There are a lot of bad coaches out there. This isn’t the 70’s when there were 7 future Hall of Famers on the sideline every week. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.
For the Tomlin NEVER coaches on the sideline crowd

- Start date
I believe that picture was Miami, but could be wrong. Claypool is in the picture, so thinking the rally cry was unheard.
You can argue with a lot of stuff. Try arguing with this: Teams with a longer playoff winless drought:
They are Denver, Carolina, Arizona, the New York Jets, Washington, Chicago, Vegas, Miami and Detroit.
Put that in perspective

BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A TABLET OR IPAD...
someone actually used "white board" for coaching on the sidelines. holy ****.
Tablets and white boards are not required for good coaching. Just showing what they are doing and what you are going to do in response.

It is about winning championships in this league not respect. I will give him this he did something this year to turn into a 9-8 team with the start we had.
Normally, yes, but not in this case. Which is why I found it refreshing to see. Not all that difficult to understand, is it?
Tomlin has no window. It's not linked to KP, it's not tied to anything. We can all speculate until the cows come home about when and why he should be gone (some of us correctly thought so five years ago) -- but the fact remains that he will continue on as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers until he decides to stop. There is no way on God's green earth that they will fire him, unless the man commits some sort of major crime. I'm talking like OJ-level stuff.
Yeah that's a bit of a problem.
Bullchyt that is coaching…

What has their team ever won ? Nothing.
What have the Steelers won?
It's OK to have high standards and expect it. We know what great looks like, they don't.
They have actually made the superbowl, so that is something unlike the Browns who could **** up a wet dream. They had to leave Cleveland and turn purple to win.
The standard is the standard.

Sorry Coachie Man
Ya spew bs don’t get mad is someone calls ya on it
If everyone he has had contact with was of one opinion it would have to be a tragically small sample size like
Or keep lying and I’ll keep calling BS Coachie Man
If it were true, which it clearly isn’t, then that would be an even larger indictment of how average-suck Shades is

22 teams with a more recent win in the play offs. Bottom third for us, win / loss doesn’t lie.
The sad thing is Coach Tomlin doesn’t seem to want to help himself, it’s like I’m doing just fine as is……..
Salute the nation
one of you is spewing BS and it is not Stryker
and why do you think anyone got mad at you?
no one cares enough about your opinion to give a **** if you disagree
I hear what you're saying, just a few points about drafting a new franchise QB.
Unless you're the Browns, you don't change HCs and/or GM at the start of their careers. A big change can alter their development. Ben at least had 3 years to develop with Cowher before he left and Tomlin took over, but it was Cowher's decision to retire, so I understand what he needed to do for his family.
Now on the other side, if the steelers end up with 4, 5, 6 win seasons over the next 3 years and Kenny is a failure, I do think the Rooneys would look to move on from Tomlin. I know Noll had better records, but he was aging and not relating to the new players. It was time to get on with his life's work, and if we have some bad seasons with KP and a great D already built, it would be time for Tomlin to get on with his life's work as well.
I think here in lies the divide between the Tomlin supporter and those who have seen enough. 4,5,6 win seasons. How about another 8 or 9 next year? Because next year is another watershed moment. If they are satisfied with 9 wins they will be re-upping him for another 3. And they seem to have no willingness to fire people mid contract. I think a lot of you are drinking the Kool-Aid the Deuce is mixing here. Which is if the team has as many wins as losses they are contending. No they are not. They had that faux contending year with the 11 wins only to get embarrassed by the Browns. Besides that you would have to go back to the Jacksonville debacle to a date I would say I thought they could legit challenge for a Super Bowl.
I think many of you are satisfied with just enough happy Sundays that take the edge off everyday life. You really live in the fear of becoming the Browns or the Lions. Some of us have seen this movie enough and want more.
I’d put up with one or two 4,5,6 win seasons if it got us some higher draft picks that we could get back and win some playoff games with. But the new standard seems to be simply an over .500 record and playoff wins and Super Bowls don’t matter.
My fear is that Tomlin’s ego has taken over, he hears the talk that he won his Super Bowl with Cowher’s team and gawdammit he’s going to show people that he can do it on his own and if he has to coach until he’s 90 effing years old then by God that’s what he’ll do. Like Captain Ahab chasing the great white whale.

Totally agree. And he fits like a glove for the Deuce. Enough wins to keep the register ringing.
It’ll take a while to run through the 20 year waiting list for season tickets. Even if you see empty seats, they’re paid for, so WTF?
Agree but there is definitely a lot of side $ involved in the team doing good enough.
I also firmly believe that The Deuce and to some extent Tomlin believe the masses are stupid and he knows better until it basically becomes impossibly clear and it is never done at a time where he would appear to be giving into the fans mounting pressure. But neither of you or I believe this team is winning another title with Tomlin. so at some point its going to be well that was about 10-12 wasted years.

There was a talking point on the radio tonight about the Steelers record with and without TJ Watt and basically that they just ask him to do too much. This goes back to Tomlin is great winning with superstars. He knows how to maximize their value. The problem is when they are out, "next man up" doesn't work as well because the scheme isn't there. Yes, it's good enough to play around .500 football, but not enough to do anything more. The Steelers need to get more out of their middle class players like they used to. Guys like Von Oelhoffen, Keisel, Townsend, Foote, Foster, etc. weren't elite players but they stepped up their game and were key pieces on very good teams. We don't have much of that anymore.
When do we get to see some of that? I think the substandard standard is just missing the playoffs or 1 and done. Hell even with the one and done they are embarrassing more often than not.
