Is this Tomlin's last year?

Sticking up for dad.... I guess that is honorable:

Good grief, this franchise...

 

"Externally, many feel like the seat has to be hot on Tomlin. But sources say that is not the case internally. 'He doesn't pay attention to it. It's been this way since he got [to Pittsburgh],' said a source. 'He remains focused on winning and doesn't let the noise affect him.' A Steelers head coach hasn't been fired since 1941, and all indications are it won't be happening at the end of this season either. As it stands today, there's a good likelihood Tomlin is back coaching the Steelers in 2026."

1941 wow

 

Rodgers will be the scapegoat for Tomlin this year...Next year,it will be Kyler Murray

 

He should be but I doubt it will happen. Would love for them to come to an agreement, part ways and start fresh for the draft in Pittsburgh.

But the draft in Pittsburgh is also why it probably won’t happen. It would dominate the whole draft coverage. It would be great television though.

 

If they decline his option, is he going to want to coach in 2026 on a one year deal? Should we allow him to be heavily involved in the offseason for a team that he isn't going to be coaching past the 2026 season? Declining his option and having him coach in 2026 would be super dumb. Maybe declining his option and giving him no say in the coordinators is enough to make him want to resign (or be traded)... We should let him know asap our decision on his option so it gives the team the best options to move forward.

 

The team option in 2027 change things....I agree the steelers will not fire Tomlin but it could be similar to what the seahawks did with Carroll or the pats with Belichick

 

So you're saying
THIS IS NOT TOMLIN'S LAST YEAR?

Where have I read that ?

 

Apparently Adam has some new input

Wahoo.

 

Interesting.

I thought it was 2 more years AND then an option for the 3rd.

I agree that I can't see us firing him. But I also don't see us picking up this option (I assume the $$$ guaranteed once the option is exercised) if we don't make the playoffs this year (which almost certainly means winning the division).

This also makes it sound like the option is at the team's discretion. I believe in the last contract, the option was based on results. So that if we won X% of games, the option was automatically exercised. Interesting that they changed that.

Also wish that the terms of these deals was as transparent as player contracts. But since there's no cap on coaching salaries, I guess there's no reason to publish the info.

 

I can still see him wanting out at the end of this year, if we keep losing and the boos continue.

 

Are you in on the decision making

 

We... the "Steelers"... this is pretty common fan talk? I get the joke, but I asked a legitimate question to your post.

 

The fans have to show out the final home games of the season with the "fire Tomlin" chants. Can't let that be a one time thing.

 

They will say to him let's find the way to ship you out of town tell me how you would like . They should have fired him after the jax playoff loss but here we are

 

I was just messing with you I use we sometimes when talking about the team too.

 

Why merge the thread with new info into this old ass thread

 

I would buy the steelers just to fire him !
