I was one that felt that was a bad look him going to the ring of honor ceremony in the middle of the season. Him and Kraft were plotting
You see it right? Tomlin ain’t never had a losing season and dragged a compilation of Trubisky, Rudolph, and Picket to the playoffs but Vrabel gets a pass after two losing seasons because he couldn’t work it out with Tannehill and Derrick Henry in a weaker division?This is my problem from the reactions I'm seeing. Whether it's traditional NFL talking heads or the analytics crowd, everyone is acting like this is an egregious decision when the reality is that anyone else with this type of record (especially a black coach...) would be thrown into the bushes while people said "the team needs a new voice to take them to that next step." Hell they just drafted a rookie QB who looks really good and I'm not seeing many people whipping out the typical "you need to hire an offensive mind" talking point that happens in every other case like this. It's been weird.
On the flip side a lot of these same people were saying Tomlin should be fired a couple weeks ago tho. I'm not trying to turn this into a race thing but it's just interesting how that "leader of men" shyt only matters when you look a certain way.
