By never really bottoming out or having a bad year, you are constantly drafting no better than like 18th, this means your team loses talent and without a generational QB, you are what they are.

He's Jeff Fisher with better press.
If I were a Steelers fan, I'd absolutely be ready to move on from Mike Tomlin. The issue isn't even that he's a bad coach -- it's that he's an average coach and a bad CEO.
If you're a guy who doesn't have a coaching tree to speak of. Who doesn't call plays or design concepts. If you're a guy who's sole role appears to be as a motivator then you HAVE to have good coordinators.
He doesn't. Ever. Because the guys he wants in those roles simply aren't creative enough. Has a Tomlin coordinator ever gone on to have a HC role? Does his 'coaching tree' have even a single branch?
I don't believe it does.
And honestly, I don't think it ever will because he's just not a guy who's going to go find a young coaching phenom and give him the keys.
Tomlin is more part of the problem than a solution at this point.
