season and only one brings home the Lombardi. It’s hard. Very hard. But you have to win during a 17-game season to get there, and that’s something a Tomlin-led team does every freaking year. Maybe not enough W’s to make the post-season, but they consistently compete for it. Trust me- fans of many teams would love to have the records and W’s both the Steelers and Ravens have posted over the 17 and 16 seasons.
Uh oh…now a Ravens fan, who is more liked and respected than the treasonous ones, is calling certain people out…
Lol, the browns are not the steelers or Tomlin’s kryptonite. Not even close. 5-5 since the 2020, and 16-3 in favor of the steelers in the decade before that. And TNF is everyone’s kryptonite being that its on a short week. One stupid TNF game in their house and the browns won on a fluk play or two.
Wait. That's quite the change from Tomlin and Austin were terrible and the offensive line hung the QB out to dry.

terrible for just one game. But i think i said theyre doing a good job overall this season.
He’s saying the Browns in Cleveland on Thursday Night Football is Tomlins kryptonite. Not just TNF or the Browns.
Nah, I like my dog.
maybe, it read the browns AND thursday night, but maybe im misunderstanding
I mean either they lost one game due to systemic and pervasive failures or they lost on a small number of fluke plays.
Those are basically mutually exclusive things.

Oh my, moments like these make me so glad to be living on the other side of the pond.
i dont know, maybe the systemic weaknesses or failures led to the game coming down to a fluke play or two

Tomlin is 2-8 in road TNF games. Has nothing to do specifically with the Stains. It is in general. I mean TNF after the Ratbirds is just the NFL schedulers being assholes
The Steelers lost that 1980 game vs the Oilers. Noll should have been fired for them not scoring a point

And follow that up with the Bengals up next coming off their bye week.
That Steelers team was pretty much over the hill by that time. Terry was terrible in that game: 3 int’s, sacked a number of times. We lost 2 of 3 to end the season at a dismal 9-7. Thats when i knew the ride was over.

The year before were huge signs they were starting to get old. Losses of 34-10 to the lowly Bungles and then a 35-7 whipping by the Air Coryell Chargers. They still won the Super Bowl in 1979 -80 but the cracks were showing then
