3rivers Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 he got permission to interview with Arizona. If we lose him this could be a serious loss . What do you think the chances are he goes? Who do we get to replace him? I don't trust tomlin as history has shown how terrible he was with the OL until Munchak arrived. Ben retiring and Munchak leaving could be a a recipe for failure.

DudeWhat??? Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Would hate to lose him... Great Oline coach’s are hard to come by... “Five days after the 2013 season ended for the Steelers, head coach Mike Tomlin made his first offseason move by dismissing offensive line coach Jack Bicknell, Jr. after one season. "I have decided to go in a different direction with respect to the coaching of our offensive line," Tomlin said in a statement. "I want to thank Jack for his contributions during the 2013 season, and I wish him well in the future." The Steelers regressed statistically in Bicknell's one season as the team's offensive line coach. They finished 27th in the league in rushing and averaged 3.5 yards per carry. Only the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars averaged fewer yards per carry. Last season, the Steelers were ranked 26th in rushing and averaged 3.7 yards per carry.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDSteeler1971 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think the biggest question for Munch is does he want to go in there without an established QB! Palmer retired and they will definitely be looking to draft one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 if we win SB, will he want to stay or does that even matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think the chances he goes are very significant. He is a great OL coach, but I'm sure the desire to be a HC still exists. I still wish that someone would hire Haley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ward4HOF Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would honestly ask, if I were the Rooney's, what they offer him as a contract to be a Head Coach, and then offer him $2M more and give him an increased title, like Asst Head Coach, like John Mitchell has. I'm sure he'd (Mitchell) would understood the move, and frankly, having an Asst on the Offensive side to balance out the Defensive side would seem logical. Or, they could place him above Mitchell...like Deputy Head Coach... Or, they could give him additional responsibilities outside of coaching, on the Football Operations side, like Asst GM, or Deputy Vice President of Football & Business Administration. I don't really care...Make HIM WANT TO STAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tomlin fails us, maybe have Munchak replace tomlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlin is leaps and bounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and some Steeler fans think they could coach NFL teams because they are that arrogant. In their eyes, coaches like Belichick grow on trees, everything Tomlin does sucks and for every good thing that has happened during his tenure, anyone else but him deserves credit. Im sure one of the haters will come out and call me a "Tomlin-fanboy", even though I have alot of criticisms of Tomlin's coaching. Im just not so blinded by irrational hate that I cant be realistic and objective. But yeah, Tomlin is garbage....one of the worst coaches ever that has only ever succeeded because of Ben. Lets go with that to make them happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how it goes, I'd love to have Tomlin as my coach, and that's coming from someone who is actually okay with Mularkey, and the reason for that is because I know what a bad head coach looks like. Jeff Fisher, Mike Munchak, and the worst of the worst, Ken Whisenhunt. You could do a hell of a lot worse than Mike Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everything Tomlin does wrong, he does alot right. Its funny, because alot of the Steeler moan about Tomlin, but alot of Steeler fans wanted Cowher fired back in the late 90s after missing the playoffs a few years in a row. If it were up to some fans, we would probably have a new coach after every bad game, until we found the 2nd coming of Bill Belichick. Hell....some Steeler fans wanted to bench or cut Ben after his 5 INT game vs Jacksonville. Its honestly embarrassing at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLambert58 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So it looks like Munch will interview for the Cardinals job this weekend in Pittsburgh. He was 22-26 for the Titans and is 57 years old. I know they've recently had success with another older coach in Arians. But I'm hoping those combined factors will result in his staying put in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
