Mike Tomlin
 

Rumors out of Pittsburgh are that some of their board members will be lobbying for a coaching change

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...aching-change/

Would you be open to Tomlin as our DC if that happens?

DC? Of course, lol.

But there isn't a chance in hell he's taking a DC job.

He wouldn't take a demotion. He would not have a hard time finding another HC gig.

He won’t be out of a job for long.

As a DC? no. As a head coach? Hell yes.

Tomlin has been to 2 Superbowls since being the coach of the Steelers, winning 1, and you think hes going to take a demotion if he is fired by the Steelers?

I think I speak for everyone when I say ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

And yet Chiefs give Andy Reid extension and keep Sutton....

Most of the teams with HC opening are going with offensive guys to groom their young QBs. I agree, it’d be hard to see him take a demotion but I also wouldn’t be shocked to see him wait for the right opportunity and be a DC for a few years at the right place

Terry Bradshaw was right about this guy being a cheerleader. Do not want. We've already got a HC that won't use common sense when it comes to basic football.

Now way that happens. Three coaches since 1969 and current coach has 48 wins including playoffs in 4 years. Not exactly the Steeler's M.O. :rolleyes:

Ya, like replacing Gruden in the booth.

Fire Reid's big ol' butt and bring Tomlin in for a look.

Yeah good point, that’s probably more realistic

Tomlin for DC Revis for Secondary coach!!1!

If Tomlin is fired, which I wouldn't fault the Steelers for as he can't beat the Patriots(or even get to them in this year's scenario)and his teams are never buttoned up with their talking and social media nonsense, he probably becomes the next Gruden. He's great with the media. He can go do TV for a few years and either wait for BB to retire or take an NFC job down the road. I see no scenario where he becomes a DC

Tomlin's not an X's and O's guy, he' more of a CEO type.

I don't think he's a fit for a coordinator position.

Plus, teams like the Titans and Cardinals would line up to hire him.

The Colts, too.

Yep

His downfall is continually letting the egos of his players override what is best for the team.

Oh Noes!

Titans and Colts both want McDaniels for their young QB. Palmer just retired as well so I bet the Cardinals go with an offensive guy to groom the QB they draft as well

It starts at the top.

CHunt is content with what Reid offers. Not every team is so complacent.

Racism. Reported

Yep,when you have a superstar tweeting about the rematch with the Pats before you've even played the Jags you have a serious control issue.

Lighten up, Francis.

I don't see Bob Kraft even entertaining the possibility of that.

A QB coach is hired to "groom" or coach up a young QB, not a Head Coach.

Any and all of those teams would be absolutely foolish to pass on a 2 time Super Bowl winner in favor of Josh ****ing McDaniels.

No, I mean wait for BB to retire before he takes over an AFC team. I'm kinda kidding. I'm sure he would take an AFC job, but he's not beating the Pats until BB is gone

Tomlin is not getting fired this year. If he did, he'd have new HC job in about an hour.

Got it.

Idk Dane. McDaniels has been said to really understand the X’s and O’s instead of just being a motivator like Tomlin. Tomlin inhereited a HOF QB, a very good scouting team giving him great talents and a culture of defense.

I feel like Andy has taught me that I would take the X’s and O’s coach compared to a motivator like Haley who gets outcoached.

Tomlin is awful.

**** no, scum bag

I get that but from an ownership perspective, who's resume is more impressive? If you were a Titans or Colts fan, would you be amped up if they hired Josh McDaniels, a failed head coach or a 2 time Super Bowl winning coach?

Mariotta needs to be coached up but the talent is definitely there.

Any head coaching candidate should be weary of taking the Colts job. The owner is a mess, the roster is a mess, the QB may or may not be healthy, etc. The owner also consistently got in the middle of Pagano and Ryan Grigson (who was a terrible hire from the onset) but I'd be concerned that history would repeat itself.

He should be fired if what Big Ben said today is true that he is not allowed to call his own plays or audible. I mean wtf..

If I calculated correctly, Tomlin is 8-7 when Ben isn’t starting. That’s with starting QBs Charlie Batch, Michael Vick, Dennis Dixon, and Landry Jones

This is why the Steelers win championships, they don't settle. They have expectations and good just isn't good enough. Wish we had that in KC

Because?

Never gets old.

