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.

I'm actually surprised he isn't fired yet. They have been very loyal, but he's simply not good now.
