The Mike Tomlin (and general coaching) Complaint Thread

Placing the cart before a non playoff winning head coach. It has been 9 year since our last playoff win.

Sadly it is only a matter of time until we are sent home for this season. There is no guarantee, but I hope Tomiln is fired ( Not likely ), gets a TV gig and is arranged upon settlement to settlement to leave the Steelers ( easier on Art Rooney II ) or is traded for next year. ( A real long shot )

Yet Tomiln doesn't think we played poorly vs. the Browns. A very bad football team starting a rookie QB who held us to six points? WTF. I'm sure your English professor could give us some colorful metaphors on that one.

Rooney better watch out, as anger can quickly become apathy with the fans. What was spoken loudly in our last game at
Acrisure Stadium?

" Fire Tomlin "

 

Yesterday Shefter was hinting at Tomlin or Harbaugh, perhaps both, stepping aside after the season. This year definitely feels different.

 

Tomlin shouldn’t be given the option to step aside. He should be fired.

 

Is Shefter says it, the chances are it is true. In this case I think his sources are leaking it out.

 

Agents are definitely talking. Ray Fittapaldo hinted at the possibilities of the Rooney's not exercising the 27 option year. Wouldn't surprise me if we woke up next Wednesday morning and Tomlin is giving a introductory speech for the NY football Giants.

 

Naw, why fire him when you could trade him. Set that up by refusing to exercise the 27 option and mutually go separate ways and allow him to pick the team he wants to coach next.
