Is it time for Mike Tomlin to step aside?

I think he's an excellent motivator and seems fairly well organized. He appears to get the respect of his players and does most of those CEO responsibilities well.

I just don't think he's any kind of tactical mastermind, be it offense or defense. He's the kind of HC I think Dave Toub would amount to if he ever got a shot at it.

He needs to be surrounded by creative coordinators that can fill in some of his tactical deficiencies.

And y'know what? As much as I believe Tomlin has a clear ceiling, it's a LOT easier to find good coordinators than it is to find a coach that does the things well that Tomlin does.

So keep hunting for new coordinators and of course a new QB.

Canada is hot garbage.

Yeah - I can't imagine that guy is back next year.

But Tomlin/Butler is a nice start. I mean why couldn't they hire Matt Nagy? He made Alex Smith look elite - he could make Mason Rudolph look average, right?
