Tomlin Sucks

[Hypocycloids]

MIKE TOMLIN = THE OFFICIAL DEI hire of the NFL! If he wasn't who he is he would have been FIRED long ago!

Mediocrity at its ZENITH!

But there have been black coaches fired. The one in Chicago…Lovie Dovie, then there was also Hue Jackson, Todd Bowles, Marvin Lewis.

Wow.
Every player on D plus Tomlin needs to read that.

 

[steelhurt]

Why Tomlin gets a pass has been stated a million times….no losing seasons!
McCarthy is on the verge of coaching his second losing season with the Cowboys.

Both Mikes have similar stats in two areas.

McCarthy is in his 18th year as HC. (GB and Dal). He’s 11-11 in the playoffs…..174 total wins 110 losses.
5 losing seasons.
Tomlin in his 18th year as HC. He’s 10-8 in the playoffs…he’s 183 -105 W/L.
0 losing seasons!

I’m just being facetious with all of this.
You have a good point.

You have to remember something here. Most of Tomlin’s playoff wins came very early on. Now from 2011 to present not very good.

I get that. That’s pretty much common knowledge. But I can’t just toss them out because they occurred a long time ago.
I know McCarthy won a playoff game with Dallas. I would have to look at the last time he won one with GB.

Try the same thing and expect different results: insanity. But somehow the franchise keeps at it, so is the objective of the franchise to win a championship or just to be good enough to keep the money flowing?

I'm at point where I can't blame Tomlin anymore, he is who he is and unfortunately that is not enough for our title expectations. So who's left to blame? Those that keeps him at the helm of a ship that's just treading water, Rooneys the bill is on you for the mediocrity of your team.

He beat Tomlin’s *** in the last SB we appeared in.
That game the Packers had a depleted defensive backfield and we couldn’t take advantage of it.
Tomlin’s a fraud and always has been. Mediocre coach and that’s all he is.

Yes but how would it look for the NFL if the organization who pushed for The Rooney Rule....fires Mike Tomlin?

If I could pick what pisses me of the most it's this: (paraphrased)
Q. Mike why is it taking so long for the plays to develop?
A. I wouldn't say that I'm seeeing that.
Now I don't expect the real answer which is we chose to spend out draft shoring up our bigs and linebackers and we don't have enough weapons. And sometimes the qb is not getting the ball out fast enough.
But I do expect him to be able to acknowledge the issue. Because I as an actual JV coach that he seems to mock can see that clearly.
Same with question about Warren's touches in second half. He brushes it off with when you are playing like this no one gets the touches they want. Really. It's quite hard for Warren to get touches from the sideline Mike. Good grief. In the totality Mike you have an amazing bag of ready made clichés and frankly they are pretty good. But you got an empty sack of answers when things start rolling against you because frankly you are a bit of a fraud schematically if you will.

Scott is a stat geek, so I'd assume it's accurate.

 

[bkwheat28]

I want to know what “we own this” means? Is that all I have to say at work when I screw up? I own the bad job I did today sir. See ya tomorrow! We’ll do it again. But I’ll own it so you can feel better.

 

[str8liner]

Yes but how would it look for the NFL if the organization who pushed for The Rooney Rule....fires Mike Tomlin?

I think we are beyond that now after all these years. Early on I would say it was a factor, but overall several black coaches have been hired and fired now.

We just can't get past the one step above mediocrity this guy has down to a science.

They also need to get over this "Coaching stability" crap everyone praises every year.

Who cares about stability if it never yields any championships.

When you play embarrassing football I could care less how many in season games you win.

Rooney is the number 1 problem as he has rewarded the man instead of letting him coach on a hot seat.

Just inexcusable. As was that performance.

He looks like he has lost the team. At the minimum he doesn’t know what he is doing out there.

This team needs a reboot and won’t get one without fans making it known they want one.

Take a page out of the Canes history. They made sure their displeasure was advertised. They paid to have a fire their head coach ads flown over the games.

Since 2011, Conlin is 3-8 in the playoffs, with 4 losses in a row, and counting; we are coming up on year 8 sans a playoff win. The excuse makers like avoiding those facts. And yup, Art needs to accept the blame.

 

[Lloyd]

Well enough time has passed since the whole Rooney rule thing, that should no longer be an issue.

 

[MT~Forged]

Tomlin gets out coached again. What else is new! His game plan is really bad. He is allowing Arthur Smith's (AKA matt Canada 2.0) offence to play like a little team. No changes. T Austin blows as a DC. This is what happens with dei hire. Everyone gets open.

Actually Arthur Smith is running Tomlin Offense 5.0 or 6.0

 

[MT~Forged]

The mission has already been accomplished. The trophy is on the mantle. Who cares about winning December games? Just tune in to all the talking head shows tomorrow when they remind all of us how lucky we are to have never experienced a losing season under Mikey T.

