    For me things can only get better. If McCarthy does well and wins playoff games it’s a huge accomplishment and step in the right direction. If we don’t win a playoff game it’s the same as having MT here because he hasn’t won one in a decade. So for me there is only possible upside. I couldn’t care less about 10 wins and a 30 point WC loss vs winning 6 or 7 games and not making the playoffs. Both results equally suck.

    Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin holds a career NFL playoff record of 8-12 (.400 winning percentage). Most of those wins came early in his tenure using players he inherited from Bill Cowher. He also relied on coordinators he didn’t hire, including Bruce Arians and Dick Lebeau to win the vast majority of his playoff games. When they left, we were essentaily done winning playoff games.

    An 8-12 playoff record is simply not good enough. Among all Hall of Fame coaches (a group Tomlin is not, and should not, be part of), a .400 playoff winning percentage would rank dead last on the totem pole.

    I have a friend who is inside the Steelers organization and he said Tomlin's ego was so huge he didn't believe he needed anybody else. I think that is evidenced by the coaches he let go and the coaches he hired.

    I dont think that is true either, tomlin coached Ben for the majority of his career and Ben was most definitely a gunslinger. Also I would say the league has shifted away from the gunslinger offense and focused more on time of possession. The reason Tomlin didnt have great playoff success over the last decade is most likely due to QB play and not some inability to adapt. Andy Reid has been running his offense forever, so for example: Reid was 10-9 in the playoffs in Philly and then 18-7 in KC, he is still running his same offense he just has Patrick Mahomesat QB.
