22-26 over that three season span (his worst span in his career) is only 2 wins off the immortal Mediocre Mike’s standard
Corn Pop was a bad dude.
There is this really important thing called CONTEXT. So my coment was that under Cowher when they had **** teams they rebuilt quickly and effectively and they were contenders. DIC made it sound like they didn't have **** years. They did. But they did not get stuck in Ground Hog day for 6 or 7 years.
Also 6 AFCCG in 14 years (granted he lost 4) where Shades got to 3 in 14, the first two with the team and staff he inherited from Cowher.
And culture.
This is part I don't see how anyone including organization can support Tomlin on. He defines mediocrity is that the Standard?
Deuce looks at every game is sold out and the team is in the playoff hunt almost every year and says business is great.
He’s making his $$$. The Steelers are an established franchise with a familiar iconic logo. They will make $$$ off name and merchandise alone.
Yeah totally get that
People in positions of power often say one thing for public consumption and another thing behind closed doors. It’s up to us to read between the lines.
So he gets a two year extension. Which. Means three on the books. He has Kenny as the ready made excuse. But considering basically everyone is calling Kenny ****.....isn't Tomlin paid to be right. Like he should have been right about Fichtner or Canada or Bush. So assuming we are back here on the new Groundhog day. (Early January) as Steelers are out of playoffs or wildcard loser. When does he get held accountable for his almost double digit 7 figure salary. I get impression if Deuce gives him 3 more he is gonna get it.
Never. He will just retire and move to TV.
Do you think after the three years or maybe after two self imposed hiatus like most of us hoped this year. Not wanting to go through embarrassing contract questions
Probably cut out a year early so he doesn’t have to answer questions and his assistants can look for jobs. Cowher did the same, if you think about it. If it’s known he’s a lame duck then his coaches and players will say **** it more than they already do.
Just checked Webster's, that's the definition of optimism.
Exactly. This was my hope this year. And I enjoyed the little run at the end. Hell I love this team. But it seems that you get the little faint hopes. Take an *** kicking in playoffs and Bill Murray wakes
️ up again. Rinse repeat. But for God sake barring a miracle run most of us don't see coming this has to be last contract.
between an AFCCG in 1997 and 2001 with freaking Kordell Stewart at QB.
That's happened two seasons in a row, all that does is give everyone false hope that we're better than we really are.
QBR.
