    I think Steeler ownership will want answers, I know if I
    owned the team I would.

    Yes, it's Meddling Mike's defense and always has been.

    I'd love to see what a real def co could do with these players, with Tomlin out the way. The defense is vanilla and soft, every season it falls apart and gets destroyed by a real HC/QB combo, like AR and PM, just like BB and TB did for years.

    They don't hold Tomlin accountable at all, everyone else is used as a scapegoat.

    The truth is with any other HC on a storied franchise who keeps falling short, the media would be asking why? But they don't it's a free pass for MT.

    Rich Eisen is basically Tomlin's PR agent. The last video he did caping for Tomlin was papering over the cracks and spinning defeats into positives until you weere dizzy.

    He's not held accounatble anywhere, in a league where HC's are routinely mocked, ridiculed and destroyed in the media, and you have to ask why that is...
