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

[SteelBuckeye]

Taylor said he tried to calm down coach Mike Tomlin following the taunting call on cornerback William Gay against the Chiefs that kept the drive alive. It didn't work very well. “I told him he was out of his body,” Taylor said. “It's just a like a father trying to protect his kids. On game days, Coach T is a totally different person. He gets into the matrix as far as calling plays. It (stinks) because I am on the sidelines but just getting the opportunity to watch Coach T just make calls, understand the game, get a feel for the game, it's been nice.”

Make of it what you will. But apparently he isnt standing there showing no emotion or having any input. Who knew?

Apparently he is on the sideline making calls. I don't suppose Ike meant phone calls since the league prohibits this during games. So, he is on the sideline making actual honest to god, X's and O's type, football calls. And we're winning. Now, I guess he could use some lessons in motivation ... but DHB doesn't think so:

Q: Coming into the locker room and complimenting you on doing a little thing well, is that part of it?

DHB: "Yeah. He also lets you know when you don't do well. He's a very honest man, so you try to go out there and prove yourself each and every week."

So, what does Tomlin do well?

1. He builds a pretty darned good offense.
2. He understands the X's and O's well enough that the players see standing next to him on the sidelines as a learning opportunity.
3. He holds his players accountable for mistakes and gives them credit for good play; thus motivating them to perform or prove themselves "each and every week".
4. He's starting to win with "his" players.

Im going to go bump the Archer thread so we have two played out debates that no one is going to change their mind about on the main page during Christmas....

So.....if the Steelers and the Cowboys both make their respective conference championship games, does Garrett or Tomlin get Coach of the Year?

The media has already anointed Arians.

Media just looooves that cute little red hat he likes to wear

One thing about him, he's either a much better HC than he was offensive coordinator .... Or, he's a hell of a con man.

Yeah i could see that, wouldnt shock me. Wouldnt be the first coach to have more success as a head man as opposed to his coordinator work

It would go to the "America's Team" coach. No way the NFL let's a Steelers coach win that award.

yep somehow Arians made the playoffs with a bottom 10 offense and a bottom 10 defense... he knows how to suck in the best way....

Since I think He's still calling his own plays and was at Indy he must not be too bad an OC.

In all fairness, the colts scored adequate points in most games, but he was getting Luck sacked left and right when he was the coordinator in Indianapolis.

Was he getting Luck sacked or was Luck getting Luck sacked because he was still learning to read a defense?

given that their problems pretty much mirrored the problems that Pittsburgh had when Arians was in town, I'll go ahead and chalk it up to Arians' offense

I'll add his starting qb was knocked out in az, one who was experienced and knew how to read a defense better than a rookie by a long shot.

 

[ark steel]

In many important offensive categories, yards/game, yards/play, points/game, red zone%, goal-to-goal %, AZ is ranked no higher than 24th. They are 19th in ToP. They are averaging less than 20 points per game. A low red zone/gtg % could be more easily overlooked if you are still scoring points. They ain't.

Defense is winNing AZ's games. Their D still gives up a lot of yards but points/game, red zone%, they are in the top 4. Gtg, their D is 11th.

I noted in another thread that this is interesting that an HC who is supposed to be offensive minded is winning with D, while our HC who came from the defensive side of the ball is winning with offense.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Arians wasn't a very good OC, while here in pittsburgh. The team (Steelers) won inspite of his bafoonery. What was he doing ofensively when his starting QB (arizona) was still playing? Whats he doing now, with the back up? What is the constant in this equasion? I'm quite confident that the "right" coach left upon his retirement fron the burgh. Besides, Haley is liting it up and to top it off, I think O'l Todd could kick "the bruce's" @ss in a death match.

Arians definitly wouldnt include bell on the offense like Haley has. With that in mind, I think Haley was the right OC for this team

Votes for Coach of the Year are taken at the end of the regular season, so anything that may or may not happen in the playoffs is totally irrelevant.

Garrett will win it based solely on Cowboy bias, and then he'll go one and done in the playoffs.

Taint that the truth. Tomlin isn't seen as a coach of the year candidate, is he? If so, how the heck did that happen. Was he coaching above the line, so to speak?
