Cause he lost the #1pick??
The NFL needs to have a lottery system for the draft. Maybe bottom 5 teams with a 35, 30, 20, 10, 5 percent chance of getting the #1 pick.
I think we can throw them in there - obviously will be new blood in Indy and Denver. Carolina is a maybe.
I can see Miami reaching out to him after they fire Josh Boyer as the DC, one of the all time worst defenses in recent memories for the Dolphins
Coaches and players should always play for the win. It's ok to rest starters to prep for playoffs or to test out younger players, give them experience when the W no longer means anything more then good feelings...but the planning and the players on the field should ALWAYS be with the idea of trying to win.
Vrabs is sitting in a very comfortable recliner, no hot seat there. The second half of the season was horrible but he’s there at least a few more years unless he chooses to leave. This was his first losing season. He’ll need to address the physical fitness of his players, two years in a row of having the most injuries isn’t good.
Saleh should be safe in the offseason, but expectations are going to be a lot higher next year for him.
That’s true. I think he’ll be fine, seems to be a decent coach if he has a competent QB.
Just pure speculation, but perhaps with the expectation of building around a potential franchise QB, team brass may want more of an innovative offensive minded coach to help develop the kid. Agree that Lovie is very well respected and a very good defensive coach, but perhaps they want some new blood - Lovie is much more old school.
I want to expand on this and broaden the conversation about the Houston Texans and my inability to want to see them turn it around.
That said, Playoffs or bust next year for him?
Motor City Dan CampbellMCDC?
Exactly
3-13-1 is good?
A lot of blame on the Texans, but how about the Colts DEF for letting it happen? I mean how many big plays/leads did they blow since Saturday took over? And not just the Minnesota game.
Probably, but I feel him and Steelers might at least agree to a separation. I know we hear about Rooneys, but the younger Rooneys are taking more involvement in the team and the decisions and they really have no honor in Tomlin.
I wouldn't want to be the guy who eventually fires him. Pretty menacing dude.
He is signed through 2024 and has never had a losing season. There aren't too many 0% chances out there but this one is pretty close.
They played competitively in several losses.
I can only wish my Dolphins were run and had the ownership and scouting department the Steelers have. And the stability?? Second to none.
There are several team fan bases here that would kill for that kind of futility.
I doubt that's the reason, unless the front office told him to lose the game and guaranteed him he won't be fired if he did. Much more likely is that he already knew he was likely going to be fired so he had no incentive to tank.
Teams would be lined up around the block to hire him. That would be pure stupidity.
That's simply not how the Steelers organization operates. Three head coaches in the past 50+ years
I think the causation may be the other way there. He knew they were ####canning him so he said, "Eff it, I'm going out with a win."
