Yes, it's everyone's favorite, Madden, but when something is 100% accurate, it doesn't matter who wrote it.
Highlights:
"Tomlin sounded like an idiot when he talked about the Steelers’ lack of physicality and the need to practice in pads. The underlying message: “It’s a man’s game, we need to be tougher, let’s get out there and hit, that’s Steeler football, rah-rah.”
"Tomlin and the Steelers see the NFL as a contest of wills that can be won by subjugating the other team physically and mentally. That might have been true when Chuck Noll was coaching. But this isn’t then, and Tomlin isn’t Noll."
"Today’s NFL is about speed, daring and the ability to execute the latter. It’s about scoring more and faster."
"Tomlin and the Steelers still think you can win via defense and long drives. Tomlin still thinks you can win 17-16. He absolutely will not change his beliefs. Even if Tomlin did, he doesn’t have the coaching acumen to pull it off, nor the quality staff to facilitate. (Nor the personnel. “The Khan artist” doesn’t seem like such a genius right now, does he?)"
"Art Rooney II is 100% on board with Tomlin’s outdated approach. He’s also 100% committed to never firing a coach. Tomlin is in zero danger."
I agree, this is how I view Tomlin and the Steelers and their prehistoric, obsolete philosophy, it might as well be 1975 with these morons.

Mark Madden: The Mike Tomlin error is in full swing, but who will recognize it?
The Mike Tomlin era is long since over. We’re in the middle of the Mike Tomlin error. Tomlin’s reputation is propped up by his overrated streak of no losing seasons. Friendly media, mostly national, use that to obscure Tomlin having no playoff wins in six years and just three in