Mike Tomlin - 11 seasons, 116-60 (.659), 8-7 postseason record, 1 AFC Championship, 1 Super Bowl

Andy Reid - 19 seasons, 183-120 (.604), 11-13 postseason record, 1 NFC Championship, 0 Super Bowls

So in 8 seasons, Reid has only coached 11 more games?

Corrected

I love how they have their horrid "playoff slogan" with 18 different sponsors just for them to get bounced on wild card weekend by this years 8-8/9-7 playoff scrubs. This team has become a recurring SNL skit with a different guest host starring each year. This year's host....Fraaaaaank Zooooomboooooo! Musical guest....Chumbawamba!

Big Ben > McNabb

Quit being a ****ing idiot about Andy Reid.

Behind every great QB is a coach just waiting to be given credit...

Not saying Andy Reid is better. Tomlin just isn't very good. He won championships with Cowhers players and hasn't been back since. His players run the asylum. he's a defensive coach with a shit defense. Makes terrible game calls, and gets bailed out by otherworldly talent. You guys are suffering from grass is greener syndrome.

Ok, McNabb wasn't good enough? Have it your way then.

19 seasons, 0 super bowl good-enough quarterbacks developed.

Bring him in for a look. He'd be the best looking cheerleader on the team.

Makes me wonder if the team that hired him that quickly would need to interview anyone else to fulfill the Rooney rule. :)

Haley working behind the scenes to sabotage his boss again.

All true.

This is scary

His coaching in the Jags game made Andy look like a genius

Bullshit.

The co-owners of the Steelers couldn’t give a shit about Todd Haley, who is most likely gone, regardless of Tomlin’s status.

You could argue the longer AR coaches the more DMcNb deserves to be in HOF:D

How many people are hoping that Mahomes ignores Andy and runs his own plays in the 4th quarter? LMAO

Its shocking to me how long Haley has survived in Pittsburgh. Big Ben hates his ass. And if I was the HC, I'd say fine Ben, lets put our heads together and get a new OC.

don't need that race-baiting POS on this team, already have one dumbass in Marcus Peters.

Actually, it sounds like you're the dumbass here

noyou

shit

Haley was surely responsible for the pitch out on 4th and inches.

Ben's offense has never been the same since Haley's arrival that is for sure.

You mean like in 2014 when he was just shy of 5000 yards?

Tomlin as a DC? You crazy? Dude would get head coaching offers literally the second Pittsburgh let him go.

There's nobody not named Harbaugh that's a better coach on the market than Tomlin. It would be stupid to fire him just like it would be stupid to fire Reid.

Nightmare material... thanks!!

don't want nuthin from the steelers on this team.
sec

This. It’s not going to happen because there’s no one currently available to replace him who’s better

I'd take AB

Wrong. He went back to the SB in 2010 and lost to Aaron Rodgers. He also lost to the eventual SB winners in 2015 in the Donkos. He lost in 2016 to the eventual SB winners in the Patriots.
He must be a horrible coach to have ONLY gone to the playoffs 7 of his 10 years there while winning a SB and competing in a second one. Oh and I am sure that Cowher is the one that put all of those people on that roster and they are all still there 10 years later. :rolleyes:

I don't like Tomlin either but at least be real about his accomplishments and ability.

You're giving too much credit to Tomlin for good players making great plays.

I won't pick through point by point as I don't feel like typing that dang much, but I will say I think you're giving Tomlin credit for things may have witnessed, but certainly did not accomplish. You think he actively accomplishes things, while I think he just sits there and is lucky enough for them to happen by insane plays and pure player skill.

On the NFL Network, one of the analysts said Tomlin “is the Alex Smith of head coaches”. His cohort said, “Actually, he’s the Andy Reid of head coaches.”

Cowher is probably the most overrated coach in history.

Haley turned Ben into an elite QB. Roethlisberger was basically Alex Smith before Haley.

16 game averages in 8 seasons before Haley:

Yards: 3730
Comp %: 63.1%
TD/INT: 23/14
QB Rating: 92.1


16 game averages in 6 seasons with Haley:

Yards: 4556
Comp %: 65.2%
TD/INT:31/14
QB Rating: 96.0

Its pretty easy to see why Haley is still around when you look at how he turned Ben into an elite QB.

LMAO

I'm not the biggest Haley fan around either after the bullshit job he did here, but his results as OC speak for themselves.
