One prominent Steeler happy with Tomlin's resignation

SteelBuckeye said:
Definitely wasn't TJ ...
“No,” star outside linebacker T.J. Watt said, sitting next to fellow defensive veterans Cameron Heyward and Alex Highsmith.

“No. No. No. No. No,” he kept repeating over and over, his eyes welling with tears as Tomlin continued his speech.

Taken from an article written for The Athletic by Mike DeFabo about how the Steelers players were upset with the coordinators, not the HC and their response to him telling them he was stepping down.

I heard this too. What they all have to realize is the coordinates and positional coaches are the HC. His inability to get good ones is on him. Unless there is something I don't know about the Steelers and their hiring. Ive heard they are cheap on the volume of the help. Ive never heard they are cheap on the individuals or they overly meddled.

Tomlin was one of the highest paid head coaches in the NFL. I find it very hard to believe if he asked for 3 more assistant positional coaches that ARII was going to say no. I suppose I never understood saying that Rooney was cheap when it came to coaches when at the same time fans were blaming Tomlin for not hiring quality coaches. Maybe he didn't want a big staff.

In my opinion, he needs to change something because he is getting handled one v one a lot anymore.

AND


By not ‘premier” OTs. It’s getting easier and easier.

I’m willing to bet the new coach shines his play to better than the tomlin regime did.




Salute the nation

I think maybe more of a more / better sub-coaches in a trying to get the tomlin to rise up.

As a fan, I wanted anything to boost the tomlin, because quite frankly he wasn’t getting it done as was.




Salute the nation

If you go back a couple years, the only team with a smaller coaching staff than the Steelers was Belicheat's Patriots.
It would seem that a team's success doesn't depend on the number of assistant coaches they have.
And yes I know Belicheat doesn't have much of a coaching tree either but he does have a bunch of SB rings.
Shades' tendency was to only hire assistants that either he knew or worked with before. It makes me think that he wants things his way and doesn't want to be challenged with new ideas. He would also keep assistants who weren't very good at their jobs, he seems to be the type that doesn't like to hire new people. Keeping someone who sucks at their job is preferable to going through the hassle of hiring someone new. We've probably all worked for someone like that.
 
This is a place for Steelers supporters.
Tomlin supporters may enjoy following him to his next place.
