Congrats Coach Tomlin on 17 years of non losing seasons

For Tomlin, I believe he is a good head coach and I have no problem with him being back for the next few years if he has a much better coaching staff...He deserves criticism for keeping Matt Canada for a another year...it's absolutely ridiculous, no other team would have done that in this situation....I have no problem with stability if the results are acceptable but that wasn't the case with Canada.... I also hope he will have a new o-line coach too

For the non losing season streak, it proves that Tomlin has a very high floor no matter what and this is one of the best in NFL history but he must absolutely improve his ceiling which is what matters the most at the end of the day and a good coaching staff around him would be good step in the right direction

One of the reasons for John Harbaugh's success with Baltimore is that he surrounds himself with very good assistants and when the results are not good enough, he is not afraid to change.

 

I won't pretend to know how Art is thinking about this, if the past is an indication then the extension is coming, and I doubt only for one year. if winning two games is the determining factor, then he or any CEO is a fool. After the report on Belichek said he was out several weeks ago, a reporter from Boston said the Kraft's had made that decision, but as the team won a game or two they softened and things might change. Now Bill just signed an extension so its a bit different, but you look at the whole dynamic and if you look at these last 2 games, then you look at the 3 games they lost badly (2 at home) and what really was an uninspired team in many games this year, last several years.

if they beat balt and somehow make it into the playoffs it changes nothing for me, we need change at the top, but I dont make those decisions, if I did I would not be posting here on a cheap lap top on New Year's morning lmao.

 

Was reading the Seahawks boards and looks like their fans are having this very same debate regarding Pete.

 

Interesting, Pete like Belichek is over 70, and he actually has done a decent job the last 2 years with little to deal with, have no idea their owner situation, but every thing has its ending.

 

Me too, matter of fact I am going down to Rivers this week to collect.

 

Grab popcorn and enjoy...

Oh it isn't just in PGH, just as always the back up qb is always the most popular figure in the just about every NFL city, minus a few cities.

 

Topic of discussion was about firing Pete due to a decade of mediocrity. Backup QB wasn't apart of that discussion

 

Tomlin was getting a 2-3 year extension regardless of how the season ended.

 

Ravens fans felt the same way about Harbaugh until this year.

 

I understand, I was just making a comment of how it has always been in PGH concerning qb situation.

 

I hope

 

How are you so sure?

 

Based on what inside information

Or did you read it on Fox News

 

The fO will make the most important decision this off season with the hire of OC /playcaller and offensive assistants. They can't wiff on this one.
and if MT doesn't let this person have authority to run the offensive side of the ball, then he will have to move on.

 

He doesn't get any credit from me for seemingly kinda rescuing a season just when it's too late. We were 7-4 going into two games against 2-10 teams,and we have just beatem two teams who aren't that good and one without it's ALL-PRO QB.

Too little too late Tomlin, 17 years in and we're giving him credit for making some smart in game decisions and managing the clock?

This is just another typical MT coaching season, where he's underperformed and somehow managed to come away with some credit for going over .500, the ultimate smoke and mirrors act if ever there was one. The few talents MT does consistently display are amazing powers of survival instincts and self-preservation.

This is the same **** all over again, playing down to the opposition, another in-season collapse, another medicore record where we'll either fail to make the playoffs, or get in and get blown out.

And going into next season the status quo will remain unchanged.

 

6 pages of comments, I read the first 3 and thought, "Oh thats so and so from our board", I saved the popcorn for Glenn. lmao

 

So when are the shirts and hats being sold?

 

I think that is the sentiment of many here, and just reading the first comment sentiment posted on a link to the 'Hawks board on Carrol, pretty much illustrates the frustrations. It is not about a one or two game hot streak..players playing hard in those games, what about the total disarray earlier in the season (even in the scratched out wins). The seasons where indeed this team won many games, only to be blown out in the first playoff game. I have no doubt many are correct, if he got fired, resigned,,if he wanted to still coach the phone would be ringing off the hook. That's fine, some say 'who would you get better?", well Noll was a HOF coach and we got Cowher, he is a HOF coach and we got MT, everything has a season and then the time comes for change. I have no idea who might be better on a list of candidates, but even as an old man I accept new challenges.

 

Please pick up your participation trophy at the desk.

 

Yea, after reading some of the threads it was easy to spot some of the parallels between specifical posters regarding the Tomlin/Pete situation. But now it's time to pack and make my way to the amtrak station. Weekend getaway is over and I work tonight.

 

LOL…haven’t read any posts but I can imagine what they might say. “We just let a team that lost to two 2-10 teams back to back at home come into our house and dominate us! Pete Carroll has to go!”

 

Lol. It's pretty much like that everywhere when your team is losing. Fire the HC, fire the OC, fire the QB, fire the water boy, ect

 

Someone who makes the single most stupid play call in SB history should have been gone already!
