August4th Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I think colbert retires from the GM role 1-2 yrs from now. I don't think he'll be here long enough for his seat to get hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People interact a lot more with Tomlin than they do with Colbert. Now I’m sure there are dirtbags that want Tomlin gone for another reason, but I don’t think it’s beneficial to paint everyone with a broad brush. You’re not wrong it’s a broad strokes. I just find the reasons lacking any football logic because KC is just as well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be here long enough for his seat to get hot His seat gets hot on failed draft picks. He has not had 2 failed drafts in a row so I would say he has some wiggle room. I do agree that they hang on too long for some players. Green and Moore will be fine after they have a year to gain strength but the current situation does not give them time. I really, really hope Ben retires because if he wants to play, Art2 will give him a contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not give Tomlin credit for dragging a terrible QB situation to 8-8. Or making the playoffs with terrible defenses. Or winning 5 games with this crap roster. KC has not drafted a DB worth a damn outside of Troy and Taylor. Outside of Pouncey and DDC who should have never been there he hasn’t drafted OL well and it was only because of a coach they were good. RB drafting has been rather poor with Bell and Najee being the only good picks. KC has plenty of his own warts. Tomlin does deserve credit for 2 years ago...never said he didn’t. We agree KC has plenty of warts, me and Dcash both supported either a high pick or FA for RB due to them Sucking at using mid round picks at it. DB we’re both aware of their faults. Theyre 3-6 in the last 10 years in the playoffs with 2 of those wins against bsbkup QBs and IIRC the 3rd being when Burfict KOed AB and gave the Steelers field position for the FG. HC who have been in the same spot TEND to wear out their welcome...Carroll and Payton are in the same state as Tomlin...it’s time for a change. I stated this offseason Tomlin should be on the hot seat. I don’t really see what Tomlins strength as a HC are...he was the perfect hire at the time to replace Cowher...it’s that time again. Another thing to think about is that Tomlinreally doesn’t have a coaching tree around the league which is odd considering how long he has been the HC and how “good” he is....kinda odd. We bothare at the point where we are going to have to agree to disagree on this....if you want to respond that’s up to you.

MOSteelers56 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I think everyone needs to be on the hot seat. There are arguments to be made that KC and Tomlin deserve a couple more years, but I sure wouldn’t want to be on the side that has to argue that. At least not right now. I generally think they deserve a chance post Ben. @AFFmakes a good point about a lack of coaching tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 So why do Tomlins faults matter and Colbert’s don’t? This roster sucks. A new coach isn’t suddenly going to make this same roster good. Makes no sense to me to just change out the coach and let the same person control to control the roster makeup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Reid and Bill Belichicks coaching trees aren’t filled with winners. Heck you could say Tomlins “one man” tree of Arians is better than anything to come off those other two guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I mean….to Tomlins credit he kinda sparked the current waive of going after young coordinators rather than retreads as head coaches. I would say being the spark of what got guys like Sean Payton, Sean McVay and many others hired is just as impressive as being at the head of a coaching tree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Tomlin's issues are much more pronounced and consistent on a week to week and year to year basis. The only area Colbert constantly shiz the bed is with DBs. Both need to be on the hotseat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 feel like getting more talent into the trenches is more important then getting a QB this offseason. build up the lines and go after a young QB in 23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches typically get credit for coaching trees because they play a part in developing them. What youre speaking of is more teams copying the Rooneys success with hiring coaches than it has to do with Tomlin. The majority of Tomlins major successes was with a roster he didnt build and already established coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
