Football Is it time for Mike Tomlin to step aside? - Page 3

No doubt Mike Tomlin has been a great coach and got a lot from his teams over the years.

Now with Big Ben gone, a major rebuilding needed should he ride off into the sunset or look to go to a team that may be missing just a piece or two?

I think he could be a better fit now on other teams.

The Cowboys, Broncos and Raiders come to mind.

Am I being foolish?

Pittsburgh has so many holes it could be 3-4 years of subpar football.

What do you say?

Dallas need a RB and not too much more IMHO.

Dallas just isn't getting the most out of their players, especially Dak and Ezekiel.

Nah. Let's see what he does with a new QB. It's hard to judge him when he's had a geriatric at the helm for the past few years.

TJ Watt can't carry the whole team.

And yet still finished with a winning record. Why would he leave an organization that has had 3 or 4 HCs since the 70s?

I expect the John Harbaugh-Lamar marriage to end poorly.

Yep. The guy has never had a losing season. He's not going anywhere.

No, he needs to wallow around in mediocrity with crappy QB’s coming and going every couple of years.

That seems the only way Tomlin could possibly leave if he was traded for draft picks and seems like he would have to agree and I think he would rather work for the Rooneys than Jerry Jones.

Again - 3 HCs in the last 50 years.

What has given anyone the impression that they'd be interested in trading one?

Pollard can play. They don't need a RB - they just need to give the ball to their good one.

But what about the 10 years prior to that when he had a HoF quarterback at the peak of his abilities and managed to coax a mere 1 AFC Championship out of him?

The guy's won 3 playoff games in the last 11 seasons - that's the sort of track record that got Marty fired. And he did it with obscene talent at times.

I mean - I'm not sure Tomlin's actually a good coach either. I think he's probably an average but flawed one. The problem is that even those aren't easy to find.

I really don't understand why people keep putting Tomlin on the hot seat. It has to be comical to him at this point. Get a QB with a pulse, beef up that ol and get better in the secondary, and their back to being a thorn in our ass. And they can do all that in one offseason

As long as he does not step on the field and trip a player

Exactly, but while we’re on the subject, if in 5 years or so Andy retires, would you be willing to trade a pick for McVay or somebody like that?

He definitely didn't have a Tom Brady in his division for 10 years lol

yip!

Any other team might be tempted. The Steelers, like you said previously, are notoriously patient with their coaches.
