shut up already, you have bigger problems than race baiting.

He said on pregame show that people calling him a "players coach" is an insult to his age and his race. And he's sick of it.

I was wondering who would be the first to take the bait. It is what it is and if that's the way he feels that's the way he feels. His feelings on the matter have absolutely nothing to do with football anyway.
 
He's the hc of the team this board is all about..of course its football related. good lord
 
His feelings on the issue of race playing a factor into his being perceived as a "player's coach" are not related to how well the team will be prepared, or the Xs and Os that will be employed. That's what I'm worried about. Not whether he likes being called a player's coach or whether he feels that race plays a part in that perception.
If he took a **** at 10 am this morning, he would have been the HC of the team that this board is all about at that time. Does that make his crap football related?
 
His blown 4th quarter leads are an embarrassment to Steeler Nation...now shut up and couch Mr Epps!
 
Well, you got "their" attention now, Mr. T.
 
Cowher was called a players coach.... don't remember him bitching about it.

Well considering that that's about the only good thing a lot of people can say about his coaching skills, he should be happy with it.

i was going to mention that myself and that he is white and from pittsburgh. i think tomlin has heard the "affirmitive action" comments some have been whispering. combine that with the racial tension in the country right now with the Brown shooting and all, and i can see him running to the race card.

it's not raacism it's just he is a mediocore coach at best. he won a SB with an established veteran team and now that has faded and we are all seeing what we really have in mIke. that's all, IMO.

Of course leave it a minority moron to play the G'damn race card! UNREAL!!! Why doesn't he hire Al Sharpton & Jessie Jackson as his personal spokesperson for his post game!

Nothing against African American people but they have every advantage vs Caucasian people in today's society not just professional sports...they have grants and special programs for minorities. IMO Caucasian people are the most discriminated race in America today!

STFU Tomlin!
 
**** everything Tomlin. Hey cool shades the reason you will hold your job as long as will is because you're black.
 
He should just be happy he's called a coach at all.

How ******* hard is it to instruct your players to get back to the huddle after they make a play? I love Bell but he is turning into AB with all this celebrating a first down bullshit. Act like you been there before.

Hey now...you cant say that kinda stuff, especially if your white.
 
**** you Tomlin. "We are an undisciplined group" in the presser. Yeah, no ****. That's why you are called a "player's coach". It has nothing to do with your race or age. Loser.
 
Think about it: It was a couple hours prior to kick off and THAT is what was weighing on his mind?

Holy ******* ****!

No wonder the focus, discipline, tenacity of his teams waver so much from week to week. The guy doesn't seem to be focused himself.
 
He may be incredibly stupid...or maybe he sees how the media sides with **** like that and he's trying to cover his ***.

Good point. Looks like he is trying to find cover for what he knows is going to be a difficult season. Playing the race card will keep ESPN and the media off his ***. They've now been reminded that he is a black man so back off.
 
According to Coach Cliche, now being critical of him is "kinda racist"

He doesn't like being called a players coach because it's "kinda racist". He's whining because Lebeau isn't called a players coach because he's "an old white guy". F YOU TOMLIN! You're an ******* who doesn't know how to do his job, now you're going to pull the race card? I've had it with his BS!

I wasn't sure about the rules regarding what we could link or not, I read this on pro football talk. Sorry if it was already addressed in another thread, I didn't see it.
 
So how long have you been a racist?

And are you sure Tomlin did not simply refer to Ben as being "kind of a rapist"?
 
He sure didn't mind using the Rooney Rule to apply much less receive a job his poor resume did not warrant now did he ?
 
Thanks for merging mine into this thread.
 
he's just getting his excuse in early for when he's fired. it won't be because he's a **** coach, but instead, because he's a **** black coach. wow. i often questioned him, but i at least respected him...until now.
 
It's when you know you're in over your head that you have to resort to **** like this

I don't necessarily blame him for THINKING it, because I do think a lot of the fans who hate him have racial reasons as part of it, but you can't say it out loud. It just sounds like you're grasping at straws trying to deflect blame
