I don't think I need to post a link, I'm sure you all heard the rumors. Shades is supposedly telling others he may take 2024 off from coaching. My thoughts are:

1.) Is there truth to it?
2.) Where did these rumors come from? Is he telling others this?
3.) If he is, he's dumber than I thought. Why would he spread such rumors before a playoff game? Why on earth?
4.) If he is behind these rumors, he's merely throwing a hissy fit, angry because fans are finally speaking out against his buffoonery. Grow up. Deal with it.

If there is ANY truth to this, it's from Shades himself, at the worst time, meaning he's even worst than I thought. Go throw a hissy fit somewhere else.
 
post a link or it's just an attention-whoring look-at-me speculation thread.
 
FWIW, there was an article in the PPG today about it. Sounds like Tomlin is aware that he is out of favor with the fans and thinking of maybe taking the last year of his contract off and then being a FA coaching candidate in 2025 instead of trade bait in 2025.
 
If true, maybe the whole sitting Rudolph with Rudolph’s recent success is making him feel inferior on his high draft pick in Kenny at the moment.

Rather than embrace the recent success. He has some type of egotistical thing going on?

If true. Could be just rumors

Yea, I started the rumors for a "Look at me" thread, not because there are indeed rumors of this going around the league. Oh wait, no I didn't. You owe me an apology for making that allegation, you piece of &%$&@! They were just covering this on "Undisputed." I guess they made this up to for a "look at me" subject. You sure look like an __Clown.

No, I made the entire thing up for "attention." There aren't any substance to the rumors, all of it was made up by me, according to a certain a-- clown. The article in PPG must have also been made up by attention seekers as well.

But a question: If he is merely out of coaching in 2024, would that year not count in his contract and would his rights still not be owned by the Steelers in 2025? If he started this rumor, good luck in being perceived as a professional, Shades. Way to go, right before the playoffs. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I need more love! How dare anyone question me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

It would be consistent with the egotistical, megalomaniac type, which many accuse Shades of being.

If I understand what the evening host on The Fan said last night, this coming year wouldn’t count and the Steelers would still own his rights in 2025.
If true, I didn’t know it worked that way.

I wondered the same thing.

Yes same with guys who retire early.. teams own their rights going forward. Idk for how long, but it is boilerplate in contracts I think.

It doesnt matter... all of this is just contract negotiation BS ... Tomlin isnt getting traded or quitting ... he just wants 20 mil a season
 
Does it always have to be something nefarious? Some of you guys are a bunch of women.
You must be new here. Welcome to SN.com.

he owes you nothing

he stated what has been true of this site since the beginning

threads without links are just rumors

and what in any of that hints at your "hissy fit" thread title

Wait, I'm confused. On one hand, you have the mods asking us to hold back on listing links from other sites. OK, I'm trying to comply with those wishes. But now you're saying any assertions without a link are to be considered "look at me, whoring posts." All I did was bring up a legit topic being discussed all around the various media. And I listed 3 links to prove that AND since have seen coverage on various sports talk shows. And as far as my "hissy fit" description, I'm not sure what else you'd call Tomlin threatening to sit out would be. A "calm and professional" reaction?

SF81 doesn't want links to other Steeler fan sites or another site if the story already appears on this site. in other words, check the SN news feed before linking to another source.

which makes sense

If you don't want to post a link or you saw the "story" on TV, then just state that. why didn't you state in your initial thread that they were discussing it on Undisputed?

You keep letting your feelings about Tomlin color your comments

nothing on any of the links you post state "hissy fit" fit or use the term "threatening" you are attempting to make this thread into something it doesn't need to be

we get it, you don't like the coach but to start a thread making acccusations that he is throwing a fit or making threats without anything to support it is bush league

the stories only state that there are some people around the league who think Tomlin could decide to take time off. Not that he is or that they have heard from him

1.) I was trying to follow the wishes of the mods with no links to other sites.
2.) I didn't hear the discussion on "Undisputed" until AFTER I made my initial post.
3.) I posted 3 links where the rumor was discussed afterward.
4.) My views of Tomlin are what they are, same as other posters. We all have our own opinions.
5.) IF Tomlin had given any indication that he "might" take 2024 "off" then I maintain it was a "hissy fit" move and a case of him throwing an unprofessional tantrum.
6.) IF Tomlin never did anything to create this story, then that speaks for itself. IF.
7.) Reporting on this rumor does not make me an "attention seeking *****" as claimed.
