    Report: Mike Tomlin On Washington’s Short List To Be Next Head Coach




    Jay Gruden was the first NFL head coach to be fired, canned by Washington Monday morning after a hapless 0-5 start. One name owner Dan Snyder would like to replace him with? Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.

    That’s the report from Ed Werder, who included Tomlin on a
    short list with two other coordinators as men Snyder would consider hiring

    That's tampering. I demand Washington give us their first round pick next year as a penalty!

    If it happens it'll be at the end of the season.
    I doubt Tomlin goes anywhere he has a built in excuse with Ben being out.

    I don't think Tomlin would want to work for Dan Snyder...but who knows.

    What would ownership do if Snyder calls and offers their 2020 and 2021 first round draft picks for Tomlin?

    I don't think they would do that, but wouldn't they have to seriously think about it if they have no plans to give him a new contract. He has one year left, so he isn't available to the Redskins without permission and compensation.

    I'm sure the Steelers have a list of possible candidates for the head coaching position already in place.

    Washington can take him.

    Tomlin had his moments, but it is time for a fresh start. He is the new Marvin Lewis. Good enough to keep you competitive, but not quite good enough to get you over the top.

    And they'll make Fichtner head coach if he does leave.

    I hope Fichtner and Butler are also on Snyder's list.

    Milk Danny Boy for Picks Mr. Colbert. Tomlin still has a super bowl run gin his back pocket that we won very early with Bill Cowherd's players. I think 21 or 22 of Bill Cohwer starters remained when it happened.

    Obligatory posting about the devil you know versus the devil you don’t and to be highly careful about what you wish for.

    For every Tony Dungy that comes in and puts a franchise over the top there are 6 Dan Quins that seem like a helluva idea at the time.

    To be clear, Fichtner and Butle, I'll help load the moving truck. Tomlin, still not sure.

    If it takes Tomlin moving on to get free of the coordinators, sure?

    My preference. Split the difference and get new coordinators with the same head coach.

    Totally on board with this. Coordinators from the outside...coordinators that have never worn black and yellow...unless it happened to be Iowa Colors...

    Tomlin gets two more years with two good coordinators. If Ben doesn’t like it...well...I’d be said to say it but he can follow, Fichtner.

    With a decent DC, this defense could be the best in the league right now. With a great DC, this defense could be the best we’ve seen in the league for a few seasons. (The talent-level on defense is about to explode... if the DC had any smarts.)

    Fichtner has no clue what he’s doing. Period.

    As far as Tomlin goes, I love him, and the players never quit on him. That said, his message may have gotten stale (it happens to every coach). But, this season is just different enough where he might have changed his mantra, changed his demeanor... resulting in a rekindled spirit.

    SUMMATION:
    I’d keep Tomlin, but I would absolutely hire two new coordinators.

    SIDE-NOTE:
    This would never happen, but... If the Rooneys were indeed planning on firing Tomlin after this season, then why not trade Tomlin to Washington for a couple of R1 picks? Colbert is the master of trading lame duck personnel to inept teams.

    (Tomlin isn’t on the chopping block, and even if he were, that is not how the Rooneys do business.)

    If the raiders can get 2 first rounds and a 2nd round from tampa bay when gruden was traded and he didnt even have a super bowl win yet, then we should expect nothing less than 2 first round picks. If we get offered that, we should consider it......

    I think Dan Quinn will be available later in the year as a DC. He likes to run a 4-3, so would be a transition in finding some DE's that fit the 4-3.

    I really don't think Tomlin is going anywhere.

    Agreed - not just Tomlin but the coordinators. Defense is still giving up significant points and cannot get 4th quarter stops but increased turnovers along with a good pash rush presumably are enough to save Butler, especially given the assumption Tomlin is hands on with the defense. Fichtner is horrible but will get a pass because of the Ben and now Rudolph injuries. Only one who might go is Danny Smith given Tomlin’s expressed irritation with kickoff returns.

    Yeah and if Ben decides he is definitely coming back, I think he would lobby to keep his caddy around for his tenure, instead of looking for an experienced OC that doesn't run a college wildcat offense in the first sign of adversity.

    If the Defense continues to give up points, there is a chance that Rooney tells Mike to use the BA "retirement plan" on Butler. But I think if sacks and turnovers created continue to be solid, there will be another pass given. This defense has such talent on it currently, it should be top 10, but its not feeling that way so far.
