Cleveland - Kitchens returns; it has only been a year

Jax - Doug is gone, how could he not be after firing the President of Operations.  New guy will want to bring in his own coach and GM.

NYG -  Shurmur is gone, the Mara's have seen enough

Dallas - Garret is gone

Washington - Doesn't matter, Snyder needs to be gone for them to win

Pittsburgh - Tomlin is fired.  He's not the guy for the team after Big Ben; Tomlin is in way over his head right now.

Your kidding with Tomlin right? Not a chance in hell

They lost their #1 quarterback, running back, tight end and receiver for stretches. I mean this isn’t even a conversation if their defense wasn’t so good. The D got them the record mostly. But a lot of those guys playing skill positions are barely practice squad worthy. 

 

Conner, McDonald, and JuJu only missed about 10 games total, but I see your point about the parallels of the defense carrying the offense. I still think their elite O-line and the presence of those guys for most of the year is better than what the Bills had in 2017 though (and yes I know our O-line was pretty good that year, but they weren't perennial all-pros).

Flores is super safe next year, this a complete rebuild and he has the players playing hard. Quinn likely won't see November if they get off to a slow start.


I think Miami have finally found themselves a coach. I’m impressed with Flores. They have some nice pieces and a lot of draft picks. They need to find a QB though.  I think Miami and the Bills will be contending in the AFC East for years to come. NE and NYJ will implode.

Wondering what the Bucs will do with Arians and Winston 

 

Wel, it was reported as you probably know Winston is getting tagged, but I’m not so sure.  The analysts down here think the Glazers do a 180 on him.  Arians and Bowles are completely safe. Licht has history with Arians at Arizona, and both have four year contracts.  The Glazers won’t pull the plug on Mgmt or coaching.

 

I wish we would give Winston the boot as he hasn’t improved at all in five years.  The fans are so sick of him.  I know there is a lot of sentiment they move up in the draft and find their next QB.

Tomlin is not getting fired. No way, no how. For the Steelers to even be in contention in week 17 was a damned miracle.

Excellent coach, he would be unemployed maybe a minute. NY Giants would love him.

We also had Tyrod, and for all his faults he wasn’t tossing up 50/50 balls all game like duck and he did get us quite a bit of rushing first downs. It’s a bit of a wash. But a similar thing in coaches getting the most from their players

I’ll go out on a limb and pick Lynn in LA. 
I don’t think it’s cause he’s a bad coach, as an organization they are just in a weird place. 
Rivers is probably done there. Is it smart to actually sign him back up for them? 
Obviously Gordon is probably done there. 
Do they resign Ekeler? Keenan Allen is a little older. Hunter Henry? Worth money or always injured? 
Lynn made one mistake that I know of playing Gordon so much when Ekeler is just light years ahead of him this season. 
 

It’s a team to watch. And a team that is in a very crucial crossroads. I can see wanting to go in a fresh direction if they’re letting some of those players above walk. I can also see wanting to pair a new coach with a new quarterback. Once again I like Lynn. I don’t think he deserves to be fired. But I think he could be based on where the chargers are at. 

I think it’s possible Lynn in LA bites it so they can let Brady pick his new coach. You know the hot new rumor is that is where Brady wants to play his last 1-2 seasons since they have good WR talent, a good defense and will be rebuilding their QB situation soon. 

Maybe he drags his OC with him?

Black Monday tomorrow in the NFL. What are your predictions???

 

Cleveland - Kitchens out for sure?

Jacksonville - St. Doug out?

NYG - Shurmur gone?

Dallas - Garrett fired?

Washington - Are they going to hire Rivera? Prob the smartest thing they can do. 

 

Who else???? What about the hires? Any surprise new coaches? 
 

 

-If Kitchens is not out than its the same with the Brownies...lol....kitchens should be out with OBJ...dorsey etc

-Evil Doug will be looking for a new home (who ever will take him)....he's gonzo...

