Mike Tomlin basically guarantees they don't bottom out, for most owners that's good enough, he won a SB and got to another.
This is literally the epitome of 500 or better and playoffs a lot of years as the known beats the unknown of maybe going 5-12 |

I never understood why tomlin, however, gets credit for controlling difficult personalities. It seems he either gravitates toward head cases or is completely incapable of controlling them. AB, leveon, Martavius Bryant, claypool, probably Pickens… Diontae is a bit extra too. He doesn’t seem to mind churning and burning head cases and milking a few years out of them. Which helps in huge ways but also kills them at times too.

They got backed into a corner with Pickett.
They needed a QB he was the only one with a 1st round grade and he went to Pitt, I think they felt like they had to take him if he was there. |

I'm actually kinda interested to see them with Wilson this year. He's not what he once was, but I kinda think they could be a bit of a darkhorse in that division.

One of the biggest problems the Steelers have also had is finding an OC.
Having a defensive minded HC is such a ****ing pain in the ass. You either can't find a good OC, or you do, and he's gone after 1-2 seasons. I 100% prefer an offensive minded HC in today's NFL unless I already have an establish upper echelon franchise QB. |

But McVay, Shannan, LaFleur, Taylor, Steichen, etc. there are plenty of young offensive minded coaches that are doing a great job. I swear you people are absolutely clueless about the NFL outside of KC. |

If I'm an NFL owner hiring a new head coach, and I can take either Tomlin or a young unproven OC from somewhere, I'd be tempted to go Tomlin if I had a vet QB already in place. But if I'm starting from scratch? There's no way I'd hire any defensive guy ever. Not a young guy, not Tomlin, and not even Belichick. |

I've never really compared him to some of the other middle of the road coaches because he's had plenty of 12-4 type seasons. It's only in the last 5 years where he's had middling QB play where they're just scraping by. He's been to 2 Super Bowls and got a win. That's more than most coaches will ever do.
He's not a QB guru but I don't know why every coach has to be. He definitely can get a lot out of a team. If the NFL really goes down this private equity route Mike Tomlin is basically going to be the perfect NFL coach. You'll have a front office running things through analytics and buying all the groceries basically, and the coach will be expected to follow the front office and make the most out of the talent he's given. |
