Answer this question for me for all you Tomlin haters.

I've read on this site many times that the front office picks Tomlin's coaching staff, he has no say in the matter. So which is it?

 

I doubt any members of the site actually know how that works.

If it is Tomlin's decision, that should be taken out of his hands. Butler should be fired immediately. If they want to wait for the offseason, fine, but no way should he be back in 2019. The same is true for Smith.

 

If this is true, Then i truely believe Tomlin lost the lockerroom ..( tho i dont think he ever had it )

 

The speculation was from analysts, not players, so it really has nothing to do with losing the locker room.

 

I think they went in believing it would be Grimm or Whisenhunt and Tomlin blew them away in the interview.

I also don't think we have good reason to criticize the hire. Tomlin has had a great deal of success. He led the team to one Super Bowl victory and another appearance. He has the team in contention just about every year. He is a good coach. I'm not saying otherwise. I think he was a good hire, but it's time to move on.

 

Yeah but some of these games the offense puts up enough points to win, the sorry ass defense can't hold a lead. They shouldn't be giving up 24 points to the Raiders .

 

The Raiders aren't bad offensively. Sure, the defense folded badly in the fourth quarter, but the offense is the stronger part of Oakland's team. The Raiders did just score 30 the previous week against the Chiefs, the likely top seed in the AFC.

The way you beat the Raiders is by lighting up that terrible excuse for a defense. The Steelers were on the way to doing that when Roethlisberger was playing. He was in there for six drives. The Steelers scored touchdowns on three of them and got into field goal position on two others.

The real issue is the Steelers giving away four drives in the second half by using Dobbs.

 

Hire Pete Carroll and get on with it. This is ridiculous the Raiders were penalized what 200 yards? Most fans could pick better draft picks Burns should be selling popcorn , no inside linebacker.No clock management skills. If Tomlin had what’s left of Carroll’s roster he would have no wins.

 

Pete Carroll? Isn’t he under contract in Seattle?

 

Kris Richard is a younger guy with lots of passion, discipline and accountability. Look what he has done for the Cowboys D in his first year as their DB coach and defensive play caller. He also played a huge role in the creation of the Legion of Boom in Seattle before it was dismantled. I live here in Cowboy country, and this guy is legit. Tell me this guy wouldn't light a fire under the players' arses.

 

I believe that in the beginning Tomlin was limited in what changes he could make to the staff. Tomlin was taking over a veteran team, with Super Bowl potential, and I believe the Rooney's wanted keep Lebeau and Arians because that gave the team the best chance to win.

All that being said, I do not see Art II as a meddling owner. I believe that Tomlin now has full control over his staff, and most likely has had full control for sometime. If Tomlin wanted to make coaching staff changes, there would be changes. I highly doubt Tomlin wants to make staff changes and is being told no.

Just my two cents. Like you said, none of us know for sure.

 

Nah bruv we don't want a lateral movement...go for a meatball sub. That will be an upgrade over both and take the Steel nation back to the homeland. And just to ensure its success lets add 4 different types of cheeses. I'm not taking the piss anymore with this rubbish!

MvCarthy is a worse coach than Tomlin. Bloke had one of the greatest QBs of all time, carrying him and his offense, which is the only reason he lasted as long as he did. If MM didn't have Erin Rodgers he would have never won his lone Superbowl or lasted a quarter as long as he had Turd Bay.

 

Excellent post and spot on.

 

I see Munch as coordinator but not a legit HC candidate. His track record as HC was pretty underwhelming.

 

Davis always gets there late and when he's actually on time he's hitting our own guys or dropping INTs. The entire secondary minus Haden has zero ball skills and even he seems to be regressing.
Speaking of regressing....has anyone outside of Hargrave and Watt actually show signs of improving. Everyone else on D seems to be getting worse ,you name them.

 

Listening to Savran on the way home he said that he felt Mr Rooney would mandate changes to the coaching staff this offseason. To me that sounds like Tomlin has his say and that he will be mandated by ownership to make the changes.

 

who the f is erin rodgers?

 

Yep...apparently he baffled them all with psycho-babble BS, but that ship as now sailed and shouldn’t come back. The standard should not be the standard anymore.

 

It's fun to imagine but won't happen

 

Yes might have to wait idk if you could buy his contract or not but he does a lot with much less his best receiver is Lockett? Lol.

 

I wouldn’t take the information on this site as the gospel truth. Just saying.

 

That was the point of my post.

How can a team be unprepared and undisciplined consistently but win games because of superior talent? Why don't they win more if they win because of superior talent?

The fact that the team was usually in close games shows they were prepared.

People are also wrong when they believe the Steelers have superior talent when in comparison to the other teams in the league.

The fact that other teams can compete with and win vs the Steelers proves that the Steelers are not superior. Especially when you consider the mistakes the players make on the field.

Ultimately players win and lose games in the NFL.
