What NFL HC is under the most pressure this postseason?

[3Rivers]

Under pressure from who? The fans, media or the team?

Tomlin has a lot of pressure from the media but I think he's pretty safe with ownership and their fan base. I also can't believe we've pivoted to Steelers have no shot, when weeks ago people were pumping up Wilson. The pressure really should be on the GM/org, they are just a slightly better version of teams that finish .500 every year. If you can't win with Russ wtf was the trade for? Another winning season participation trophy?

At some point we gotta realize the Steelers have no real vision.


If we're talking about pressure from the team then it's someone like Sirianni, Bills coach or Harbaugh if those teams collapse.

I'd say he's safer with ownership rather than the fanbase.

His HC choices brought them from 3-13 to 1 possession from the SB from 2022 to 2024

Nobody sane is dabbling the thought of firing that.

What they gonna say? Hey we’ve never even been to the SBs in this teams history. So we’ve gotta fire you for not winning the SB off the bat. Getting us our first conf finals, or even playoff win, in 34 years was cool and all but.. especially considering how we were performing before you. You’ve gotta go

Ain't no one say nothing about him getting fired. People should be looking at him fukking crazy if going for it on 4th downs like a mad man happens again this year.

He got the credit he deserved last season. This season they are the FAVORITE and if they don't get to the Super Bowl he SHOULD be shyt on. Are you really incapable of seeing that point?

1. Jones haven't been in the SB in 30 years, about the time he took over the operations. Not even made it to the conference finals.
2. Davis family haven't been in the SB in 40 years, the team probably had as many city changes as conference finals appearances.
3. Tomlin has seen 2 SBs, and in the 30 years since Dallas played Steelers they have 3 appearance. And 7-8 appearances in the conf. finals while Dallas has zero.


I don't know if you are trolling or don't know recent history of the teams

Also can I ask, how John Harbaugh has less pressure to win with his fully stacked teams over recent years than Tomlin with his over performing teams? Is it cause we black people always need to do 2x better as our dads used to tell us?

Dallas and Steelers are the premier franchises in the NFL.
It's been 15 years since the Steelers been to a super bowl.
About to be 16.
The lower standard Tomlin is held to compared to the cowboys who get shyt for not championships is something else.

I think it's because Sirianni is the childish appearing pencil neck looking guy while Campbell still looks like he could play a few snaps and doesn't act out like a child.

I agree, NFL fans and media make assessments based on aesthetics

Remember the saga of Eberflus

At some point, Sean has to the beat chiefs

I’ve been saying this since New England vs Seattle. There should be a psychological profile of coaches who don’t run the ball up the middle on the goal line. I’ve seen it too many times to believe it’s not a mental disorder over taking them in the moment.

Frfr. Some of those CACs are still annoyed a breh got the most stable head coach position in American sports instead of their kind of guys like Russ Grimm and Ken Whisenhunt. Had Whisenhunt beaten Tomlin in Super Bowl XLIII those CACs would have been even more

Tomlin, which is why I've been saying that the Ravens vs Steelers game is the most important one of the weekend.

It will only be so long that people can keep propping up his regular season record and disregarding his failures in the playoffs.

You could also add Nick Siriani to that list if they lose in the weekend as well.

it’s incredibly funny and interesting because people who said this season will go horribly wrong and had them winning less then 6 games are the same individuals who criticize him if he loses in the playoffs.

The only time I ever see you on here is when you're bytching about my comments.

For the record, I'm picking the Steelers today to upset the Ravens.

I wasn’t bytching about your comment. I was bytching about the perception of the so-called NFL experts who predict Tomlin will have a losing season and then towards the end of the season when they are in the playoffs, criticize him for his playoff record

 

[315]

It's interesting because McDermott will get shyt if they don't win but if he does it would also be one of the most impressive coaching seasons considering the meh talent on the team. Just like in the QB thread, they weren't expected to do this well this season

 

[Dorian Breh]

Ight I see why people were questioning Tomlin

That punt on 4th and inches was insanely cowardly even if it was just the second quarter.

I get what y'all are saying, but at times, there IS validity to it.

For example: Would either of you trust THIS to not screw up?

I would not trust Stinky to check my mail.

Hell, he would probably rip out my mailbox instead. @King Poetic

Then I would have to beat the shyt out of him with it.

 

[Peter Popoff]

If harbaugh cant at the very least get to a superbowl with this squad then serious conversations have to be had about his job, you have had the no 1 seed twice and never went to the superbowl and have been outcoached alot of times

I agree. But honestly Andy Reid & Bill Belichick are the goats.

Oh and.....

Belt 2 ass? (Gay ass nígga dıckriding @King_Kamala61 ) <<< Foot 2 neck

The easy answer, understandably so, is Tomlin just because it's been so long since they won a playoff game. However, I cannot recall the last playoff game they played where they were supposed to win or considered a betting favorite. Also, the Steelers have so much patience that I'd dare say the reason other teams lack patience is that Pittsburgh uses it all when it comes to coaches.

Therefore my answer is Nick Sirianni. Tomlin would be a close second, IMO.

I could have said McDermott, but I feel like McDermott is actually respected as a head coach -- he built the Bills into something before the likes of Allen came along -- while Sirianni is in a situation where most people think anybody could coach the Eagles to some kind of success. The Eagles, on paper, SHOULD get to the Super Bowl moreso than any other team. Even the Chiefs.

This juxtaposition always cracks me up. Sirianni and Campbell are the same coach but one of them is beloved and the other villified.

No. They are not. Sirianni damn near lost the team last season. To me, the Eagles under Sirianni are a team that, as good as they are, do not respond well when met with adversity or a team that won't lay down. To a man, the Lions will tell you that Campbell is a unifying force that gets the team to press on, hurdles be damned.

Sirianni has had arguably the most talented roster in the league going on 3 seasons now. Campbell's Lions literally got it out the mud.

Now CLEARLY, Sirianni does SOMETHING right but I couldn't tell you exactly what his effect is on the team. It's very easy to see Campbell's fingerprints on the Lions.

Also spot on analysis. For instance, if Tomlin coached Philly, team would be a bucket.

Steelers suck but he makes them relevant by building defensive mindset teams and bringing out the best in its players on offense as well. Pittsburgh bet not let that nıgga go or a good owner will pick him up and expose him as one of the most underrated HCs of all time.

2 birds, 1 stone referencing Sirianni. Philly is good but could be pushed to great with the right coach. Especially with the shıt with AJ Brown.
