Should Coach Tomlin Return?
- Thread starter WillyDavis33
- Start date
Devin Bush received votes for rookie of the year. He was a good player for a little while.
Stiller fans were squealing when their team was 6-4. Imagine how bad it would have been if they were 4-6.
Yeah I mean he was no complete bust a la Jamarcus Russell or anything, but I think that hindsight says it was a bad move to trade up to get him. Whoever was behind that move--Colbert, Tomlin, both of them, neither of them, I don't know--deserves criticism in my eyes.
it would have been just as loud. they were calling for canada's head, criticizing tomlin, the inefficient offense ran by an inept QB..
all those arguments were valid under both scenarios.
well on a positive note, in Tomlins PC today, he said he will absolutely not be looking at Faulkner or Sullivan as a candidate for OC and will be only looking at external hires.
Hey, that's something at least. one bit of good news

OK Ill bite............the synic in me says hes saying that so when he does retain the two headed OC that he can say he couldnt find anyone better

To qualify, I think he said that he was going to look outside first. I'm paraphrasing but nobody will be surprised when he hires someone on the staff because that's the lazy crap he does.OK Ill bite............the synic in me says hes saying that so when he does retain the two headed OC that he can say he couldnt find anyone better
I believe someone asked him if the two headed OCs were under consideration and I believe he said no not at this time....................... 🤔
Based on who tomlin has hired in the past, I won't hold my breath. His "external" hire will be Byron Leftwich, just watch.
I thought Tomlin said everything he needed to say; frankly, it was one of the most honest pressers I’ve heard from him. Almost seemed a little emotional. I think he’s heard the outside loud and clear and is ready to make some (necessary) changes.
Not only are they going to bring in a quarterback to challenge Kenny and hire an offensive coordinator from outside the organization, but he specifically said he’s reached out to New York about interviewing people, meaning someone they’re interested in is still playoffs. Don’t underestimate Khan and Weidl’s ability to overturn the roster, either.
They just went 10-7 and made the playoffs in the second season of a rebuild. Let’s see what they can do this offseason.

They're paying Tomlin a premium. I find it hard to believe they won't square up and pay coaches.
Yup and Tomlin is not a wall flower. If the Rooneys were restricting his ability to hire staff needed to be successful you know we would have known about it. Not one of his fans in the media has mentioned anything about this

He could easily leverage the salary pool at this point in his career. Walk if they won't pony up.
I hope you aren’t suggesting Roethlisberger was clearly better.
Forgot to mention Peyton Manning of course. Pittsburgh should have beaten them in Colorado in 2015, even with Bell and Brown out due to injury. Some clown fumbled in the fourth quarter

it was a good conference which quite frankly, i didnt know was possible. Loved how straight forward he was about not giving faulkner or Sullivan a look and going external for the OC hire.
joked a bit but admitted he handled walking off about the contract issue, which was good. i didnt think it was that big of a deal. did say he was going to stay and get the extension, we can debate that but again, was open about it.
was very glowing towards Mason which was a shock considering how they treated him the last 1/2 decade. said he believes in Kenny but will bring in competition.
again, alll good stuff
10 wins with a bum staff and JV roster
But sure - Tomlin is the problem .
Stop listening to Madden
cook, poni, starkey, zeise, paul alexander, mueller, pretty much everyone in the local media is screaming about needing to move on from tomlin..
only people supporting tomlin are national guys who are employed by espn and well, we know why the tomlin apology tour is coming from them. oh and the kaboly beat writer types who are basically steeler employees and have to support him..
Bum staff assembled by a bum HC….bums of a feather hang together.
I believe the only way he should return is in every comment, article, interview he is referred to as "Marvin Tomlin" until he wins a playoff game again.
Also likewise morons
It’s a reason they are local media in a small market.
They give the yinzers what they want to hear , exclusively
Who drafted Moore and signed Cole ? Oh yeah that’s right not my fault mediocre mike
That is more of an indication of how good your team is and how good your coaching staff is. Do you think anyone would ever claim Jerome Bettis was better than Barry Sanders, because Sanders never played in a Super Bowl?
Right, and do you remember the offensive line in front of Roethlisberger the year they won the Super Bowl vs Arizona? Look, we can argue all day, Rivers was a real good quarterback, no chance in hell he was better than Ben. BTW I am not comparing Bettis to Sanders, I am comparing Rivers to Roethlisberger.
QB 1
3 Super Bowl appearances
QB 2
ZERO Super Bowl appearances
Bro, go beat the phillip rivers drum somewhere else.
