    These kind of rankings leaver a lot to be desired. Haley is the one that called a dumb jet sweep when only needing inches for a first down.

    Belichick checks in at 29, McVay at 30 and Shanahan who is known for having a brilliant offensive mind ranks 27.

    This really doesn’t move the needle for why I would like to get a new HC.

    For anyone wanting to skip the article, Tomlin ranks dead last.

    You don't think Tomlin has a say in every fourth down? Haley wasn't around for the QB sweep vs. Jax in the playoffs in 2008...

    It’s a stupid example. You have the best coach in the league coming in at 29

    Exactly. Destroys all credibly IMO.

    Before I even clicked on the article I was thinking he'd be ranked 33rd or 34th anyway.

    I’m not sure I follow the methodology tbh. It’s not clear how the metrics they use are being calculated, and there doesn’t seem to be anything on number of attempts, or length to go on attempts, which would seem a more basic way of looking at success.

    I mean, the results would probably still show Tomlin in a bad light, but there’s a lot missing in terms of explaining their calculations

    Best coach in the league has other qualities. What does Tomlin do except win when he has superior talent?

    See I told you guys we have lots of problems. I’ve been telling you for a while and I’ll keep telling you until everyone agrees and tell me how smart I am.

    Coming up next is how we made a huge mistake taking a RB in the first round. Oh wait I already did that one.

    Coming up next our OL is garbage and we didn’t do enough in the off-season to fix it. Oh wait I already did that one.

    Big Ben stinks. Crap did that one too.

    Ownership stinks. Did that one too.

    Dang I’m running out of things to complain about. Maybe I’ll just regurgitate the same ones over and over and over oh yeah and over.

    The real question is which offense faces the most 4th downs

    It’s a flawed ranking, Thigpen summed it up.

    So I guess instead of talking about those things let's talk about nothing I guess. Not sure if you understand how a message board works. It sounds like in your mind the best forum would be one with little to no activity.

    When I saw post I thought Mike would be close to the top. I guess I'll be proud he is down around Bill, a Coach who lost the GOAT and has his team right back in the thick of things.

    The majority of the people here I can talk Steelers with cause they’re rational and have some give and take. Guys like Maddog aren’t posting cause they really want to discuss the state of the team. He has an agenda. It’s pretty clear what it is.
    You think I don’t get that the Steelers are a mess right now?
    Do I crack on guys like Blast, Thorn, Steel Elvis, Clive, Thigpen, Thor, Jeh, lizard , sodfather , 6 ,etc? No cause the offer rational civil discussion.
    But what is the common denominator with guys like Maddog, jujubean, mad drunk, Doo Doo, big bunch ,etc The same one sided rhetoric.

    At least a guy like Maddog may be renting a 4,000 square foot penthouse apartment. But a guy like you. You’re that guy from high school that I didn’t like that crashed on my couch one night after a party.
    Your game is extremely Bush league. It’s pretty laughable.
