    Vrabel has actually accomplished more than Tomlin has since 2017. Example: winning playoff games against teams that Steelers can't currently beat in the post season.

    I see you are impressed by vague opinions supported by no evidence at all. Johnson has six games as an NFL head coach. His team this year has exactly the same record as Tomlin's team, but he doesn't have all those previous years of success. Johnson is a better offensive coordinator than Tomlin. I'll give him that. That doesn't put him on Tomlin's level as a head coach.

    Silly me. I include all the available information rather than arbitrarily choosing a cut-off point to support a misleading argument like you are doing.

    The bulk of Tomlin's success was with players drafted by Cowher... some exeptions Timmons, Woodley and Mendenhall. Steelers have been terrible in the post season since the loss to Tebow.

    Barely beating the Bengals during the Burfict/Pacman game. Barely beating the Dolphins without Tannehill and barely beating the Chiefs with Alex Smith WITH the Killer Bs.

    Carroll's bonehead call cost him a Lombardi.

    One could argue Mendenhall cost us #7.

    Trying to be as objective as possible, I have Tomlin at #7. I think that's fair. An argument could be made to rank him anywhere from 7 to 12. If your ranking higher or lower than that then you aren't being objective.

    no

    one play did not cost us

    the Pack WR dropped at LEAST 3 TD passes.

    we should have lost 40 - 17......

    GET OFF of this narrative....

    Tomlin hasnt really accomplished anything in the last 14 years. Thats the problem with him. A number of these coaches have more playoff success than Tomlin does in the last decade. Thats a good measure of who is better now. Career wise though, sure Tomlin is ahead of most active coaches. Bit im looking at who is the best now.

    Is my humor or attempt at humor too abrasive for you?

    :roflmao:

    Reid only? What a joke. Take the rose colored glasses off, please. Ever heard of Sirianni, McVey and Shanahan? How many Super Bowls has Tomlin made it to in the past 10 years? :facepalm:

    Taylor actually made it to the Super Bowl since Game of Thrones started in mid 2011. Popcorn has not.

    @HeinzMustard@HeinzMustard

    So you think Zac is only equal to Tomlin and not better currently?

    No.... not equal, better. Zac Taylor is a coach with a background in 21st century offense. Taylor has shown he is a superior coach at this point in time... in the year 2025.

    Last 10 years? Tomlin has been coaching for more than twice that long. Check back later.
