Dulac reports Art growing impatient and frustrated

[diver]

You mean like when Cowher was coach?
Or like Vrabel seems to be doing in NE, Lafleur has done in GB.....that sorta thing?

Yeah. Exactly. Have I argued against that?

If they are not keeping him around for the win total please name a legitimate reason.one damn good reason…

Cuz he’s been trending upward-definitely not
Since he’s a great team builder- definitely not
Since he’s developing talent- definitely not
Since he’s so close to a SB- definitely not

It is not far fetched at all to assume that is what Art has in mind as his crowning achievement since he won’t be adding a Lombardi to the case..

Many times the most obvious reason is the reason and OBVIOUSLY the win total threshold argument makes far more sense than any other…the people
That have asserted that just may be right…I’d say it’s quite likely the plan

1. Deuce isn't going to fire his father's Rooney Rule hire no matter what.
2. He looks at the "no losing seasons" record and thinks that's good enough, not realizing that much of the fan base uses it as a punchline.
3. Black fans, who make up the majority of the Tomlin Fan Club, will be screaming "Rayciss!!!". The only possible reason for firing a coach who's never had a losing record over 18 seasons. Or firing the coach who's only had one losing record over 19 seasons.
4. The OG Art Rooney was not a football guy and the team under him was mostly bad. Dan Rooney WAS a football guy and the team under him was pretty good. Deuce is a lawyer and not a football guy and under him the team is getting steadily worse.

Best they will do is not extend his contract. We have two years to go. Deuce doesn't pay people to sit at home and not work.

I'll say another thing. I remember the debates on Cowher well, especially after 2004. I do not recall this level rage against people who disagreed one way or the other. The second anything is said that is even misconstrued as a defense of Tomlin, look out. If you aren't blaming him for every damn evil in the world or agreeing with every accusation against him, regardless of how stupid, well, hell, you support him. It's bullshiit.

I think that black and white, and nothing in between, attitude is just a reflection of today's society. It's everywhere on the internet, not just in Steeler Nation debates about Tomlin.

Is Mike self aware enough to realize that the game has passed by his archaic, inept concepts of a scheme?

No.

Is Mike willing to put in the work to get better?

You're funny.

Is Mike is too scared to take a chance?

Just need to hire some people who can get the job done
