Why do I get the feeling there is something about Tomlin leaving that we are not being told about

Sometimes, in the middle of a game!

I don't think there's any deep secret as to why Tomlin resigned. 19 years as a head coach is a long time, and he hasn't been competitive in the playoffs for nearly a decade. Maybe part of it was that he feared breaking Marvin Lewis' record of losing the most consecutive playoff games? Who really knows? It was wise of him to step down now (it's not like he needs the money), take a year off, and come back in 2027 with a fresh perspective. Maybe he'll coach again, maybe he won't. I wish him luck in whatever path he choses to follow.

 

There was an OL years ago who quit mid season

But he was accepted to Medical school and didn’t want to hurt his hands

 

Tomlin will probably take Bradshaw's job on FOX

 

I doubt that we will ever know. Publicly, I believe you said that he would take Tomlin back for next year and that it was tomlin's decision to step away. That could be the straight up truth, or maybe it was one of those face-saving statements made after a hard conversation between the two of them.

Art's comments about always wanting to be competitive actually makes me wonder a little bit if he had a hand in pushing to plug the holes each year and be able to make a run at the playoffs rather than building the team right.

 

TJ has been in the playoffs 5 times. Two of those years he was a rookie and the other was this year where he should have been out for the year from almost destroying his lungs.


You wanna compare 3 games to 19 years? Does TJ call the shots for himself or a team?

 

Well we aren't all retired German engineers so let me thank you for bumping this thread.

If you have something else to add,please do so.

A look at me follower I seem to have.
