Are we heading for a fall from grace?

I think that the current situation is bringing to light the fact the Tomlin is not Head Coaching material and that the Rooneys made a poor decision by placing him in that position before he was ready.

Did you miss the past 5 seasons with Tomlin as HC?

This is just insane .... with a view of the Steelers performance over the past 5 years, the only way a comment like this can be explained either blind hatred or simple blindness posting.php?mode=smilies&f=2#:shrug:

Look, as big of a fan as I am, I don`t ALWAYS look thru Black - n- Gold glasses...
Yes, we have issues...
What team in the league doesn`t?
Even the so-called best of the best this year, New Orleans, and Green Bay, Didn`t make it to the dance...
We are consistentley one of the most competitive teams in the league, year in and year out...
I don`t see that changing, despite some signifigant assistant coach/co ordinater changes, and some probably signifigant veterans not coming back next year.
I`m not saying "just trust the Rooney`s with blind faith, everything will be ok, because it has been for a long time"...
But...
Arians being replaced SHOULD be a huge plus, given a competent replacement, and Ben accepting it,
Mendy having surgery is not THAT big of an issue, given the depth behind him,
Same with Smith, possibly Ward, and some of the other vets.
Yes, I am concerned about the nosetackle position.
With McClendon, being very likely the only TRUE nosetackle with any experience, that is a legit concern, but I do still have faith in the defense to adapt and overcome.
LeBeau is welcome here, in my book, as long as he wants to be.
Tomlin is still learning, and still young.
I would like to see some improvement in the in game management/adjustments, and clock management, but I don`t feel(as some others do), that he is "in over his head", or "weak", etc...
We see lots of posters every year, question whether "the window is closing", or how well we can possibly compete next year, given all the "issues" we are faced with...
And nine times out of ten, we post a winning record, and usually at LEAST make the playoffs...
I`m betting we will again, next year, also...
Here We Go... STEELERS! Here we go!!!

Finally, the voice of reason. Excellent post
