Dulac: Steelers keeping Mike Tomlin Other Coaching Changes Likely

https://steelersdepot.com/2025/01/dulac-steelers-keeping-mike-tomlin-other-coaching-changes-likely/

Changes among the coaching staff are likely to be expected, but the defense is basically devised and managed by Tomlin even though Terry Austin is the defensive coordinator.

 

Obviously. Any chance Smith is one and done? i wouldn't think so but change in schemes is sorely needed

 

The standard ends in November.

 

My future's so bright
I GOTTA WEAR SHADES

 

The fire Tomlin chants this fall at Heinz will be lit and Art II will have nobody but himself to blame for the upcoming debacle.

 

Terry Austin? Who’s that?

 

You know who he meant….quit being a d!ck!

 

Nah

 

Even though I knew it for some f'd up reason I was hoping Tomlin would decide to step down, delusional because my head said no way, he will keep cashing those checks, but my heart held out hope. A few years ago before we drafted Pickett I took time off and rarely watched the games because I knew it was fools hope. I watched a lot this year to see if Russ could make a difference and Canada was gone. Probably gonna step away next year, boy is off to college, new home being built likely during that time so distractions will be there. Having said that it just sucks to not have that entertainment to look forward to, then again its always gut wrenching stress, ha.

 

Glenn calling out the guy who said Heinz field in 1, 2, 3…

 

Where was that? Can’t believe I missed that.

 

Of course I know who he meant. I’m just having fun. Gotta take your lumps.

 

Lol…aight. I’m with ya there.

 

Tomlin is one of the highest paid coaches? How is that possible? The "experts" here say that the Rooneys are cheapskates!

 

If this guy is going to stay whats the point of making any changes to the rest of the staff?

Just anticipate another 10-7 or 9-8 season with maybe a first round exit again.

 

Not sure, but this is the only Austin I want to see on this defensive staff right now. Let Tomlin try to take the playcalling over from him.

 

Coach Cool staying, what a shocker. Looks like next year is year 3 not watching something that is just not worth the investment. This is the 3rd time on this board since that last failure of a season ended last year and it looks exactly the same then as it does now. It's one thing to post when there is optimism and excitement that entertains. This isn't it. See you all next January if I am around.

 

Honestly, what's the plan? The DC is pretty much in name only and Tomlin micromanages the offense. This team desperately needs a franchise QB but will likely bring in a 36 year old Kirk Cousins, like he's some answer. Where's the accountability; where's the discipline; where's the fire and heart? There's multiple plays from last night where players made business decisions and quit. So they're just going to use FA and the draft to patch holes like the previous two seasons, then what's the plan? This is f&cking insanity and will only net the same result by January.

 

He is a lil prick .

 

I didn’t see it happening

 

Not sure why the dumbass gave Tomlin a contract extension in the first place

 

Belichick and his son to Pittsburgh
A Smith to UNC

 

Keeping Mike Tomlin is the result of complete stubbornness from Rooney. Rooney cares more about legacy than Championships... whereas the old Steelers cared only about Championships. We've gone through numerous coordinators, players, GM's... with the only common denominator throughout the embarrassing 0-6 blowout, first round playoff exists, is Mike Tomlin. Tomlin is horrendous at developing players and, especially, QBs. And, while he was a great motivator, he has been routinely outcoached when preparation matters most. Even his ability to motivate is now in question given the lack of effort on display during his 0-6 record. Rooney needs to wake the hell up and start caring more about putting a quality coaching staff together to give Steelers fans the team they deserve.

 

What a fkin joke.
