I mean, as long as we're withholding credit for accomplishments that had far more to do with other people ...
Overall, I don't think we disagree that much. You think Tomlin is average, I think he's above average, mostly based on his overall management of the organization. But he's definitely a tier below the top guys in the league. Also, as I believe was discussed earlier in the thread, he's had the misfortune of coaching in a conference with the greatest coach/QB combo of all time, which has definitely limited his upside (his two SB appearances came in the year Brady was injured and the year the Pats were upset in the divisional round).
My main issue is with the people in this thread who seem determined to convince us all that he's Rich Kotite Jr.
