Tomlin to Redskins Discussion Thread

Complete control of operations? A chance to leave before everyone else realizes he is just an average coach and not this great franchise Coach?

Complete control of a team that has almost no high draft picks and no talent on the team. It doesn't have a QB. The offense is ranked 30th and the defense is ranked 30th. HE will have nothing to work with. At least here he has an excuse this year and a HOF QB coming back next year and probably the year after that.

IF he knows he's an average coach why go to Washington and get exposed?
 
Oh no! How dare they! I just can’t imagine our beloved Steelers without our fearless and strategic leader Mike Tomlin at the helm. They’d have to give us at least a first and second round pick to make me okay with that. Maybe even more picks

More money. He will like it.

If you think about it there is really no upside for Tomlin to take the job. Think about this:

1. Washington would have to trade away a lot of high draft picks. They may not win 2 games this year. So we're talking top 5 in every round.
2. Tomlin would have zero to work with. They obviously don't have the talent to win now and won't have the draft picks to win in the future.
3. Tomlin still has 3 years left here. 2 of those will be with a HOF QB and a defense with at least 8 1st round picks.
4. Tomlin gets to play the clowns and bungles every year. The rats have a RB at QB for the next few years. The skins play the Cowboy, Eagles and even NY (who are better than them now).
5. Owners... Who do you want to play for? Rooney lets Tomlin do about whatever he wants. Snyder is known as a hands on owner. He's like Jones in Dallas.

I can't think of one good reason why Tomlin would agree to any of that.

He are the reasons he may go

1. Security. The Rooneys only gave him a one year extension instead of a multiyear one... people postulated that this means that the Steelers aren’t as committed to him as we think... there were rumblings that a significant minority owner wanted him on the hot seat... if it was Tull or Mcginley then they could probably force a move if they wanted. Giving up a lot of picks would be a get out of jail free card for him... also he has history with the GM there who Snyder adores...

2. Ben may be done... Tomlin might not last without a hof qb to bail him out... assuming ben adds a win or two a season look back and adjust the record by -1 game and tomlin doesn’t look nearly as good...

3. Money... Tomlin isn’t the highest paid coach and unlike Bell he isn’t an idiot... a huge five year contract would assure he can retire comfortably even if he got fired.

4. Legacy. It’s going to be hard for tomlin to make the HOF with his current resume... rebuild the Redskins into anything significant and he becomes a lock...

5. Family... he grew up close by... he has ties to the area... his son is close by...

I mean i still doubt it happens...it almost feels like something Tomlins agent floated to try to get the Steelers to pony up more years...
but again the Redskins GM was the Tampa GM when Tomlin was there.... and the Snyder Redskins once paid marvin lewis HC money to be their DC...
 
What are the odds................?





Salute the nation

maybe, but I think you are trying to justify him going there and there's just not enough to hold water of him going there. He is secure here, like it or not. He would have to really crap the bed for multiple seasons in a row for the Rooneys to make a change. He's going to get a No Ben pass this year. Next year, he should have a healthy Ben and some money opens up to bring in some FAs to fill holes. He's is a lot better off here than going to an unknown team, owner and GM. All he has to do is shut it down quickly and early and the Rooneys wont take Snyder's call.

Snyder with deep pockets, I would think this would be mighty attractive for Tommy tom.

I don't think it is tampering if they talk owner to owner or gm to gm. It is tampering if they talk to Tomlin or his agent.

That's the thing, I think Cool Shades believes the hype (outside of Pittsburgh and us weary fans).

They would talk to ownership and they'd make sure it was nothing like tampering. Knowing Snyder, it could be some crazy blockbuster deal that'd make even our jaws drop.

Teams are calling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you Art I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way
 
Make it so. Throw Butler in for free
 
Snyder and Tomlin deserve each other, a match made in arrogant and ignorant heaven.

Never had a losing record. Until maybe this year, which he (and the team) will blame on their franchise QB missing 14.5 games.

And in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair
But gollum and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her.

I think I'm going to Ramble on...sing my song.
