Adam727 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I don't even understand why this is a question. The Steelers go deep into the playoffs almost every year... and even today when people are questioning his decision-making, the steelers scored 14 points on 4th downs in situations where the Bills would have definitely punted. Steelers would have to be crazy to fire Tomlin and he'd have a new job within 48 hours if they did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 No, he has too much positive capital to dump for a few stupid coaching decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderGun Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 No, they were a Jesse James TD away from home field throughout... He definitely didn't have his team prepared today though, not on the defensive side of the ball. I agree, he's nothing special but his record as a HC speaks for itself, nobody is canning a HC coming off the season he just had combined with how good his resume looks on paper.

No. But if you watch the game you would understand how many asinine calls he made today. If you watch Steelers games you would understand this isn't an isolated incident. The only reason they were in the game were 4 ridiculous catches for TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 All I can ever think of when I see Tomlin is when he tried to trip the guy returning a kick. I’d have fired him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 2 hours ago, keepthefaith said: 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. A three and out ? ... The Steelers defense were awful all day long, if they had kicked off they never would've gotten the ball back. The onside kick was one of the most pitiful I've ever seen.

Ol Dirty B Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 No, I wouldn't fire him. The guy is a winner year in and year out. The roster has turned over under him at everywhere besides QB and while Ben is good, he's not in the top 5 imo. The roster has stayed good across the board and performed well. Yea, he's only got one super bowl. But they also have to go through the pats like everyone else in the AFC. He deserves some credit for their sustained success. It's not in spite of him in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 No. I think both coordinators are on the hotseat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Frankly he should have been fired when he tripped that one Baltimore player a few years back along the sideline. He lacks integrity and I'm surprised the Rooney family would stand for it this long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I think Tomlin is a good coach but not great. I get he has 1 ring but he fell in the perfect situation. Came in with Ben, (a future hall of fame QB) and 2 very experienced coordinators in Lebeau (one of the best d coordinators ever) and I believe Bruce Arians. I wouldn’t fire him, but if there’s another early exit for their standards next year , then I think your question would seem very legitimate Edited January 15, 2018 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he gets a mulligan the year after Ben hangs it up. The rumblings will start during the second year after Ben retires Third year after Ben retires, Tomlin will be calling games for CBS or Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Would I? No. Will they? No. Their HC continuity is why the Steelers are a threat to win the whole thing year after year. but their D.C. Should be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills11 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Tomlin should have been fired years ago...hes another version of chuck pagano. He came to the steelers from a defensive background with his scheme being the cover 2 he wisely kept dick lebeau as def coordinator...and since his initial year the defence has been a mess if hes not improving the defence which is supposed to be his side of the ball what is he doing? the steelers have underachieved under him id argue hes one of the worst coaches in the nfl given the talent at his disposal.

Cripple Creek Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 3 hours ago, Ennjay said: 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? Clock management today was not good. Should have kicked the FG right after the long reception, poor use of timeouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
