This Love and Football looking ass nikka is a good coach, and pretty consistent too. So the point about him winning with Bill Cowhers players is irrelevant to me. However, nikkas acting as if they never heard of that criticism for a coach in this thread. People used to say Jon Gruden won the Super Bowl with Tony Dungys players when criticizing him.

True. I always found that argument weird because Gruden beat a guy who won the AFC title with "Gruden's players".

We not gonna play this game like the coach has no influence over his roster...
Exactly. It's commonly noted that Gruden won the Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's players but cats will be dense in this scenario because Cowher is a cac :coffee: Tomlin has needed a new change of scenery for several years if we're keeping it 💯. Still an great coach nonetheless.

His success is also hampering him. The non losing seasons guarantees he never had a chance to tank for high picks. That means you have to draft EXTREMELY well and over perform on your late round draft picks each year


To be fair the Steelers are fairly good at drafting and always seem to find late round/undrafted talent that should have been drafted higher. But attrition is catching up. Teams can have one or two bad years. Stock up on stud young talent and go from losers to contenders. You see it every year. The Steelers stay right in the middle. Good enough to squeak into the playoffs but nothing else

tomlin is the coach
to squeeze a playoff appearance out of pickett, trubisky and rudolph is a gawt damn miracle

The only knock on Tomlin is that he’s such a good coach he gets these teams that have no business to the playoffs. He can’t win the big one with this roster and he coaches too well to ever be in the mix for a top 3 draft pick

It's fair to ask what the fukk he saw in practice to play Trubisky's bum ass over Rudolph. Not saying Rudolph is Marino but Trubisky is horrific. shyt, I would say Rudolph is better than Pickett too yet he was third on the depth chart.

He's a good coach though. You can't have zero losing seasons on your coaching resume and be a bad coach. That's incredible, especially given the QB play the last four seasons. They need to get a real QB in there though. The organization has to stop fukking around.

I wanna see more flashy shyt from him. His teams should be swagged the fukk out in terms of play style.

Yeah yeah, i know, Pittsburgh, blue collar, etc.

Swag it the fukk out. Dont be pressured by the traditionalists.

-Cowhers players?
-'Frickin'?

Oh yea, that whole post smells like wet dog.
The racial makeup of the OP doesn’t make what he said not true. Tomlin hasn’t won in a very long time. I don’t think he deserves to be fired but he shouldn’t be void of any criticism. They got Bill up outta New England. What have you done for me lately??

Always found the Tomlin hate a little crazy to me. He underachieved with those Bell, Brown and Ben teams but a lot of teams underachieve. Honestly I think it had more to do with his diva QB than anything else. Also the narrative on Cowher is always funny, he didn’t win the big game until 05 and he was the coach for how long? He had some stacked rosters as well so save the excuses.

That being said…this has become a huge topic of discussion be it wrong or not. QB play in his conference isn’t getting weaker only stronger. Next season has to be a big year for him or I can actually see a move out of the building on horizon.
