    I always say, it’s just time for a new cereal.

    Almost 20 freaking years, come on, get a new voice in there.

    He is not wrong...Tomlin was very good at the start and he deserve credit for that but lately he is outdated

    They must not have been so great to start with and that makes us look bad for drafting them.

    Tomlin has made "the standard" a running joke. For that alone he should be fired.

    The more the former Redskin --Ryan Clark opens his mouth.The more I want Tomlin to stay here and never have a losing regular season.Maybe this year we will get to the play-offs and win--Then all the haters and nay-sayers can shut-up.He is our Coach until he is not.If he has a losing season and they want change--Then so be it --But I like Tomlin and hope he never loses.:herewego!:

    Tomlin is resting on stuff he did 15 years ago. He hasn't done anything great since then (last 15 years). Its past time to make a change. Really should’ve made the change in 2017.

    Marty Shottenheimer had some losing seasons and he had several different HC jobs, look at his coaching tree and it is pretty damn good. Yet he never did anything in the PO's, ot fired after going 14-2.

    you can like MT all you want, results matter, I personally do not think he is a bad HC, plenty worse in the league, but there comes a time when change is needed, happened to Noll, Cowher, and it is past time for MT.

    I don't care if they fire Tomlin, or resign him to another deal, I will root for whomever is the HC , like I have since I first started watching with Noll................
    My thing is the media, and fans ,like now , just knew Ben Roethlisberger was done, and it couldn't get any worse, so just get rid of him, and move on....LoL.
    Last two years with Ben = 55 td passes, and 20 ints

    Last three years without Ben =
    45 td passes , and 29 ints.
    Yeah the media, and those fans just knew it for a fact, and I believe Ryan Clark was leading the charge on how bad Ben was holding back the team.

    It can also be said that Marty was the most unlucky head coach in sports history. He wasn't helped by his kickers and bad luck on fumble recoveries or not in his playoff career.

    The majority of his playoff losses were very close. He deserves some blame for his playoff losses because he was too conservative at time, like his prevent defense on the Elway's 98-yard drive in 1986, but not all the blame.

    The Chargers were wrong to fire him after a 14-2 season in 2006, but their worst decision was to hire Norv Turner as head coach, who was like 25 games under .500 before becoming their head coach. The Chargers were a physical club under Marty and became soft under Turner.

    Green font needed

    They play on real grass

    Actually the playing surface is grass all the rest outside of that is artificial turf for example where the players sit and stand

    Marty got fired from the Chargers because he couldn't get along with his GM.

    Gotten worse?

    Edmunds and Bush sucked - they did not get worse.

    Tomlin just stuck w Edmunds FAR too long. I said he would not start again for another roster, or should not have. And Bush was an overreach from Day 1.

    It was not all about his injury, as some here make it out to be.

    We stretched, were desperate.....and failed there.

    I think most fans knew there would be lean years after Ben but wanted to start that process. You see how far we are already into it trying to replace him, adds up quick.

    Ben was done though, he had lower body injuries which he just referenced recently on his podcast that he still has. He would have been better than anything we have put out there since but that still wouldnt be enough to win a SB.

    So why drag it out, rip that bandaid off!

    I agree, but what I'm getting at is ......some people.....made it sound like He was holding the team back, and as soon as he was gone the passing game would be that much better, but 5 Qbs later, and none were as good as what Ben was, as a old, broken down, Qb. I'm just trying to point out the grass isn't always greener, and things can get worse. Like we've so far seen at Qb
