Don't be surprised if he leaves and goes elsewhere, if he brings Cowher's playbook with him, and we will know exactly what he will do and how. So everytime we play his new team, we can predict which of the eight plays and defensive alignments he will employ. Should be an easy win.

I guess that's why the Steelers are one of the NFL's most losing teams during Tomlin's tenure. Always an easy win against old Mike.

Tomlin will be here for 15 or 20 more years. But, dreaming is free.

While I pray you're wrong, it wouldn't be out of the question.
But I seriously believe IF Tomlin does Tomlin things, and is over .500 but loses in opening round of the playoffs the next three years, that even the Deuce cannot ignore anymore and doesn't renew the contract again.

This is my boat, I’m paddling as hard as I can to get this boat to fruition.

I think Coaching change happens at the earliest with ending of Coach Tomlin’s current contract, or when Art 2 steps down for sure.

It isn’t just the coach himself, but also all the sub-coordinators he has brought in to continue the slag performance all down the line. (Keeping the OL coach is proof).

Was hard to imagine and accept an 8 yr drought, but extremely hard to fathom a 11 yr drought and still have a job. ADD in this great franchise’s history and performance.

I wonder how many non-Cowher players coached under Coach Tomlin, will make the HOF ???

So in 10 or 15 years we can look forward to winning 1 game if by chance we play that team. Something to look forward to. Yeah

But if he goes to Cinci or Cleveland or Balt. that'd be 2 wins a year every year, so there's that :sneaky:
 
Ben made a startling statement on his podcast that should tell you everything you need to know about Tomlin. Per Ben:
“I had a conversation with Coach Tomlin and we were talking offensive stuff. I said what if their defense does this? Coach said, they won’t. I said what if they do, what do we do? Coach said they won’t.”
I rest my case! Tomlin as I’ve said for years around here thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. He’s too ******* arrogant to take a step back and objectively look at things. All Ben was asking this so called great coach was what if the opposing defense comes out in a different look. Tomlin’s response, they won’t.
WTF are we doing here with this guy?

I'm so glad all this **** is coming out, there's been a decent number of fans that have been saying this stuff about Tomlin for at least 10 years now, and the apologist always blame the OC's or the QB's.

That's brilliant coaching right there, your HOF Coach guys, "they won't do that, so let's not prepare"
LOL, reminds me of when we got our ***** handed to us by NE in the AFCCG in 2016, they ran some reverse or flea flicker, when asked after the game about that, Tomlin said that's the first time I've seen them run that, they ran the exact same play 6 weeks prior that vs Baltimore.

I can think of one sure fire (Watt), one maybe (Heyward), and one that should have been sure fire (Brown).

Heyward is the bubble. Brown should be in, 2nd or 3rd ballot. Just my opinion, but if Shazier hadn't gotten injured....... he sure could of had a chance.

Mikey will be here for 9 more years. First to guarantee that he is the all-time winning coach for the Steelers, but just as important, that he passes Lambeau and Landry as the longest tenured coach in NFL history. Ego demands it.
 
One thing that might drive him out early is if he realizes that additional non-losing season with no playoff wins will tarnish his reputation and keep him out of HOF consideration or any future gigs as a coach or sports personality - not that he should be considered HOF in any case.
