    Tomlin was a very good coach for a long time, but after the playoff loss to the Jaguars in 2017 and the late-season collapse in 2018, it was time, and it would have been normal after 12 years with the same team.

    The problem isn't Tomlin's fault, but rather Rooney's; he kept him for too long. Sometimes, after so many years, it's time for a change, similar to Andy Reid in Philly, and it was beneficial for both of them afterward.

    I actually respect Tomlin for making the decision to leave; otherwise, Rooney would have stayed with him forever.
