Ragnarok Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 He tends to have good control of the locker room, has winning teams, and seems to be well-respected around the league. He has also never had a losing season and is 8-7 in the playoffs. Plus, the Rooneys do not get rid of coaches very quickly. I can't see a situation where he gets let go. Who do you bring in that is better? I think this is a very different situation than MM in GB. MM was losing the locker room(or at least Rodgers) and it was evident that his offensive scheme and game planning were behind the rest of the league. I know Tomlin makes bad decisions like all coaches, but is he regularly outcoached? Or does he just suffer from the occasional 3 INT game from Ben?

JAF-N72EX Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 He should get fired because it's so easy to find a good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to be out coached when you don't manage either side of the ball.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't meant to offend you and I don't use sarcasm font. Especially for obvious ones like that. The discussions about coaching staffs on this forum are hilarious most of the time. According to alot of people on this forum there is only one good coach in the entire league and the rest are easily expendable and can be found overnight because it works in fantasy football or video games.

BlaqOptic Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 This thread is always so hilarious. Part of me wishes that we fire him so we can get a real crap coach who continues to go sub .500 so that certain contingent of Steelers fans can STFU and leave the fanbase.

This attempted accusation of racism makes you kind of pathetic. Did Mike McCarthy have the second highest winning percentage of any active coach? Mike Tomlin consistently wins at a level no other NFL coach not named Bill Belichek surpasses. For him to be on the hot seat is a joke. Comparing him to McCarthy is simply not valid. Tomlin won at a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Big Ben are getting older. Got to think some decisions get made if the Steelers miss the playoffs. We actually aren't that old outside of Ben. Sure guys like AB and most of our line is around 30 but that's not so old that play is declining just yet or that they need to be replaced immediately, We have about 4 years or so with most of this group still together. The only problem is that those 4 years are gonna be filled with the death of Ben's career, and either the growing pains of a new starter, or the ineptitude of a career backup, plus a terrible defense.

Tomlin and McCarthy both seem to have run their course for being an effective HC in their current (and former) situations. Doesn't mean they won't be successful elsewhere. I just can't help but wonder if Big Ben needs to be energized in the same way Rodgers needed it with McCarthys firing. Ultimately, I dont think Tomlin survives in a post Big Ben era in Pittsburgh. Will see who lasts longer. There's a slight difference between McCarthy's situation and Tomlin's. Tomlin has never had a below .500 season, and McCarthy was on his way to his third this year (although Tomlin might get his first this year). Tomlin's past three years have been 13-3 lost divisional round, 11-5 lost AFC championship, 10-6 lost divisional round. McCarthy's past three years have been 7-9 missed playoffs, 10-6 lost NFC championship, 10-6 lost divisional round. Ben has no apparent problem with Tomlin. Tomlin hasn't lost the team just yet, he will likely be allowed to play out the rest of his contract and then retire or take another job somewhere else.

Yeah they should totally move on from probably the greatest Steeler since the 70's dynasty who they have signed for the next 3 years for an average of $14M a year in cap hit regardless.

The mistakes he makes are really dumb ones. He/his FO built the most talented offense in the league and he let Haley ruin it's prime, he consistently lets his team play down to opponents and this is something that has to fall back on coaching/the culture coaches establish, and his defenses over the past several years have been extremely consistent for letting teams come back and score late in games, and yet he still hasn't learned to manage the clock around it. There's no reason he shouldn't have been widely regarded as the second best HC behind BB for the past 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
