Omar Khan Complaint Thread

Yes backing into the playoffs and getting beat by 30 in the WC game. Good times for sure.

 

In other words, everything I said is true.

 

This is very possible that it was the call of Tomlin to trade Pickens...Tomlin has been way longer at his current job that Khan,so he has more power...I agree that the fact they had no replacement for Pickens was incompetant of his part but I had no problem to trade Pickens despite his great talent because he is a major headcase

 

Yes it’s true and you seem very impressed. I’ll save you a spot at the NHALS parade in January.

 

almost half of the league make the playoffs since 2021.They make the playoffs as the 7th seed twice.They are stuck in the middle and before this year the steelers were ranked 27th among the teams with the best young talent

They need to improve or the result will be the same,like a 9-10 wins type team

 

Given that so many people could be involved in the decisions (owner, coaches, GMs, scouts) and looking at the results over the last 10 years, I see two possibilities:

1. Steelers either run a stupid democracy with too many voices being heard which tends to result in mediocre decisions to appease everyone, *or*
2. they run a directive regime where one (or two) people set goals and the rest of the gang drives for those goals.

I personally think it's #2 and it's the owner saying "give me non-losing seasons", and then coaches and GM make that happen.

The owner LOVES Tomlin and has rewarded Tomlin massively for the results of the last 10+ years... what does that tell you? If you got some dude to cut your lawn and you didn't like the result, would you give him more work and MORE money??

So we can have all of these threads to blame everyone, but there really should be one person to blame: the trust fund grand kids of the original Rooney.

 

A younger Cam, TJ and Highsmith. Should have got those guys a ring with Ben in 2017. Damn shame to waste that year.

 

I know this is a complaint thread. I'll stop.

 

Still the truth. What do you have against the truth?

 

If only, if only.

 

My point was if the steelers want to become a true super bowl contender once again,they need a full rebuilding and stop to sign every old players available.Take 1-2 bad season and try to built a good young team

 

No! No bad seasons.

 

Regardless if Kahn wanted to keep Pickens there is nothing in Tomlin's contract that says he has to play him. Tomlin's doghouse can be cavernous.

Listen to the drama in Philly with Brown and his weekly gripes about lack of targets. Don't need that added to the Steelers problems.

 

Where are we stopping to sign these old players? Stop by the bar, grocer, Ace Hardware?

NO NEVER !

Can't go for that
can't go for that
NO
No can do

 

Give khan a voice to hire a new hc than i will have a clear picture about him

 

The picture is clear. Khan is not the executive type. There are now three years of decisions to play Pickett, Fields, Russ, and now Rodgers. He goes along for a ride. He is not a decision maker. I don't know if I would even trust him to be a consultant on decisions.
He is a scout. He can consult on that. A good one.

 

just curious but when there will be a decision to hire the new head coach Who decide ? Tomlin was a colbert choice ( if i remember well ) now will be rooney alone ?

 

Colbert was definitely a high exec type. Tomlin looked puny sitting and talking next to him.
The president or vice president will be at the helm of that process. One of the Rooneys. Khan may tag along and help because it's a nice thing to do. That's my expectation.

 

There is no link they have repeated it many times on podcasts, they also said his teammates and coaches wanted him gone.

 

add we don 't use a wr2 with austin

 

Obviously Goodwill, OBVIOUSLY

 

Yes, in the financial or large firms where executive watch stability and bottom line, and hire mid management to ensure that those are produced and managed. Then yes, those executives are just watching numbers.

Here we are not dealing with that. Here we are dealing with Super Bowl roster building. It is clear just from the three years of the "starting" quarterbacks that Khan is merely an assistant to Tomlin. He is just a scout who plays along.

 

I think that Khan is doing a decent job.

It is hard to judge without knowing what the focus has been and what control he has over players. It is going to be impossible to 100% guarantee that you are always going to pick a winner. Just not a realistic look. I do think that he has had more choices that are good than bad. I would imagine that much of what he picks is going to come from input from the HC telling him what he needs. I would bet that Tomlin has far more influence on what happens than Khan does....although it may be that Tomlin's street cred with the Rooneys is not what it once was. Based on that thinking, I would say that the priority of selection is on Tomlin, not Khan.

Khan is doing his part to get quality people in the draft and FA. He has made some great trades and FA moves IMO. He also has to balance things against the salary cap and immediate team needs (aka, stop the bleeding). That salary cap is going to hinder picking up tier 1 players in FA or trades. Look at Brandon Aiyuk last year as a great example. It was just too much money at the time even though we needed him (I think it was 30 million a year with a huge guarantee?). He is a very good receiver, but he is not a DK Metcalf level talent IMO. There are only a few very high quality players that come in FA / trades and they are expensive.

 

I’m glad he didn’t sell the farm for those receivers. That part IS what the GM job in Pittsburgh entails. We’ll give you this much but not that much for this guy but not that guy. That’s the job!
Then onto the GP deal as previously stated he didn’t wake up and say, “ we need to get rid of GP today” That’s not his job. He’s not the head coach or owner that tells him who to unload. Once THEY make that determination it’s his job to get it done in the best scenario money wise and division wise. That’s HIS job.
