But the Steelers will be crushed on Sunday night, Renegade will be booed once again, fire Tomlin will fill the stadium and absolutely nothing will change, wash, rinse, repeat.

Does Henry break the 200 yard mark?.......Or should I say....what quarter does Henry break the 200 yard mark? 1st? 2nd? etc...:confused:
 
I look at it like this.... Tomlin has had 3 very good QB's with Ben, Wilson, and now Rodgers. 2 are HOF bound, and maybe Wilson and they still can't get it done. And the play calling remains constant no matter who the coordinators are, and the season results are the same year after year. I saw Ben get upset with play calling in an important game, and I'm pretty sure I saw Rodgers do the same in this latest loss vs the Stains. In fact, I think I remember Romo saying let Rodgers "do his thing" sometime during the broadcast.

The problem is Tomlin, and has been for years. No shocker to most of you. But, the sad thing is a loss to the Rats might be the only thing that can ultimately make things better and I hate to say that.

Embarrassment hasn’t got him replaced so far… not so sure another does anything.

On Debo's podcast he says they need top down change but it won't happen till after 2026. But to me it's this March or bust because they either exercise his 2027 option or not. If not I think it's done now. If it's is I have no idea.

True....but fans haven't chanted "Fire Tomlin" in the past either. If they lose the AFCN next Sunday, it might get pretty loud. But, you're probably correct.

He's not getting fired. He's going to walk away after deafening boos Sunday night and find another place where he's loved. This Con job has run it's course, and he knows it.

Renegade should not be played again until this waste of a paycheck, NFL coaching job, and sperm is no longer part of our beloved Steelers.

Think that would do it huh? His tenure he has had a plethora of flat out embarrassing losses and yet he still trots himself right out there. You really think a fan booing will alter his course?

I don’t.

I am not sure what will but that isn’t it.
 
If I need a head coach to give a word salad press conference Tomlin is the guy.

If I need a HC to develop players, make in game adjustments and be able to scheme against bad teams, Tomlin is the worst!

This team
Needs a hugely embarrassing loss at home against the Ravens to finally wake up and get change

Without DK I'm pretty sure you are right. This won't be one of those close Steeler Ravens game, we are getting waxed.
 
Cleveland has the #1 pass defense and the best pass rusher.
We are missing our #1 WR, and Calvin Austin is out.
So what's the game plan in the rain and wind, that's right throw the ball 39 times, brilliant.
 
An owner dumb enough to pay DK despite having specific language in his contract to help prevent the whole assaulting a fan and costing his team a playoff spot type of behavior IS also supposed to be too cheap to move on from Tomlin (and his significantly lower number owner would have to eat).

It ain’t about money.
Art is dumb enough to truly have bought in 110% into mediocre Mike…it’s a full blown love affair.

Mike will go nowhere, no matter how many fans realize it’s the best play. The head Nutting on top is “just glad he’s our coach” and I’d expect them to start hammering out a new deal shortly after the option is taken by the team. Happens every time, the results matter not…obviously

I never thought it's been about money. He really thinks Tomlin is his best chance to win. I wonder if Rooney values more the fact that Tomlin never loses a team over winning.

The Steelers have completely bought into stability and take pride in 3 coaches over the past 50+ years.

The non-losing streak has become a yearly goal whether they admit it or not and it’s a big reason why we are stuck in neutral. Yeah, we won’t see a bad season, but we’ll never contend either.

It’s a business, but relationships are forged and when Tomlin has been around this long, he’s probably a good friend to ARII and it’s gotta be tough to fire a friend. It’s why you have Schefter saying Tomlin will decide when he goes, not ARII.

I think they’re afraid of failure. 10-7 is fine if you’re not one of the most storied franchises in the league that is about championship football. The Steelers have only won a playoff game in 4 of 18 (about to be 19) seasons. A new coach may struggle until we have an answer at QB. ARII doesn’t want to fire the coach who has them “in it” every year.
 
If you listen to announcers like Romo, Tomlin is a great coach and beloved all across the league.
If so, then trade him. I know it won't happen and Duece will just let his contract expire, or more likely, extend it.

This defense is ranked #27 in the league

Please list Rodgers bad throws today outside of the 4th and short which should never have been called

Blame bad play calling and a horrible WR room for the passing. In what world does Sanders go 3 quarters with more passing than Aaron Rodgers?

The buck stops with the head coach, today was pathetic, he wears it

Do you seriously want him back next year?

If you watch some of the break downs guys were open but not seen by Rodgers. On the 4th and 1 i think it was thielen was wide open over the middle, but Rodgers went for the hero ball. The playcalling or targeting at the goaline was awful. I don't know if that was on Rodgers or Tomlin.

It’s easy and comfortable for him
He seems quite complacent

Why would he change anything as long as the financials keep improving? It is a business first and foremost no matter how attached some fans are to the results/product.
 
A lot of emotion this week after the pathetic showing in Cleveland. Can you imagine the fan reaction in the stadium Sunday night if the Steelers come out lackluster. If the boos start the chant on Tomlin start playing our biggest rival Baltimore. It will be the battle call for ever in the Ravens locker room. AS a long tome fan one of the few times I have no faith in this week game, I saw some videos when the few time our receivers in the middle open, were ignored, passes to the side line and behind line of scrimmage was it all day. Watching the replay of game on fourth down we had a running back open at the five no defense around him, yet Rogers looked only one way. We have-not used the middle under Tomlin since Ben, conservative paly each and every game it appears. So, this week with nothing to lose will be the same old Steelers.

This is by far the best take I've read on Tomlin in Pittsburgh.

Good one, and a couple from the article:

In explaining his decision to get rid of Canada, Tomlin said, “I just think you know when you’re there, to be blunt and short about the answer.” A few days earlier, then-Steelers running back Najee Harris was more transparent. “You could do two things,” Harris said. “You could look at the record and say, ‘OK, we’re still good right now.’ Or we could look at the record and be like, ‘If we keep playing this type of football, how long is that **** going to last?’ I look at it like, ‘How long that **** going to last?’ Y’all could look at it like it’s a good record, but I mean, it’s the NFL. Winning how we did, it’s not going to get us nowhere.”

Yet as a famous philosopher once said, “We’re not going to live in our fears. We’re going to live in our hopes.” That philosopher was Mike Tomlin, explaining a 2015 fake field goal attempt gone horribly awry. His statement applies to decision-making as a whole. How long can fear be a deterrent? At what point does risk aversion become a risk itself? When does stability become just a carefully masked name for cowardice?

I wonder if Tomlin knows "he's there"? He should if he's half as smart as he thinks he is.

He probably even misses the irony of the two words on his hoodie.... That's exactly what he does among the fans: Inspire Change.
