At that point Felix Jones had been on the team a total of 3 1/2 hours and it's Tomlins fault that he went out of bounds? Sure, I agree there are some discipline problems that the coaching staff should settle, but that is mostly on the individual and maybe even the team leaders. I recommend a Private Pyle soap beating every time someone screws up.
Still not sure how you people complain about a coach that has already won a Super Bowl and has been to another.
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
Yep really sad.

On the other hand, while I like Mike Tomlin and the way he goes about his business and never makes excuses for himself or the team, you have to admit that over the past three years the mental mistakes, lack of special teams play and at times what appears to be a lack of effort at some point reflect on the coach,it's the nature of the job.

I like Tomlin. I think he is a solid coach. But, you can't ignore the fact that his teams have been oft penalized and have gotten hurt in the give away/take away department. I seen some stats comparing these two crucial stats to Cowhers and it was an impressive drop from Cowher to Tomlin. There isn't anyone else I want as coach right now, but I hope Tomlin is alert to some of the appearances of sloppy undisciplined ball played under his regime. And while I dont think Tomlin is on the hot seat, if he puts up another 8-8 or worse...he will be.
