Ennjay Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He's not a bad coach but he's not special either -- he's no legend. Seems to me the Steelers are kind of stale and they should have done better most of this year, not just today. Would you rearrange the coaching just to freshen things up? Or leave things as they are and hope for better results next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 They will be drafting a QB. If we don’t take Mason Rudolph at #21 or #22 I can see them trying to replace Big Ben with Rudolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I do not think he is a great coach, but no way should Pittsburgh let him go. The consistency is part of the reason they have been so good for so long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Tomlin will be around for at least another 5 years, he just signed an extension at the beginning of this season. I have family in Pittsburgh, who tell me Tomlin gets questioned in the local media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 With the Talent the Steelers have they should be making deep playoff runs every year. I don't think Tomlin is anything more than a slightly above average HC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, comparing apples to apples in the same era I would prefer Marty Schottenheimer over Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The onside kick decision was horrible. He'll get ripped for that and rightfully so. A kickoff and a 3 and out or close which is far more likely than getting possession with an onside kick gets you the ball with some time still down by only 7. Bonehead call. Absolutely awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 There are a lot of things that go into coaching. I think Tomlin has a lot of them. He certainly seems to have the respect of his players. They'll follow him anywhere. But I've always thought he as a lousy sideline coach. Showed it again today. The onside kick was clearly the wrong call. And when he got to the five he should have kicked the field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Tomlin is a good coach in regard to holding the ship together. Until this year. He has cracked. His bull **** with speaking out against Villeneuva was cowardly. Tomlin needs to get his face slapped so hard for that it knocks the black off his ass. I digress on that specifically but that's when I knew they'd never succeed as much as they should with the talent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasovon Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 It's a tough one because he's won you a superbowl but i think when Ben goes he goes, this could be the end of the Steelers as we know them with Ben retiring, OC leaving and Tomlin leaving too.

Alaska Darin Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The STEELERS won't fire him but they should. He's making the same mistakes he's been making his entire career. Not kicking the FG with 47 seconds left is indefensible. That decision alone cost them any chance of winning the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 No, Tomlin stays for as long as things aren't teetering towards disaster. What they need are civil relationships between OC/QB/WR, and a new DC that realizes JAX will run the ball all game long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
