Coach Tomlin on the Pivot

[skialta]

As per usual he's not not likeable.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Would LOVE to sit have three beers and shoot the breeze about football with Coach Tomlin but likeable and having players that want to play for you only works if you have chess players around to make the calls.

I have said it many times, Mike Tomlin seems to be an excellent role model for young men, and most likely a genuinely great human being, but just a slightly above average HC.

I also said the same regarding Jimma Cotter, a great human being, but one of the worst persons to ever be President

It has NOTHING with being "likeable" or not. Most players hated Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Belichick, etc. when they played for them. It has to do with being the best coach possible. Shades is "well like" but how outstanding of a head coach is he? Not the best. We saw another case of it Thursday. Team was not prepared. JV on the coaching side of things.

 

[BLITZ]

He should be a motivational speaker.

Just seeing "it's my job to ready this group" when so often throughout the season they are not ready is reminiscent of LeBron James's constant talk about "with me being the leader of this team" and compensating for something year after year. They repetitively repeat the obvious almost to reassure themselves.

In Tomlin's case, stop talking about having your team ready and "building a championship group," and just do it or at least avoid getting doors blown off in playoffs every year.

What I'm hearing is that Tomlin has a lot in common with a Boeing jet.

That was a patented Mike Tomlin word salad response to a post in which I said the very same thing, albeit much more concisely.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Change your defensive and offensive scheme to current relevance, that will bring Mr. Tomlin out of the dinosaur age.

A pit, a pat, a pivot to the patent. Ohhhh boy, you got me!

Yea, Shades words sure do get hollow...really hollow. And he thinks we don't know.

I could easily see him going 7-4-7 at some point with the 18 game schedule.

People are at a point where they know what they're going to get from him. Some games they'll play tough and win, other games they'll look sloppy and unprepared like losing to a couple 2-10 teams last year. He'll say the same stuff over and over again as if on auto pilot. The lemmings as the season goes on will convince themselves -- despite all the talk about the last 2 1974-type drafts -- that Shades doesn't have enough talent on the roster as they careen toward another play-in game and one and done. Then we'll have another hyped up, insta-mythologized 1974 Khan Artist draft and repeat the process with Shades winning the offseason with word salad as usual.

But it wouldn't be a LOSING season, so he'd have that intact.

KaBoom, KaBlam. At least we got half the problem out the door, Colbert has been sh-- the last 5-7 years. That Kenny and Bush picks put us back 5 years each.

Wexell IIR has said that Tomlin pretty much has primary or final say on all draft picks so it has been a headscratcher why some people excuse him for not having the roster to go with his stellar coaching prowess.

7-3-7 MAX right now

He chooses players on how well he "vibes" with them, see Harvin who stuck around 3 years. Look at Moore who is listed as stater LT for 4th year in spite of sucking. Look at endless excuses he was making for Kenny who set the NFL record for lowest TD % per passes. Thank God for Kahn.

Yea, you got his #. But I have to admit, the lemmings are fewer and fewer these days. Fans are catching on the the bull sh--. They have had it.
