The Mike Tomlin (and general coaching) Complaint Thread

I think they said Warren only had three carries in the second half against the Packers.

 

Like you said defense sucks
So either point is moot
Although
There is a common denominator

 

Maybe he is a
Yahoo

 

Well we know he’s not an offensive mind and his entire coaching background is on D. So if he’s not good at that either WTF is he here??? I know your not AR2 and can’t answer this.

 

Tomlin’s best days have been long behind him for a while now. I know its not all coaching, (Watt and Cam may be done too), but alot of it is. The next coach should be an up and coming OC or DC, a no nonsense type.

 

This thread could get quite long.

Using Bill Belichick as an example, there's have been some others.....
Bills got rings all over his fingers, mostly because he got into a great front office situation (and ownership) and stumbled upon Tom Brady.
Doesn't hurt that Bill is a very good defensive coordinator and smart enough to find/hire a good offensive coordinator.
That magic alone set the wheels in motion to turn a franchise from an also ran to a championship caliper franchise.
But Bills didn't adapt to the new ways and additionally thought he could run the entire franchise.
That added up to fail as the result was a salary strapped, aging team that wasn't moving assets to acquire picks to bring in youth or trade for difference makers.
And some other stuff.

It's well established that Mike Tomlin can win with average teams.
But he had a much shorter drop to reality than Bill since he isn't sporting two fists full of rings.
The front office isn't doing him any favors either.
He's very stubborn in not recognizing what/who is failing. He sticks with 'his guys' and 'the old ways' far too much.
His staff smells the same scent I remember when I went to see Aunt Augustine in the old folk's home.
And if they've given him the keys to the front office and they are functioning so poorly, well, like Bill he just isn't that skilled.
I hate using this example, but Pickens is a prime example. That dysfunctional mess landed in Dallas, and they don't care as long as he catches passes, and he's doing exactly that.
That's an example of managing your talent failure.

Bob Dylan once crooned "The Times, They are a-changin'"
It's probably time to go work on his golf game.

 

He can’t have input on players he can’t have input on coordinators he isn’t a defensive guru….. why don’t we just you know FIRE HIM!! Unbelievable

We have to put up all these guard rails because of how much he sucks and he’s won 3 playoff games in 15 years. Absolutely maddening.

 

I am not part of the Tomlin calls the defense crowd. Having said that I do think he has a heavy hand in the defense's gameplanning.

 

Because the jumbo disappeared....

 

It is more important to me to get rid of Austin at this point since he is the one actually calling the defense in game. Tomlin may have input about defensive gameplanning, but he isnt calling the plays. Austin is a bad in game coordinator and that is on Tomlin and Kahn, they should of recognized this already and made a change.

 

So no complaint on arguably the worst defense in football?

 

Austin may be awful at in game play calling and may be awful at preparing as well however…….. he is nothing more than a figure head to take the blame for our bum HC. Wake up Wizard! Why do you think Mike keeps surrounding himself with these incompetent pawns.

 

Here I’ll help you with your confusion

Tomlin has 9 years of defensive coaching experience

He coaches defense

Now let’s look at the word Guru which is currently causing you a brain fart and see if you can add two plus 2

noun

1. (in Hinduism and Buddhism) a spiritual teacher, especially one who imparts initiation.

 

I don't think anybody has denied that Tomlin is involved in the schemes or game planning, some hardheaded fans want to claim he calls all of the defensive plays though.

 

Start peeling away the onion until you get to the part that isn't old and dried out....

 

They should fire Austin and not replace him at all. Let Mike call the D so then he can’t place the blame on anyone else for his ****ty product.

 

PAUL ZEISE | I have learned a lot today about the inner workings of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it is amazing to me that there are still people who are looking to find excuses for their current defensive struggles without pointing the finger precisely where it belongs.

Apparently, it is everyone else’s fault except for Mike Tomlin, the head coach. Well, that’s unless things are going well, then it is because Tomlin is a genius and one of the best coaches in NFL history.

The Teflon Tomlin nickname has never been more appropriate than now, all things considered. He is never to blame for anything bad, and anyone who suggests that it is Tomlin’s fault is either racist or doesn’t know ball.

I heard Alan Saunders on a recent podcast say Butler was fired, we don't know what went on behind the scenes. Remember when Art ll tried to say Arians was going to retire but he said that wasn't true .

 

Zeise is a clown, that dude sounds like he's drunk.

 

Listen it’s possible he had an axe to grind but it doesn’t change Mike Tomlin is the HC Mike Tomlin hires these assistants and Mike Tomlin should be held accountable. Period end of story. How can you not see this when the same BS happens year after year after year??

 

When I first heard him on the radio I thought it was some type of amateur contest. That being said he’s not wrong here.

 

Why does Tomlin let the Ravens have a bye the week before their Thursday night game?

 

Damn the PG for not letting me read it. I never heard the nickname "Teflon Tomlin". I have to break down and get the PG on line.

 

We do have to start wondering about Kahn and Weidl as well. Where was the talent evaluation when some of these guys were signed? Chuck Clark? Really? Thornhill was kicked off a bad Browns team (ok, the defense wasn't bad). Slay? C'mon man, what were they seeing watching his tape? Is it a case where Tomlin convinced them he could make them work?
I was thinking the Steelers would be in danger of losing Weidl with a few successful drafts but now it's no longer even at DEFCON 2 for a team signing him.
