Honestly I don't know if his Tomlinisms will age very well on TV. It has a shelf life.

I know the first couple years I was blown away then when things started going sideways I didn't even want to hear him talk.

I don’t know man. I believe Tomlins rhetoric has long lasting power with the mainstream media.
 
I don't think he takes a team right away. I think he waits until the Steelers no longer own his rights. Maybe sit out a year or do a TV gig.

His agent, unlike Harbage's, has not leaked that he got 7 calls in the first 45 minutes after getting dumped.

The difference is that Harbs was fired so he can look for another job.
The Stillers still have Shades’ rights for another year since he resigned.

Obviously, and things of that nature, globally speaking.
 
Dear lo

I think there are some good options for him out there

New York (Giants) are basically owned by the same family as the Rooneys... they are married into each other ... they have a young QB Tomlin really liked

Miami's QB situation is more tenuous, but its warm and the team has talent

Atlanta is warm and probably closest to playoff ready outside of Baltimore


I dont think he will go to the three bottom feeder teams, and I dont think he stats in the division

I honestly think there are two teams that really could be interested that arent out of a HC yet

Tampa is the top pick... QB in place, just gutted the coaching staff and not thrilled with the HC plus he has history there

Green Bay is a cold weather team, but they are loaded and they are flirting with getting a different coach... likely a defensive guy if they did switch

Lastly if the Bills dont make it to the SB, fellow W&M guy McDermott may be out.. abd Allen fits the big ben mold for Tomlin

Dear Lord I would not wish that on Buffalo. McDermott ***** all over Mike and that move would be 10 steps back!
 
No team is going to buy his rights from the Steelers and turn around and pay him 20 million for the year. I think he will have some type of TV deal, but I keep seeing Fox Sports as his landing spot, watching him and Bradshaw on the same set could be comedy gold.
 
He’s going to Tampa

I don’t think he will go to a bad team because I honestly don’t think he’s good enough to rebuild a team.

I don’t think his ego will allow him to not have that no losing season talking point taken away.
 
Has anyone addressed the elephant in the room?

There is something strange going on with the way he just disappeared. I mean for him not to give a PC the way Cowher did and out of his own mouth thank the Rooneys, the fans, etc. after almost 20 years is nuts.

Rooney indicated it was family, players in the meeting said it was because he couldn't get it done, then his personal spokesperson Jay Glazer said Tomlin was basically the one supporting the entire organization. Based on this, I'm guessing he didn't feel appreciated being pushed out and didn't want to shoulder the blame for going nearly a decade without winning a playoff game. I don't think it's a big deal either way and hope he's enjoying his time away from football.

I actually hope he coaches next year, we could use an extra draft pick.
 
I think he takes the 2026 season off from football and just stays away from the game.
2027 could see his return but it must be to a team that has a solid roster and with a young franchise QB.
Could it be the team formerly known as the Redskins?
Good young franchise QB, pretty solid roster, and if they don’t do well in 2026 would most likely be willing to move away from the Mighty Dan Quinn.
Tomlin afterall is from Virginia. We shall see!

Does he ? We’ve been told s many times he would be hired in 5 minutes if he ever left here,…… that doesn’t make it true.

If you repeat something enough, it doesn’t mean it will happen.

I haven’t heard any scuttlebutt about him being hired / interviewed / associated with any particular team(s) yet.

I’m just playing devil’s advocate, but the rest of the NFL has seen his plate and not all want his left-overs.

He would have been hired already if had wanted it. He shut it down. Calls were made.

I hear you and I agree it's not that big of a deal. I just find it odd for someone who loves to talk, to just ghost everyone. Here is his chance to use some flowery language and give an exit speech for the ages...poof...gone

It can only be as you said; he's butt hurt because we didn't appreciate the Tomlinships, or he's running from something that will soon be exposed.
