he may not be the greatest coach in the league, but he is a good teacher/speaker
It is a good point about things being much different in today's society. Tomlin has "embraced" today's culture and players for the most part love to play for him. I am perfectly fine with Tomlin being the coach if he would just hire competent assistants and let them do their job.Excellent find Coolie.
Let's ask our brethren (and ladies) if Coach Cowher or Noll where the "greatest coaches" in the league???
I love them all and Coach Noll is still hands down my favorite because of the results he provided during his tenure. Coach Tomlin is an inch behind because of the difficulty of coaching in the new NFL is 180 degrees different then the Coach Noll era.

I am hoping that is the course with the new OC. I would think being a successful OC and a former head coach Tommy would let him do his job.

Until they get here that is. Then they do whatever is necessary to get out. Why? Usually they were told one thing and something else happens but this is the NFL I am told. Lying is part of coaching apparently. So really you have to put Tomlin top 5? Maybe top 3?It is a good point about things being much different in today's society.

Noll had to deal with some crazy situations. I am not sure I can say Tomlin had it more difficult…Tomlin has to deal with children and many outside distractions that Noll never had to.
I have said it before , and still stand by it, Tomlin seems to be an excellent creator of men and a person to aspire to. With that being said, he is a below average X’s & O’s coach who refuses to admit this, and holds him back. I believe that if he were to surround himself with the best X’s & O’s people, and allow them to do their thing without “micromanaging” he COULD be one of the best. He doesn’t, so he isn’t.
Oh yeah he did Slash.Noll had to deal with some crazy situations. I am not sure I can say Tomlin had it more difficult…

The Raiders and Steelers ended up in court when Noll called the Raiders the criminal element after a game that Lynn Swann got closelined after a play was over and knocked him out.Noll had to deal with some crazy situations. I am not sure I can say Tomlin had it more difficult…

This is true, but I was making reference to immature entitled kids leaving college early and all the social media BSNoll had to deal with some crazy situations. I am not sure I can say Tomlin had it more difficult…

He’ll never jump that hurdle of his ego again, the hurdle has grown too tallTomlin has to deal with children and many outside distractions that Noll never had to.
