We can use a similar excuse when Tomlin had to start a Rudolph and Duck at QB for a season.
You could put blame on LeBeau and his defense being schooled. Ryan Mundy guessed wrong when he came up to the LOS. The #1 defense in the league...
Amazing how an entire season of football, over 1,000 plays, could come down to a single play in determining the chances for a SB title. btw, I...
McDonald was the real deal DC in Baltimore. Fans are still wailing he got away.
The ultimate one; Pete Carroll cheering a burning American flag in the lockerroom a few years back. That sent my folks into a tizzy about the NFL....
There's not a conspiracy theory that Joel doesn't love... :beathorse:

Depending on his record vs the division it would be a big deal. If a HC can't win in the division why would you consider him for the job?
Play smarter, not harder. Guys running wide open with no defender around.
Spent most of his time with players. But the tree thing is overblown. Know who else had a pathetic coaching tree? Bill Belichick.

So you want the new coach to win with Tomlin's players? And if they have a losing season who gets the blame, Tomlin or the new guy?
An example was the 2015 Steelers. This was a coach that got the team to the divisional round with an offense that fielded sixteen different OL...
Kyle Shanahan is one of the brightest coaches in the league, but even he endured back-to-back losing seasons with the San Francisco 49ers while he...
It's not 'hubris and complacency'. It's a belief in a system that brought them sustained success over many years. As with any system, it can...
As The Athletic says, structural and operational changes are needed to stay ahead of the top teams. "It’s no secret in NFL circles the Steelers...
Belichick was arguably the GOAT coach and is HOF bound but even he couldn't pull off what Tomlin did when he lost his HOF franchise QB. In fact,...
