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

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? [Reply]

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. [Reply]
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 [Reply]

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? [Reply]

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

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