Keeps Tomlin around for maintenance and makes some profit each year watching over the team. Art doesn't care for any improvements if it will cost him money, Just wants to make sure the Steelers are up to code.

Mic Drop!
I don't think it's the money. I think Rooney has gotten addicted to the praise he and the organization gets for not firing head coaches and keeping them around for a long time. This praise has become more important to him than actually contending for and winning championships.Originally Posted by JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue
That is a good take on it and there is some smoke there.

That sums it up although I think he is operating somewhat like a low rent landlord. Dan Rooney found other ways to maintain profitability, specifically by limiting the number of seats at Three Rivers so that during poor economic times the team would not have a problem selling out. Not selling out a home game had a lot more effect on broadcasting back in the day compared to today not to mention the need for expensive sky boxes today.

You probably would have said the same thing about Dan and Art SR when they kept Noll around for twelve years with only four appearances in the playoffs and only two wins, with four losing seasons, one of them bad. Should have gotten rid of ownership right then and I’m sure we could still be stuck on four rings.
This is getting increasingly silly.
There are legitimate concerns, questions, and complaints about the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ownership is not one of them.
This is the same poster that complained about a post being 3 paragraphs long and that he couldn't read it...

Art Jr is one of the vice presidents of the team as well as a former scout.
Not sure the point of this thread.

Did you guys know the Rooneys are cheap?
Array title="oneforthetoe has a reputation beyond repute">
I heard they hold up the line at the grocery store, while their servants search for the coupons their children were forced to spend hours, under sweat shop conditions, clipping from the newspapers. Least that's how I heard it told.
Thats almost certainly right.
I heard they still run child labor mills. Their small fingers can really work the looms and whatnot.

Oh yes. We've known that for at least 50 years.

Cheap!

Maybe we can get some solid ownership based off season rumors?
I think there was one awhile back that the minority owners were going to force Rooney to fire everyone.
I heard that theyre going to sell to the Saudis and move the team to Riyadh.

Noll is different. The Steelers owed him because he was so great, the best coach in Steelers history and top 5 of all time.
They ran Don Shula out of Miami and it turns out he was the same thing and the same class act as Noll. The 1970s were absolutely the best decade to watch the NFL. It's been all downhill since.
Notwithstanding, it would probably be best for a fresh start. The Rooney's will probably let Tomlin's contract run out and Mike could take a season off then go into broadcasting. I think Tomlin likes being on camera more than coaching at this point.
All Defense!
There's a difference between not caring about winning and caring about winning but being unsuccessful at it. Prove that Rooney doesn't care about winning. And don't say "because Tomlin sucks as a coach and Rooney keeps bringing him back." Rooney might honestly think he can win with Tomlin.

In the long run, ownership is the chief factor in the performance of every team.
They should sell the team to Dan Snyder.
not even sure why I click on a thread titled as such ... my bad
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

I'd rather it stay in the hands of the Rooneys.
Welp you heard the Rooney's speak and just reinforces my analogy.
Array title="oneforthetoe has a reputation beyond repute">
You are comparing a NFL owner with a pretty decent personal reputation, who has admittedly failed to move his team forward in his tenure, to a landlord that would potentially leave children without necessities like electric, clean water, or a pest free environment. I'm not trying to take a personal shot at you, but I think it's a terrible analogy.

You take it to serious. Point is Art is turning into the Pirates owner before our eyes.
