McCarthy vs Tomlin Drafts

I think GB was running a 34 when they beat us in the SB. But I'm not sure either.

"Base" defenses are sub packages now, but that was probably less true early in the dataset for both of these guys.

 

We know that Tomlin and the GM were on equal footing, and Rooney had final say. Likely impossible to say who was most influential on any particular pick so difficult to analyze who contributed more to any particular success or failure as far as the draft other than to say they were all involved. If Coach T had a strong opinion one way or another it is hard to believe that would not be influential.

 

No one was on the roster that Tomlin didn't want to be there.

 

Both the GM and the head coach report directly to the owner. That’s what the team has long said. They’ve also long said that the GM runs the draft.


Go back and look at the goo goo eyes that Tomlin made at Malik Willis during pre draft workouts. He didn’t draft Kenny Pickett.

I’m sure Tomlin has a ton of input. I bet the other coaches did as well. It would be foolhardy for any team to draft guys the coaching staff didn’t want or believe in.

But many Steelers fans trying to rewrite history.

Plus, we can always start talking about Bill Cowher and his love affair with the look in Alonzo Jackson’s eyes.
