Press Conference

[mdk2]

So Tomlin is just going to walk out and the only thing he has to say is an AI generated statement on social media? Talk about being a coward. No sports “analysts”, no former coaches, no players have a problem with this. Belichick was basically fired and he still did a press conference to show his gratitude to the organization and fans. All I hear is how wonderful Tomlin is and he’s the greatest coach ever yet he couldn’t even face the media and fans. He ran the team and organization into the ground and held the organization hostage.

I have absolutely no respect for him unless he does a press conference. He wants to do nothing but talk usually but not now. This dude was the HC 19 seasons and didn’t have the decency to give a press conference. He either isn’t leaving on his own or he has grudge against fans, the owner.. something hurt his ego and it’s clear. There’s more to this. I’ve never seen a HC who’s held so high and treated like a god walk out like this. If he doesn’t end up doing a press conference, he should be labeled a huge coward with a fake persona which I believe is true.

It is rather odd for Mikey T. to exit without a farewell PC.
He’s never been one to be at a loss for words.
Man is that the understatement of the century.
Idk, this is just my opinion and have nothing to support it but I just feel like there is no love lost between Tomlin and the city of Pittsburgh and the local sports media.
After that terrible home beating by the Bills and getting booed and chants of fire Tomlin, something changed.
Anytime after that game he would walk off the field beating his chest and blowing kisses to the fans.
I always took that as a **** you to our fans and the city and an I’ll show you.
Then players saying he wasn’t appreciated by the fans.
I think not giving a farewell PC just puts the exclamation point on it.
Just my thoughts on it!

He found the environment to be toxic this past year or two. Chants and other talk got under his thin skin. He can't stand the heat so he's getting out of the kitchen.

of all the things to ***** about in this world

you choose the lack of a press conference by a guy who is stepping down as head coach of a football team???

as if he would say one damn clear thing anyway, it would be the typical blah blah bullshit

I think he doesn’t want to be asked about what’s being discussed in the other thread.
Allegedly.

 

[xjx]

So I hear you saying that the press would not longer be ******* and ask him about the chick he banged and if they could see the baby pictures.

Yeah, I think it’s a valid question. Someone in an executive position when they leave a business in sports after almost two decades almost always does a press conference especially when they’re supposedly leaving on their own terms.

If you don’t find that weird then you have different standards of integrity and gratitude than me, which is fine. A little pretend statement on social media is the new age I guess and I find it cowardly.

 

[steelcan58]

You have no respect for Tomlin anyways

Well I see your point and agree with you but also see Coolie’s point when he said Tomlin would just blurt out this typical bs.
I just think Tomlin is through with the city and also think he and his family will soon vacate the area.
There’s bitterness there with Tomlin I think. Feels very unappreciated by the city, local media, and fans.

Correctamundo.
Allegedly.

 

[xjx]

He let his entire family down. He hangs his head in shame. Doesn't want to face the press. What a way to close out the chapter. Sour.

The morning show on 93.7 HAS to know about this but they’re not going there.
Only talking about him spending time with his family.
Yeah, his new family.
Allegedly.

 

[DesertSteel]

Let it go

 

[mdk2]

If Tomlin wants to be portrayed as some great leader with high integrity then you face the media and fans like a man. He isn’t who he wanted to be portrayed as, it’s as simple as that. He’s a fraud.

 

[str8liner]

I think it is odd he is going out this way too.

This had all the makings of him announcing his last year, everyone jumping on the farewell Mike bandwagon next year.

Instead plop, seeya! I am out the door and nobody needs to know why?

Something else afoot here. If that rumor is true maybe that is it. If it is true there is no way the media can ignore it forever too.

You’d be surprised what the media can ignore when it doesn’t fit their agendas.

I’m torn on this.

Bill Belichek won Super Bowls and was appreciated. Easy for him to have a press conference.

He probably should, but if Tomlin had a press conference all it would do is give us the opportunity to make a thread bashing him one last time.

That’s the least he could do after a decade of absolute garbage.

 

[str8liner]

Tomlins biggest problem was that he won right off the bat. Only 1 way to go from there is down. And the Bell Brown and Ben era was pretty disappointing overall too.

If he would have made a couple more Super Bowls and maybe won another, it would be a completely different tune I think.

But it didn't happen.

Mike Sullivan suffered the same fate. And he didn't drag on half as long either.

 

[BLITZ]

don't care that he has one or not. he is gone. just ready for change.

I told you those kisses to the crowd was him mooning the crowd. He's a thin-skinned baby that wanted to underperform and for us to like it. F that guy.

Let it go

let what go?

 

[KentuckySteeler]

He said I was racist for wanting Tomlin gone. My first choice for new coach was Marcus Freeman, lol. Him and Bermuda have both said to let it go. They are Tomlin first, Steelers second morons.

He absolutely hated the fanbase for the last few years for daring to question his ways. Same with Calipari. It is what it is.
