Predict the OC saga for the rest of this season

Canada will ride out the season like a captain on a clipper ship.....and get canned at season end. Tomlin will look in every offensive coach scrap heap, college and pro, for someone desperate enough to work under him.
The next OC is already here. Mike Sullivan, the QB coach. Shades only promotes from within and doesn’t like new people.
 
Just a few days ago, i would have said Canada was safe all year. But the media really focused on Canada after that Monday night game. Now they have another national game and if the offense struggles again, I actually think Canada could be in trouble, particularly if Pickett has another bad game.
The more the fans call for Canaduh to be fired, the more Shades will be resolved to keep him.
You’re not the boss of me.
After the season it will be Shades banging his fist on the table in front of Deuce and Khan wanting him back.
 
I actually have two of them, but won’t reveal the year due to future potential trivia question contest.

The LUXURY S10 is covered in so many futuristic parts that if I took the averages of time warps and combined them, then deducted for the short time LUNAR trained in it, I’d say the Actual year of the LUXURY S10 is +or- 2065 Meridian Galactic Star System time. Don’t worry though, it has ZERO emissions as standard operation.

I hit 105 mph in the Ranger yesterday, it was still pulling strong when it hit the speed limiter. Empty stretch of highway with nowhere for cops to hide, couldn’t help myself.
 
What scenario do you see that could put Coach Tomlin under this kind of scrutiny ?

Coach Tomlin will not get released mid season, but could be released end season contract or not. It’s doubtful with his remaining year so there is that.

What would mit take for Art 2 to actually do something other than an out right quit or retirement from Coach Tomlin ?

No chance Tomlin gets fired this year. I think Tomlin only gets fired if the steelers have back to back losing seasons and the prospects don't look good for the 3rd year.

This year will be on Canada. If next year goes south, it will likely be blamed on Pickett. Tomlin's seat is very cool

My thoughts too. Unless Rooney hears our voices and steps in.

I think he will and the fact that won’t have to pay Canaduh any longer will weigh heavily in his decision.
Deuce might be tight with a buck but he doesn’t like to lose or be humiliated. He’s not Bob Nutting for crissakes.

Well the OC's contract is chicken feed compared to what he's shelling out to his players. You'd think he would want to get the most out of his investment by giving them the highest quality coaching.

I seriously think they could sandlot this offense on the fly and produce better.

Tomlin will never be fired. The most that will happen is he will not be given an extension and walks away.

There is a salary cap on players but not coaches. The Steelers routinely spend up to the cap but save money on coaches, with a smaller staff that is paid less than average.
 
My hope is he is gone in the next couple of weeks so KP won't have been completely lost and wasted with him for 2 years. I said it before, this reminds me of the Clowns and how they ruined QB after QB.

My fear is just that and we are stuck with Canaduh for at least this year and they may be dumb enough (since they have already shown how dumb they are) to extend him further.
If he’s back next year my fandom is going to take a serious hit.

Many here forget that if O’Canada is relieved of duty, they promote from within and get the same influenced OC.

Not much changes and the new OC is even less experienced than the O’Canada is.

I predict us fans *****-ing and moaning, piss-ed off to the third degree, and finally some bridge jumpers (fans that jump ship to different team) in protest.

I will remain the Cool, Level headed Nostradamus that I am all the while visiting my SPIRIT world more often. Add in the LUXURY S10 action and free BACON BBQs and life will be complete.

One more thing, I’ll pick up slash and cruise to (the country) Canada and give our friend Paul a ride around his town,….. sort of a parade cruise (It’s been Paul’s dream to just ride in the LS10, so parade route will make it special).

So true DIC

I ain’t jumped ship yet
But this is the hardest this team has ever made me consider it (and I’m a survivor of the 80s product)…it’s one thing to be untalented (seen it) it’s another to be stupid (seen it) it’s a bit much to be swimming in willful ignorance (currently watching-with my other on all them Dawgs and their sweet ride haha)

Those eagles have a pretty nice ride over there with all them Dawgs in it

It's ridiculous not to pay for the best coaches. There's no excuse for that.

It’s ridiculous to keep bad coaches just because they’re under contract too.

Can we bring in someone like Duece Staley

Ya know an outside guy, but a guy who spent time here and always looked good on the sidelines
Probably not. Shades only hires people he knows and/or previously worked with. Only way someone from outside gets hired is if the FO overrules Shades like they did when they hired Haley. If I was betting money I’d say the next OC will be Mike Sullivan because that’s how Shades always does things.
 
I could care less about the non losing seasons. They're not sniffing a championship with the current way things are set up.
I said years ago that they never get to another Super Bowl with Shades as HC.
I didn’t say win, I said get to.
I’ll bet real money with anyone on that.

If he were to suddenly pass away rom Covid, I would say there is a 44% chance Art keeps him as HC until his contract is up
 
Listen, we have an opening at assistant head coach after John Mitchell retired… the Steelers should make an offer to a offensive minded ex head coach or just try to take another top OC and promote him to offensive assistant and assistant head coach….

I love it Ron, I’m actually a FORD man at heart. I just happened across these two S10’s, in life, and the deal was to good to pass up.

The VOICE of reason is empty seats,……………… but that’s a slim hope.

BEN ROETHLISBERGER could.
