But that doesn't mean it has to stay that way forever. Sometimes you should change things up.

Much like Tomlin, Kubiak had little to do with winning the Super Bowl, Kubiak was carried by Peyton Manning, the way Ben carried Tomlin.
Firing Wanny wasn't a bad gamble, it's not like he was great.
So now visualize Tomlin as Fox? A new fresh vision with a franchise QB and a lot of other pieces. Maybe that's the real piece to complete the puzzle?
This is what happens when people just make stats up to reinforce their argument.
The AFC North has sent more teams to the playoffs over the past decade than any other division. They have sent 8 teams to the playoffs as a wildcard, twice as many as every other AFC division.
Cincinnati has made the playoffs 6 times in the last 10 years. The same number of times as the Ravens, Steelers, and Saints. The only 3 teams with more appearances are the Seahawks (7), Packers (8), and Patriots (10).
The AFC North has the 4th highest interdivisional record over the past decade with a 50.5% winning percentage. But no division has more wins outside of their own division when looking at just the top 3 teams from each division.
The AFC North has a very strong argument for being the toughest division in the NFL. Trying to put down the Steelers' regular season success is laughable. Playoffs, that's a different story.
Even if the division was terrible, only New England and New Orleans have a higher interdivisional record than the Steelers over the last decade.
Chuck Noll started with a very bad team, built it up. At the end as the great players got older and retired the team went down a bit.
Bill Cowher got teams into the playoffs far WITHOUT a HOF QB. No one in their right mind will say Kordell and O'Donnell were franchise QBs.
Bill had a franchise QB for only a couple years and went 1-1 in SBs
Tomlin has had a HOF QB his entire tenure and has severely under-performed.
Tomlin needs to go. his record against sub .500 teams is appalling for an allegedly good coach.
The bar has really been lowered by the Steelers.
Now we have a player AB missing work, missing practice, which leads to him missing an important game, he was involved in some kind of incident with Ben on Wed and hasn't returned call from his bosses Tomlin ( the enabler) and Rooney the team owner.
Apparently Tomlin has enabled Brown over the course of a number of seasons and has created this undisciplined monster!
Plus the HC Tomlin made up a story about AB having an injured knee which isn't true which was validated on Th Fan this morning.
My guess is Tomlin made up the X-ray story in Oakland.
Tomlin has lost the Locker Room.
Players not coming to work.
Coaches not discipling players
HC making up stories as to why a star player is missing an important game
The same Star play not communicating with the players, HC, or owner.
The locker room is in Chaos!
The Bar Has Been Lowered!