Hell, they even did a skit about it during the game today.

Set down with your family and friends tonight, drink a beer, and savor the fact that we will again be drafting in the middle of the pack this year!

They didn’t lose enough to be picking in the middle, they are picking in the bottom 1/3.

 

[MT~Forged]

5 minutes left in the game… this team gave up. Tomlin mailed it in.
**** him and **** anyone who spends money supporting this bullshit until Tomlin is fired

SECOND week in a row that the HC QUIT ON THE TEAM. Last week, down two scores, 4th down he punts. This week, he did the same exact thing down 3 scores, he punted.

There is no quicker way to lose a locker room than to give up on your team. Giving up is saying your team can’t do it. Worst thing that could have happened was that they failed to convert and they score again. So what, you always continue to find a way to succeed, never give up.

Personally, that would be a fireable offense in my book. To do it twice in a row, I would have walked onto the field and fired him on the spot before the game ended. Let my lawyers argue how that broke his contract, and why I’m not paying.

 

[Steelersfan84]

Tomlin teams are as predictable as Hallmark Christmas movies.

Yes..............but have they ever had a losing season?

 

[MT~Forged]

As DC, my guy lasted two years with the Lions, going from top 5 defense to something much worse, lasted 10 months as DC of the Bengals, giving up over 500 yards in three straight games for the first time in NFL history, and was subsequently hired as Steelers secondary coach and later promoted to DC based on nothing substantial. Guy might be a decent position coach, but he has a track record of failure as a DC in the NFL.

Many people want to move up, as they are taught to believe that if you are not advancing, you are not needed.

I experienced this many times through my career, especially my time in the Military. I can’t tell you how many great E-5’s and E-6’s with incredible troubleshooting and repair skills, as well as years of valuable experience were drummed out of service. The sad part really was, those guys were the ones who knew the systems inside and out. When they were dismissed our Ship’s combat readiness took a serious hit. We were constantly looking for someone to know what the he!! was going on and how to fix it.

There are a large number of coaches in the NFL who are way out over their skis, because they believe they need to always be moving up. Good position coaches are not automatically good coordinators, good coordinators are not automatically good HC’s. Good Head Coaches are definitely not automatically good GM’s. Each job has it’s own required skill set. Just because a person can add like a motherpucker, doest mean you make them head of the Math Department.

Our case in point, they hired an inexperienced young Head Coach who was a less than average DC, a mediocre DB coach and a nothing special previous player. He may very well have interviewed well, could also have been a token DEI hire, or Rooney though he saw something in him. It doesn’t matter, he was showing by year 5-7 he was in over his head.

What this really shows is that Art Rooney2 was WRONG in his assessment, who by the way only got the job because of nepotism, not any real working experience. Dan Rooney ALSO made the mistake of who he turned things over to, but Father Time forced that decision.

 

[MT~Forged]

And to think we let Flores walk for this **** show. Of course, he may have decided he didn’t want Tomlin’s defense hanging around his neck.

Flores was in need of a reclamation position, he got it, and likely saw how things were and took the first train out of town.

 

[MT~Forged]

There were more than a handful of fans calling for Tomlin’s job after the game. He was the top name people were vocally upset with after today.

Yet they will all still show up and hand over their money to the team

 

[MT~Forged]

But there have been black coaches fired. The one in Chicago…Lovie Dovie, then there was also Hue Jackson, Todd Bowles, Marvin Lewis.

Not by the Steelers who created the Rooney Rule

 

[stillwright]

Good that *** hat has gotten filthy rich off of nothing but bullshit talking points. All he can do is spit out useless cliches. In three games we went from a two game lead with four games to go to a wild card team with one game to go and some people are ok with that because we have another non losing season under our belt. I love this damn team but I have about come to my end of watching this **** show.

I went to my sons for Christmas dinner today, we NEVER miss watching a game together, Today he was yelling hey dad the game is about to start when I said yeah I'm busy with Colt Man, (my 5 year old grandson) missed all but the last 30 seconds of the first QTR and couldn't have cared less.

I really am starting to feel like we are turning into a factory of sadness. Looking forward to watching the Lions beat the Bills in the SB.

I went over to my brother for xmas. Knew he didn't have Netflix and enjoyed family time. I peeked at my phone a few times....recieved a few text messages about the game...but honestly didn't miss it.

 

[stillwright]

We are not talking about a political environment and you're the idiot who posted that Tomlin hip hop headline from 12 years ago

Without exception, the Tomlin haters here are clueless self pleasuring dumbshits. The constant ***** asss whining and complaining and heaping blame on the HC is tiresome.

Tomlin gets all the blame and none of the credit from you fagg*ts. You sopping wet vaginas..

Go Fk Yourselves

Credit for what? Non-losing seasons from the start of his career? He is the BESTEST ever at that!!!!! The BESTEST!!!!!!
