Disagree. The Steelers biggest problem is that Tomlin has a terrible eye for identifying top talent at OC and DC or his ego won't allow him to make a higher profile hire at those spots. I personally believe that's why he let Flores go to promote Austin. In 18 years, he has ZERO coaching tree...

He'll likely make it based on his perception within the media, his press conferences, and his non-losing season streak. His real success came in his first 4 years with the roster he inherited, and without those years, his resume is mediocre at best. And in most organizations, a coach who's won a...

No, they haven't. Unless all you count is SB victories. When it matteres most, Harbaugh has a .542 winning % in the playoffs, Tomlin is at .421. And a lot of Tomlin's losses have been brutal, giving up 48, 45, 42, 31, and 28 in his last 5 appearances, all loses. Heck, the only 3 playoff wins...

If Harbaugh hasn't won another playoff game 8 years from now, you can be relatively sure he'll be gone. Then, he'd be where Tomlin is in terms of playoff success today. His teams have won fewer than 10 regular season games once since 2018, and they've won at least 1 playoff game in 9 of his 18...

I'll never understand the logic of going for 2 when you score a TD down 15. Kick the extra point, make it a score game, and kick off. Now the onside kick is almost a must.

Scroll up. I already mentioned my thoughts on that and so have others. People who want Tomlin fired feel that way because of a lack of any real success in the past 14 years. He won with the team he inherited and not since. Only 4 of his 18 years with even a single playoff win and 8 one and...

For very, very different reasons.

The frustration with Cowher was because of the losses in the AFC Championship game, which were directly because of his loyalty to bad QBs. It was never about questioning his ability as a coach, questioning his ability to hire assistants, or saying his message was stale. Comparing anything...

Its laughable to compare Tomlin to Cowher. Cowher took over a struggling franchise and built them into an annual contender. Tomlin took over a ready-made Super Bowl contender coming off an 8-8 year only because of Ben's motorcycle accident, won with them for a few years, and turned them into...

It's been moee than 5 years, my friend. Since Bell and Brown moved on, it's been 7 of the last 8 seasons now of between 8 and 10 wins, and their last 3 playoff seedings have been 7, 7, and 6. The only team that won more games was Ben's last good year, the 12 win team in 2020 that started out a...

The Steelers biggest shortcoming for the past however long hasn't been talent. It's been coaching. The talent is the reason they can overcome the poor coaching and win enough games to squeak into the playoffs, often as a 7 seed that didn't even used to exist. Some people scoff at the reality...

After. The play before, they got into a shoving match and both got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. After the next play, they got into a little again and that's when Chase spit. Ramsey's reaction to the spit was to hit him in the facemask. Ramsey was ejected because they had each received...

It's well documented that a vast majority of the actual success he's had as a head coach came in his first 5 years, largely with an inherited roster, prior to 2011. Since then, they've only won a playoff game in a total of two seasons. In almost any other franchise, he wouldn't have the...

The Steelers don't have any stars in their prime on defense. It's highly paid because of the names on it and what they used to be. It's clear that Ramsey and Slay aren't close to what they used to be and it's just as clear the Porter Jr isn't close to being a star. Watt isn't winning as often...

I wonder how much their ability to pay a QB big money is impacted by paying a declining TJ Watt $40M per year. I don't see the Steelers making a play for an expensive QB via free agency or trade.
