We need a new Head Coach.......FIRE TOMLIN NOW!!!

Not open for further replies.
As I stated in the other thread. I have never been one to call for a head coach's firing, but after the second half of last week and the performance tonight I can't continue to support him. I love DL, LOVE him. But this Defense use to scare people. NOW? Now you got Brian Hoyer tearing you up. Just not working. Getting old.

Yes, I'm over supporting him as well. ******* ridiculous.
 
I personally wanted Wisenhunt but I guess since we created the Rooney Rule we needed to hire a minority coach so Rooney didn't look like a hypocrite.

Anyone remember what Jimmy the Greek once said?

Oh yeah because Wisenhunt is doing a great job as head coach of .......... Oh yeah that's right he got fired as coach of the Arizona
Cardinals 2 years ago. Criticize Tomlin as a coach all you want but stop with the Rooney Rule crap because if that were true half
the coaches in the league would be black.
 
Whisenhut took the Cards , the Cards, yes the Cards to the Super Bowl, think Tomlin could have done that, LMFAO.

In fairness to Whiz, he won his first game as Titties coach with Jake Locker at the helm, on the road at KC:cool:

KC's season will be over before Pittsburgh. That's not saying anything. Look at KC's next 5 games and the roster they
have now.
 
LMFAO, a stacked Steeler team thanks to Cowher and a once in a lifetime play by Harrison kept Tomlin from getting beat after the Cards made adjustments st half time snd dominated us in the 2nd Tomlin is a poor man's Barry Switzer, a con man deluxe..

By the way, since we have a smiley with sunglasses in our smiley collection for board use, any chance someone can add a beard to it?

If he can get the team into the playoffs we give Mr Tomlin one more season. If not he has to go.
 
Finally people are starting to see the light, Tomlin is a fraud who has NO concept of in-game adjustments, time management, play calling, or any other facet of coaching other than trying to look cool and yelling "Let's Go!". He's pathetic. We need to clean house. Entirely new coaching staff, new front office, cut Taylor and Gilbert (why in God's name did we extend that tub of lard?).

This I can agree with. All the other nonsense like quotas and Rooney rules I can't give the time of day.
 
Bullshit , Steeler ball is alive and well in Seattle and San Fransisco but then they have great head coaches not the sorry piece of **** we employ to look stupid on our sideline.

Bullshit. I call that horseshit ball with horseshit rules who don't get flagged for ****. It's dead for the Steelers for sure. No coach needed

Why do Seattle and San Francisco get calls nobody else does? And why does the league favor the Seahawks and 49ers but fining them and keep suspending all of their players?
 
Pieces of 8 gentlemen....pieces of 8. even a parrot knew what our record would be this year.
 
The FGs are driving me goddamned insane. The punt in the fourth almost made me chuckle; Tomlin's decision-making is actually cartoonish.

Those issues are the very tip of the iceberg. He is in over his head.

to me is pretty evident from at least 4 years , is clearly cluelesss
 
I'm not sure why this is so complicated, the more players that leave that were drafted before Tomlin the worse we get.
Compare the starting line-up of our 2008 team to what we have now, has Tomlin improved one group from then? Hell has he improved one position from then? DE's-no, NT-hell no, any of LB positions-no, DB's no, 2 of the 4 are still there, and one is your best player still. QB-same, WR's no, TE-same, C and RG-i think we are better now.
 
I actually posted a couple of days ago that I thought Tomlin was a decent (good) coach and that he had some "wriggle" room due to past success, but it's time to start showing it now, as in next week in Carolina. Last night was pathetic. Calling for a coach to be fired this early is giving up, and I don't give up, but at the end of the season anything less than the playoffs (PLAYOFFS???) should lead to his dismissal. Our "standard" any more is .. what?
 
I don't even like Tomlin or his approach; however, do you really think we have the talent on the OL or the DL to be a serious contender? Does it really matter who coaches our OL or DL? They were handled like children by the Ravens.

Regardless of coaching, this team lacks the talent to play with the elite and I am concerned that our talent level is more on par with the bottom 1/3 of the league.
 
I'm willing to give Tomlin this season and this season alone to right this sinking ship. If there's no improvement, then the coaching staff needs overhauled. No ifs, ands or buts. Dick is a legend, but other teams are doing just fine against our "complicated defense". They have found the holes and are exposing them with ease. I like Tomlin, but there has to be a change and a big shake-up to get this team back to compete with BAL and CIN, and right now, we are not even close.
The offense is a cluster. If you double AB, put a man on Heath, Ben has his check down RB or Wheaton. Pretty easy game plan for a defense. Three yards and a cloud of dust. We need Bryant to catch on quick and Moore to unlock himself from the whirlpool tub. The OL and DL got manhandled last night. Their rookie center was pushing McClendon and Thomas up and down the field. Just a miserable game to watch.

I agree with the talent thing, but do honestly believe Tomlin doesn't have a huge say in our drafts? The type of players we draft instantly changed when Tomlin became HC.

Everybody thought we did during the off season. Remember how great the OL was going to be because of our new OL coach? Remember how the OL was going to dominant because of the "new" ZBS?
 
Tomlin isn't going anywhere. The Rooney's stuck with Cowher when we weren't winning, they will do the same with Tomlin. Yes, Cowher did not have a great QB like Ben but last night Ben looked like a back up out there playing. A lot like the patriots, we are as good as our QB is.. Patriots got their *** handed to them last week, why? Because Brady isn't as good as he once was. Ben will bounce back and he will play better the more reps he gets with the WRs. The defense sucked but they were on the field most of the game cause the offense couldn't sustain a drive. I'm not a huge Tomlin supporter, this is just how I see it.
 
Coaches look good or bad by the players they coach...don't care how good a coach, if his players don't have talent they arent gonna win. Now when the coach has been around awhile and has had a hand in picking those bad players he needs to be gone..It is pretty damn obvious BC was the driving force behind picking players..Colbert didn't just forget how to pick players...he never could ...which is obvious now cause Tomlin cant either ..
