    There are a lot of NFL teams that would love to have the Steelers' results over the last decade plus.
  • We've gotten a taste of what he could do without Big Ben.  Now let's get him a real QB to see if he can go 20-0.

    I'm not sure that is the best way to define success in a professional sport.  They haven't won a championship since his 2nd or 3rd year coaching.

    Counterpoint: the Detroit Lions havent won a championship since 1957 and havent even won a playoff game since 1991.

    I think you need to adjust your bar just a smidge...
  • I'm glad he did and I wish them the very best in their return to the '80s.

  • they're going to be garbage this year so good job getting signed on for the rebuild, I guess
  • I only see 7 posts. How many do
  • Adolf Oliver Nipples: I only see 7 posts. How many do


    How many don't I see that say HURR DURR COACH OMAR?

    And the Lions have had 5 or 6 head coaches while Tomlin has been at Pittsburgh.  Pittsburgh is a storied, generally well run franchise but they haven't won a championship under Tomlin in 12 or so years.  I wonder if part of the decision is the mystique of having had so few head coaches?

    I'd imagine the decision came down to having the second-best win-loss record among head coaches since he took over.

    Were it not for the Patriots' dominance this conversation wouldn't even be happening.
  • He's a Hall-of-Fame coach who's still relatively young. They'd be crazy to let him go at this point.

    I like the "Well, he hasn't won a championship in awhile" argument for getting rid of him. Who would you rather have, Doug Peterson or Mike Tomlin? No one seems to be calling for Sean Payton's head in NO (that I'm aware of)

    And we saw this past season who was largely responsible for that

    And I'll circle back around to my original point that there are a lot of NFL teams that would love to have had the results Tomlin put up with the Steelers in the last decade plus, even without your ridiculous expectations.

    145-78-1 regular season record. Never had losing record.
    Made playoffs 9 out of 14 years.
    8-8 playoff record, including SB win and AFC championship.

    That's a great point

    Expecting the Pittsburgh Steelers to win a Super Bowl is ridiculous?

    Read your original post, dude. Comparing Tomlin's results to insanity because he hasnt won a Super Bowl in 12 years is ridiculous.

    Actually (assuming you want to win a SB - which you disagree with apparently) continuing to hire someone who hasn't been able to win in 13 years was the point.  It was meant to be humorous but I forget there are fans like you

    Brady and Belichick went 10 years between Super Bowls at one point, and were only saved by the worst playcall in Super Bowl history. Saying "the guy who wins a lot hasn't won a Super Bowl in a long time" is literally the worst argument for getting rid of him

    And Cowher had none in his first 12.

    And apparently you lack reading comprehension skills, because my point all along has been that there are a lot of NFL teams that would be happy with the results Tomlin has put up with the Steelers. You apparently view those results as "insanity" and failure, prompting my statement that you need to adjust your expectations a smidge.

    I barely consider myself a Detroit Lions fan, and I'd go streaking down Woodward Ave bare assed nekkid if the Lions put up the Steelers results over the last 14 seasons.

    9 trips to the playoffs. 7 of his 8 wins happened in 3 of those trips. 1 win in his other 6 times. That's not exactly great. Schottenheimer Syndrome.

    Regardless of the discussion, I was out of line with my crack about fans like you in my previous post.  Sorry about that.
  • Amazing the Steelers have had only 3 different head coaches since 1969
