Tomlin new HC for Steelers - Page 2

Mike Tomlin of the Vikings is the new HC in Pittsburgh. Just reported. Only leaves the Raiders without a HC.

I'm sorry, but their #1 ranked rush D was because of Pat and Kevin Williams, and the Vikings horrible pass defense. This guy had pretty much nothing to do with it.

This sounds like a decently dumb hire.

Just talked to a couple buddies of mine (both huge Steelers fans) and they're pumped about it. They were mostly worried about them hiring Grimm, which they didn't want. Ron Rivera was who they really pined for, but feel that Tomlin is a young firey guy with a defensive background.

Plus, the Steelers aren't the kind of organization to make stupid, hasty decisions.

Interesting that the Steelers applied the Peter Principle when evaluating Grimm's potential as a head coach.

Too bad the Chiefs didn't do the same before promoting Solari to offensive coordinator.

Then again, Solari is exactly what Herm wanted in an offensive coordinator. An unqualified stiff who would serve as a puppet for Herm's ultra-conservative offensive gameplans.

Steelers | Tomlin denies being hired
Sat, 20 Jan 2007 14:42:45 -0800

Updating a previous item, ESPN.com reports Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin has denied a SportsIllustrated.com report that he has been hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as their next head coach. Tomlin told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that no decision has been made. "It is untrue. I have no idea where it's coming from. I have not talked to the Rooneys today," Tomlin said. Sources told ESPN.com's John Clayton the report was incorrect, and the team is not expected to make a decision Saturday, Jan. 20.
