Speaking of running his course, any updates from our leader as to whether he plans to go with Rudolph or Haskins and which mediocre, internal coordinator he intends to promote to DC this year? Oh .. and that Canada offense. Yeah. That should be something.
I know I am. You could get an Adam Gase. Or Matt Nagy. You could get them instead of the great coach, whoever that is, that you all seem to be so sure would replace Tomlin.
He has not at all proven to be ineffective. That's bullshit. He has been very effective in keeping them competitive and in the hunt. He isn't winning championships, which is the standard around here. The standard is more than just effective.
Yes, he has been effective. That is different than winning championships. But he has effectively kept them competitive and in the hunt year after year. That is just a fact. We want championships here, though. And again, he was the coach of a team that two years prior to '08 went 8-8 with Cowher. It is, was and always will be a lousy argument. It takes no thought, because it is unprovable one way or the other. So it is easy for idiots to make. Would have they won again with Cowher at the helm? Maybe, but you don't know that. I know they won with Tomlin. Stop with the childish ****.
Tomlin was present for the SB. They didn't win the SB because of Tomlin. And there won't be anything catching fire here because the players and coordinators that masked his deficiencies and incompetence are now gone. Good luck with dopey, Canada's offense, and one of our should be 3rd stringers throwing the ball next season. Unfortunately, after the 2022 season, you won't be able to use "in the hunt" and Tomlin in the same sentence.
Nowhere did I ever say the team won BECAUSE of Tomlin. Teams win because the players play well. He was the coach when they won because those players played well. He deserves the credit for being the coach when they won. It really isn't that complex.
You’ve run your course with this new identity Bob. Time for timeout from Coolie or Lunar. If your stepping Slash has first dibs already.
Backdoor Butternut-ZaBobBeatch gets more obvious after each reincarnation. If he really wants to get a chuckle he should come back with some version of the names we tag him with. He won't bring much humor beyond that. But at least there will be that.
Doubt he’s smart enough to do that.
I'm not trying to be an ***, but I think this is important. Language matters. Tomlin has been effective throughout his career. The end results are he keeps the team competitive and in the hunt. We all want more than effective. If they replace Tomlin and we get more effective, here we will be, grumbling. Maybe about different stuff, but grumbling nonetheless.
Remove Belichick’s record from 2002 - 2007 (Spygate), through 2013 (Injury Report falsification) to 2015 (Deflategate and Headset snafu) and Spygate 2 in 2020 with the Bengals, you wonder how many times he tried to win without some form of rules circumvention. He wasn’t as successful in CLE. So it makes you wonder.
You know, at some point other teams gotta quit bitching about what he does and do something back to him. Take it as a given and be proactive. Turn off the hot water in the showers in the visitors locker room. Make sure that for some reason a fireworks display goes off at 4am outside their hotel room. I don't know. Get creative.
LOL….I remember that game… AFC Championship in January 76. The tarp tore in the middle the night before and the heating units didn’t reach the sidelines/back endzones. Both teams suffered. My uncle told me it was so friggin cold that day and none of the WRs were getting anywhere outside the numbers. as it was a virtual ice sheet. Both teams were trying to compensate by throwing inside and in crossing patterns. From what I can remember didn’t Swann get almost decapitated that game too. He almost didn’t make the SB. Played with a concussion.
Is any of that necessary now? They have came back to earth lady left and Ernie Adams retired. I think Bill is just what he always was a good coach who had a good QB made great by cheating. Now he is back to being good again. He will ride that out to retirement. I have two dinners planned one when bill-acheat retires and one when lady retires. As far as the Steelers they are all only held back now by the Steelers and their repetitive bad decisions. Buckle in a bumpy ride ahead.
Yep. Rozelle said to Davis it's the same for both teams, which pissed Davis off. He said Rozelle didn't know what he was talking about, the Raiders are a sideline team and blah, blah. Haha. **** 'em. I still hate the Raiders.
You are comparing an inanimate object to a group of people. This is more like you walked into a successful business and while all the staff was there it continued its success. But you wanted to put your stamp on it so you brought in your people. And while the business is still successful it has not reached the heights it had when you took over.
I'm not underestimating anything. I keep it simple. Tomlin was the coach when they won it in '08 pure and simple. He deserves credit for that with nothing attached to it.
He won a SB. He is in very select company there is no denying that but after damn near 15 years that and a ham sandwich will get you **** all. And if you feel like he is somehow close to another I have some magic beans for sale on Amazon.
