You dumb ******* idiots coaching this team

[Chicoman]

Obviously!

excellent post turbo pig. I'm sick of hearing people ***** about Hailey, not that I would care if he was gone, but after everyone complaining about us throwing so much last week. we come out and run the ball 22 of our first 26 plays and 3 straight from the 5 yard line, and they all looked like the same play. That was an obvious **** you from Tomlin to the fans/media. He's a stubborn idiot. This offense looks exactly the same as it did when BA was here, has to point, we dont use plays to set up other plays, a ton of bubble screens.

This is MIKE TOMLINS ****** offense, not Hailey's, it wasn't Arians offense, so bitching about the OC is pointless, the OC is the douche trying to look bad *** on the sideline in his long sleeve black shirt and aviators.

 

[SteelChip]

Hell of a first post, can't argue a lot with the premise but you sure could use a class on the written word and "streelers" related stuff is usually posted in the football section.

 

[Spike]

It's the OC calling the plays on offense - not Tomlin - any 6th grader knows that.

no

the Rooney's will never fire Tomlin

ever

 

[blitzburghv5]

I said that two years ago and the stubborn Steelers refuse to face the fact they ****** up


Ignore your best WR and waste drive after drive throwing to that weak **** soup of Wheaton

Steelers need to go out and get a real #2 WR pronto

Lighten up on Wheaton bro............he had a bad game, ran a couple bad routes but hes proving his worth now. Hes proving to have better hands than most wideouts in the league. He and Ben arent on the same page..........timin is all ****** up and i hope he and all his receivers and tight ends dedicate some extra time before/during/after practice to work this **** out.

 

[FordFairLane]

I'm all for firing Haley right now and letting Ben call the plays from here on out.

Ding, Ding, Ding. Fire Haley NOW. Have Munchak be the OC technically but in reality just let Ben go no huddle for four quarters. In December fire Tomlin so we can get a head start on the top coaching talent. Hours after the last game fire Colbert. Let new GM, head coach, and Ben decide on coaching staff and that is if you plan on keeping Ben here for the next 5 years. If you are going to move on from Ben trade him and be done with it.

 

[ddively123]

OC must go and Tomlin too!

Haley has got to go and Tomlin who has been riding the coattails of Coach Cowher should be right behind!! Haley disrupted everything the Steelers are about. I have been a Steelers fan all my life and have never been as ashamed of my team as I was yesterday!!

Get rid of Haley and Tomlin!!

I'm glad we have a new thread for this.

Heres the problem Spike.....Tomlin does leave a lot to be desired.....i agree, but we have to be careful in making changes so abruptly because if you bring in another head coach and staff and we see the same results OR WORSE with this team after 3-4 yrs, then what ? Fire the next guy ?..........and then Ben retires and we have to find a new signal caller and go thru a few 4-12 or 5-11 seasons (cuz you have to have a good QB to win these days), do you fire THAT GUY too ? Then, who do we look like ? Browns, Chiefs, Dolphins, Bills.........all goin thru coaches every few years.

I just dont know WHO out there we can find to replace him to turn this thing around. There are no guarantees but lots of unknowns

 

[Idioteque]

And again....Cortez Allen cant cover anybody. Great signing.

How dare you?!?!?!?!?

What top coaching talent would that be ?.......throw some names out there that you KNOW would turn this thing around in 3 yrs.

 

[Steelerfan]

Glad we have a separate thread for this. The other 100 threads criticizing the coaches weren't enough for me.

 

[Idioteque]

Are you claiming there's no coaching talent out there? Tomlin is our best/only option?

Not to speak for Ford, but we go through this dance a LOT.. someone mentions firing Tomlin, someone else indignantly demands an impromptu list of coaches to replace him with, the original poster provides a handful of names, then the subject dies with nobody responding to any ideas or names. What's the point? I think Ford and many of us are calling for the Steelers to evaluate potential new coaching options; what's the point behind demanding a list from a bunch of fans? And if Ford does give yet another list of possible names, what will you do with it?

Why are you so afraid of change?

8-8 must seem perfectly safe and comfy for you that only care about appearances.

We are the Browns - and they just beat us with our cast off QB- so how low do you want to go?

You're damn right I want changes.

 

[BAS]

Tomlin will not come under fire until the talking heads at NFL Network, NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN etc. start calling him out for being a failure as a head coach.

Last I heard, they all still praise him as a good coach who led the team to 2 Super Bowls with 1 win.

I KNOW Tomlin is not the man to turn this around in 3 years

 

[Steelerfan]

Here's the new tag line: "Anyone but Tomlin!!"

 

[Steeltime]

I KNOW Tomlin is not the man to turn this around in 3 years

How can you say that???

Look how quickly he turned the team around from 2011 to 2014!! Once a proud team not satisfied with merely getting to the playoffs, to a terrible, unfocused, undisciplined, rudderless joke of a franchise.

So he turned the team around so that ... Oh, I get your point. You mean a turnaround in a positive direction.

Never mind.

 

[MT~Forged]

This day and age, the fans have a SHITLOAD of options to call out the team mgmt. The problem is that the fans will not do it. The Steelers are a BUSINESS for these owners, until they feel the picnh finacially, they have ZERO incentive to do anything about it.

Im not afraid of change..........but ..i see what impatience and change due to impatience can lead towards. Theres a handful of franchises that have patient owners in this league.....NE, NYG, Carolina, GB, PHI, BALT and Pitt...........all have either been to the SB or won a SB. Teams that change coaches frequently are WAS, CLE, DET, KC, MIA, OAK, MIN and TB...........none (w the exception of TB under Gruden) are even close and each time they change regimes they take a step backwards. These franchises cant attract the big names (coaching)..........so after a couple yrs, they fire the coach and replace him. .......................only to become impatient and fire THAT coach.

All im sayin is if youre gonna fire the current head coach, you had better find a sure fit HC that you KNOW can turn it around else youre gonna be dealin with this same BS in 3 yrs. This Win now or Fire Tomorrow mentality is the reason theres so many bad teams---teams worse than what we are currently.

The Rooney do things the Old way..........

If you owned a franchise, would you allow an emotional fanbase dictate how you ran your franchise ? Youd let 4.2 million jersey-wearing, beer-swiggin, armchair GMs influence decisions in your stable ? Owners hire "football" minds, not fans. Fans will run your **** into the ground and shrug when it becomes an uber failure 20x over.

See, herein lies the problem: Some of us (as diehard but objective fans) have anticipated and now witnessed Tomlin run this team into the ground. Your statement of the once-proud Steelers becoming unfocused, undisciplined, and rudderless is exactly right. However, this franchise won't become a "joke" until its record is equivalent as such. Like BAS mentioned, the greater public perception is that Tomlin is a good, Super Bowl-winning coach. The only thing that is going to change that view, and sway a move by ownership, is a terrible record for a season, or two. And, unfortunately, the team has just enough playmakers to muster 6, 7, or even 8 wins against an easy schedule this year. 6-10 after never posting a losing season is not going to be enough for the Rooneys to fire a guy around whom they fortifed their own rule.

Unfortunately, we're going to be stuck with Tomlin for a while.

I would say that Tomlin will be here for the remainder of Ben's career. A terrible waste.
