I guess they never promised him he would call defense.Dont forget Butler. Butler was the up and comer behind LeBeau. Steelers had to make him promises to keep him around and from leaving to another team.

BNow do the same thing with playoff winning percentage.
This should headline every Tomlin thread.Let me add...
Coach Seasons as Head Coach Seasons with a Playoff Win % of Seasons with a Playoff WinChuck Noll 23 8 35%Bill Cowher 15 8 53%Mike Tomlin 16 4 25%

Canada is a Tomlin guy he willing shielded from fans/ownershipYeah I think there should be transparency about the decision but obviously there will not be. To me if I'm a 16 year head coach and the OC is foisted on me by the owner that's a problem but then again I'm sure Tomlin appreciates the cover Canada will provide.
Yeah got into a friendly argument debate with a friend who likes Tomlin. I said you know whoever wins the SB this season will have the same amount of playoff wins this year as Tomlin since 2010. He thought I made that up.Thanks 448, combined with mine, you can see the coaching ability.

NO, Tomlin is not better than Chuck.

They probably promised Butler a lot of stuff to have him stay. Looks like he got ripped off. By Tomlin? By Rooney?
No hot reads is just pure arrogance by the coordinator “you’re going to do it my way so I‘ll get all the credit!!!“ that’s a real problem not only on the steeler staff but also in the nfl… we pay for tickets to watch players not coaches!! And the ego freaks like tomlin and Canada hate that! Tomlin won’t hire great assistants because they might take away from his glory and Canada is just an out and out boob trying to implement a fake phony college offense in the pros. With the guys we have on the offensive line and a back the size and speed of Harris they should just be able to fall forward and gain yards but of course tomlin and Canada have them running toward the sidelines! I’ve never seen a team run and throw toward the sidelines as much as the Steelers!! Run The old steeler trap how about that?!?! No we can’t do that because it runs toward the goal line!!! Can’t do that!! No we got to sit through Canada’s bullshite! I’m all for keeping Canada as long as tomlin goes out door with him when we do fire him because we will be firing him he’s a total jackass!!
Agree to some degree, But Coach Tomlin is currently here through 24' season. There is talk of a 2 yr. extension, putting him here through 26'.
I think he has taken us as far as he can, while we need new blood, I doubt it will happen soon.
100% agree on O'Canada.

I guess this is the thing. I don’t really feel like joining in the MT bashing thread, but I just can’t help it when I read this type of statement.“we have no hot routes” - translation - > “Matt Canada is a dumb ****”
That's even more ugly considering the garbage Noll and Cowher had at QB for long stretches. Tomlin is very lucky the pieces were all in place because the last 12 years have been Marvin 2.0 with a shiny hood ornament.Thanks 448, combined with mine, you can see the coaching ability.

Thrown in the ownership then also.I guess this is the thing. I don’t really feel like joining in the MT bashing thread, but I just can’t help it when I read this type of statement.
You blame Canada, but where does the buck start and stop? Obviously the head coach would have to sign off on this or instruct it.

4 out of 16 seasons is pretty ugly. Noll managed to win playoff games in 2 of his last 12 seasons and his very improbable playoff wins in Denver and Houston top anything Tomlin has done since 2011.AND
That argument of Cowher’s guys & Tomlin’s guys…….. is narrowed due to the fact that Tomlin’s PO record decreases as Cowher’s guys left.
I don’t care about the argument PRO or CON, just pointing out what has spilled out of the pudding box.

Lol. Bortles4 out of 16 seasons is pretty ugly. Noll managed to win playoff games in 2 of his last 12 seasons and his very improbable playoff wins in Denver and Houston top anything Tomlin has done since 2011.
Heck, even the spirited loss against the Chargers in '82 and in the Orange Bowl in '84 vs All World Marino were way better losses than the humiliations Tomlin suffered at home vs Bortles and Mayfield -- not to mention the play 10 years off the ball suicide pact again at Gillette.
