James Harrison doesn't think Tomlin is a hall of fame coach

Agreed.
I laugh that it means nothing. If You don't have it , You don't even get a chance at the playoffs, and You damn well can't win a playoff game if You can't get to it. Also of it was as easy as some make it out to be, all HCs would never have a losing season.

 

Put it this way. If he doesn't make it in, a lot of HCs already there should be taken out.

 

Answer this one question since everyone else would have fired him.
In the history of the whole NFL, name me one HC that has won a SB, been to another, and never had a losing season that got fired??
I mean If every other team ,in your words ,would have fired him, then find me that one, just one example.
If You can't, You are just talking out of your real mouth.

 

So true.
So sad.
JH the little man.

 

Like Cowher

 

Not arguing but nitpicking but his 19 years had not happened at the time of his interview so technically it wasn’t part of his qualifications

Ok I’ll run along now

 

Exactly how was he not qualified

Or are you just spewing hatred and bullsh!t

 

According to same article
There is other former Steelers that got responses like that from Tomlin
But
It’s the internet
Fact or fiction
Apparently doesn’t matter
If it’s on the internet it must be true

 

Bro, I'm saying to ME the streak doesn't matter. Put it this way if one of those seasons was 7-10 and you don't have 19 straight would that or should that really change your one's opinion of him. I just think that stat is a red herring to me. It just doesn't matter to ME. If he had won 3 lombardis that would be way more impressive to me and I would think he lived up to the potential with the talent he had.

 

Tomlin will be a Hall of Famer, however, I agree with Deebo.....
Tomlin went to 2 Superbowls, winning one, all on the strength of a team built by Bill Cowher.
Since those players rode off into the sunset, we're been middle of the pack

 

His playoff record is the biggest mark against him, but the no coaching tree thing is dumb.

 

What about having the highest winning percentage in Steelers history or tying Noll for regular season wins .

 

That could not possibly sound more ignorant

 

Harrison still bitter he got benched for Watt and Dupree; I guess Joey Porter said they told Harrison before the season his playing time was going to be cut.

 

John Harbaugh was special teams coordinator before he got the Ravens job, was he qualified for the job to begin with?

 

Clown huh? Whoever this Chris Maxwell is, I’d like him to go call James Harrison a clown to his face. Harrison starting in 2007 has nothing to do with Mike Tomlin directly. It was a tactical money move because Joey Porter went for bigger money in Miami. Dick LeBeau is who believed in James Harrison.

Some of these ****ers need to stop acting like they know what’s going on when they dont.

 

Tomlin was the HC, so he has the final say as to who starts duh .

 

Sure it was.

 

Mike Tomlin is a Hall of Fame coach.

Nearly 200 wins.

He's been to two Super Bowls.

He won a Super Bowl.

He never had a losing season. Don't laugh. It is an accomplishment that everyone is going to talk about for a long, long time.

He is the most quoted NFL head coach since Vince Lombardi. Maybe the most quoted and reported ever.

This stuff matters.

He walks right into the HOF.

 

Belicheck and Tomlin should thank their stars that they had hall of fame qbs. None of them would be hall of famers if they had gone to Cleveland or Detroit. Cowher owned Belicheck in Cleveland. Jim Caldwell was 15-1 with Peyton Manning at Indy and at Detroit went 0-16. Tomlin without Ben is at best Marty Schottenheimer , who got success in regular season in Cleveland and KC, but had a mediocre playoff record. Some may argue that Schottenheimer did more with talent he had at Cleveland than Belicheck ever did, yet Belicheck will waltz into HOF and Schottenheimer won’t get a sniff.

 

If Tomlin deserves to be in the HOF then Barry Switzer does too. Both won Super Bowls with teams that had already won a Super Bowl with current players on the roster. Tomlin is Switzer part 2. Let me just say this....if you lose to Tim freakin Tebow in the playoffs....you should never be allowed in the HOF as a head coach.

 

Without a doubt Tomlin is going to the hall of fame but he also might not. Depends on whether enough people vote him in. I stake my reputation on that.

 

He certainly will (particularly since the voters are going to love him). I understand the argument though. He was a really consistently good regular season coach that is loved by players and media. He had a killer 5 year stretch, but over time he became a playoff liability whose teams tended to wilt when the lights shined the brightest (I’d argue that he just had a harder time winning when single game coaching mattered the most, he was just outclassed by guys that are just better coaches than him). Despite a consistent 9-10 wins every year, his teams were wildly inconsistent in-season, often riding high highs and low lows. Lots of multi game winning and losing streaks, and for whatever reason he uniquely struggled against really bad teams.

His story is told in sagas, first 5 years elite, next 5 years Mike McCarthy, last 9 years Marvin Lewis.

There’s no shot he doesn’t make it, but I still think it’s fair to think he doesn’t deserve to be considered an all time great coach. He was a good one, though. No doubt about that.