-NYG......not sure......maybe another season im thinking if a better option presents

-Garrett is gone like Turkey dinner on XMAS

-Washington will upgrade for sure........

Why?  Have you not noticed the crappy job he has done with the QB situation between Duck Hodges and Mason Rudolph?  Tomlin played both like it is pre season, switching between the two of them.  He could have got the team in the playoffs, but didn't...for two years in a row.


Not many teams make it to the post season when their starting QB on IR.  Hodges and Rudolph aren’t any answers at QB.  Hodges was an UDFA our of Samford...who has a successful season as a coach with him?
 

Tomlin did a good job this year.  Not only did he lose Big Ben, he lost AB.  

Tomlin was in the conversation of COY just two weeks ago.

Yeah agreed, and they’ve only had 3 head coaches in the past 50 years. The Rooneys do not pull the trigger that easily.

 No way is Flores in the hot seat in MIA.  He did a great job with a team most said was one of the least talented NFL rosters in years.  He’s already accomplished something McDermott has failed at six straight times.

you're right, my bad.  i got the gase failures confused :doh:

What about last year?  What was Tomlin's excuse last year, he had AB, Big Ben, and JuJu.  I think Tomlin has vastly underperformed with the talent he has had over the years.

No chance Tomlin is fired. 

This....

 

But next year might be it, many rumors that the Rooney's and ownership.group is growing very impatient

how many Super Bowls they have?  Pretty sure the fans  will be ok.  To win 8 games with Devlin Hodges and Mason Rudolph is not shabby

sound like a steeler fan type of reply....how many super bowls do we have? lol.

 

Most of those coming in the 70s, and Ben's time winding down, I think tomlin still leaves much to be desired.  That said, that organization wont fire him this year

Nope.  IMO, Tomlin has greatly underperformed with the talent he has had over the seasons.  He's been the coach since 2007 and is starting to get long in the tooth, actually for the past two years.  It's not like Pitt is making an irrational decision by firing Tomlin; sometimes change is good after a long tenure...for both parties.  I personally don't care what Pitt does with Tomlin, it's just my opinion as an outsider who is not a Steeler fan.

He’s got a career .645 winning percentage and been to the playoffs 8 times with a Super Bowl victory.  

 

And he's been to the Conference Championship once since 2010, where they lost to NE.  I think Tomlin is getting long in the tooth in Pitt, sometimes change is good.  This is one of those times.

TB needs to part ways with their gm.  He drafted Winston so those two go together  I can't believe they will trot Winston out there again in 2020

Who hasn’t lost to NE?  The Patriots since 2010 have been to the Super Bowl 5 times...5.

And Pitt hasn't figured out how to beat them.  A team like the Steelers should have a better record than 3-11 since the 2007 season, which is Tomlin's first year as HC.

Like I said...who has?  What the Pats have done in the last 10 years is insane.  5 Super Bowls, 8 AFC Championships and 11 division titles in a row.

Living in Pittsburgh, losing to new England "used to be" the concern/issue.  Over the past few years. it's been the steelers 'playing down' to competition and losing games they have no business losing.  The past 2 years, it has cost them a playoff berth. Injuries hit them hard this year, but they should have won last week and got steamrolled (over 200 yards rushing against) by thr baltimore backups today

Tomlin did a good job in a tough situation. But really ... sticking with Hodges after the Bills game? When it became obvious to all that he simply wasn't an NFL QB? That's on him.

He's kind of handcuffed because Rudolph is equally as bad.  Not as turnover prone but doesn't move the ball at all on offense.

I get that Rudolph wasn't good, but I think Tomlin misses the distinction between "QB with the necessary tools who isn't getting it" (kind of a Paxton Lynch or EJ Manuel type) and "QB who simply doesn't belong in the NFL" -- Rudolph would have given them some chance to win today on a day when throwing the ball in the rain was tough enough for a guy with an NFL arm and impossible for a guy with a Samford arm.
