Is this Tomlin's last year?

Yet another example of other coaches playing chess and Tomlin playing Tiddlywinks.

 

I think it’s important to understand that there will be multiple organizations interested in hiring Mike Tomlin. I don’t fully understand why, but I know it’s a real thing.

My main concern, as it has been for years, is the inconsistency — the constant up-and-down style of play. From week to week, you never really know what kind of performance or outcome to expect.

Is Tomlin the sole reason for the decline of an otherwise stellar organization? Absolutely not. There are many pieces to this elusive puzzle. But after nearly 48 years as a fan, I can honestly say my interest is fading. Maybe it’s because of what I see on the field, or maybe it’s just age and how I choose to spend my time these days.

Bottom line: real changes need to be made. Like any organization, the buck stops at the top. Maybe it’s time for some wholesale changes? What's that old expression. "a change is as good as a rest".

 

If, as so many of you on here claim, everything boils down to Tomlin, blame, decisions, lack of decisions, playing time..........what difference does it make how many coaches are on the staff?

 

I accidentally voted YES. I meant to vote NO. Mike Tomlin will coach the Steelers as long as he likes.

 

Completely agree. The expectation for the steelers is winning championships and at least competing for championships. We have not been a championship caliber team in a decade. If a company missed expectations for revenue, profits, etc. for a decade, the CEO and probably the entire executive team would have been shown the door. Hell, in some companies, miss projections for 4 or 5 quarters in a row and you're getting bounced. The fact Tomlin is still here and getting extensions after the past 9 years of crap results is just pure negligence by the owners.

 

glad your paying attention. It was more than a decade ago...probably around the time he was getting in Jacoby Jones running path that he said something after a loss like "we didn't plan on that because I like to coach from my gut". The statement left me less than encouraged back then. Thank God he's stuck to that motto. The rest of the afc loves it because we haven't been a playoff threat since then.

 

And yet I hear some in the media and certainly on this board still breaking their back to defend him. Must be exhausting year after year I just do not get it at all. He hasn’t been a great coach in a decade plus!

 

Owner. The gummy worm Art II. The minority owners have no say.

They are above the mean (whatever that is) which the gummy worm covets and says Popcorn Bags Tomlin is a big part of that.

The Standard is Rinse and Repeat. Non losing and playoff blow outs.

The season ticket wait list is 20 years or longer. So Art II just bought another safe...

 

No it is not. He'll be for another 5 years
