I've Always Been a Tomlin Supporter BUT......

[WindyCitySteel]

Oh, and flashback to training camp. The more this dope touches, the more things go to crap.

Mike Tomlin has been more actively involved in what the defense will be doing in 2015, and it’s already been evident at training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Tomlin has spent periods of several days this week working with the cornerbacks and safeties on zone coverages similar to what he employed when he was the secondary coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.


It’s the first time since he became head coach in 2007 that Tomlin outwardly has put his imprint on the defense and changed the way the Steelers play in the secondary. He didn’t do it his first eight years out of deference and respect for LeBeau, a Hall of Fame player and one of the greatest assistant coaches in NFL history.

Not to mention taking the ball out of Ben and ABs' hands and putting them in Landry and AVs' hands on the fake FG. Completely braindead call that resulted in a 10-pt swing that changed momentum and cost us a win.

He's a terrible football coach. Hoping we lose out, he gets fired, and Munchak - the best coach on the roster - takes over.

munchak isnt qualified

munchak isnt qualified

I disagree. He turned Gilbert from a bum into a Pro Bowler, has Wallace playing competently and is working with a freaking Army Ranger wide receiver converted to left tackle.

He had garbage to work with in Tennessee. He will get another shot somewhere and we'll be stuck with Billy Ray Valentine.

I would have liked us to go for it on 4th and goal. Doesn't mean we would make it but I would have preferred it over the field goal. 500 plus yards of O. Our issues are on D both at OLB and and on the back end. We need to clean that up to consistently win in this league.

for the first time in like forever... I don't see a pile of "Tomlin" guys coming to his rescue for a comment like this one.... which, by the way... I agree with your thoughts. My point is, folks might be coming around the idea that Tomlin may not be here long term...with the continued "Middle of the pack" teams that he's been the HC of these past several years.

Well its Sunday and we just lost in Seattle. Most fans probably arent on here because its a holiday weekend and most had this game as a loss when the season started.

I know, and that makes me sad. He has absolutely no accountability at all. Unless you think this team can win three road playoff games (I'll wait for you to stop laughing to reply), this will be the fifth straight year we haven't had a serious contending team.

Ben's prime has been wasted. ****ing shame.

Hoping we lose out

This is not a surprising revelation from WCS. Congratulations on getting what you wanted today. Enjoy rooting against the Steelers for the rest of the year.

To quote Cyndi Lauper, "I see your true colors shining through..." Nice Trading Places reference when talking about hiring a black coach too, Louis Winthorpe.

I'm not crazy. Thank goodness someone has the balls to call it like they see it...

Not sure where all the Tomlin hate is coming from. He made a few judgment calls that were always going to be questioned.

We had three picks turned into TDs. The Landry Jones trick pick, and two of Ben's picks. Ben's first pick was on him. The second should have been a PI. That's 21 points. Its tough to get back from.
Wilson is an outstanding QB. Our D played very well through nearly two and a half quarters -- the scores they got were from the picks.

It was a bad game, but at least some of it was bad luck, and the rest cascaded.

after FA and the draft the Steelers will have one of the most talented teams in the league next year. I think Colbert realizes he has to draft a stud in the secondary to get any production as Tomlin obviously cannot develop any. So expect a safety or cornerback to be the first pick and wouldn't surprise me to see multiple picks either. Any coach should be able to get the Steelers to 12 wins next season and a deep run in the playoffs. So no, don't expect Tomlin to go anywhere because the talent will win out and he'll again be talked up by his fanboys as a top coach even though he really isn't. But I won't care because as long as he just stands on the sidelines and keeps his mouth shut like he did in 08 they can win a SB. Any input..and I mean any..and it'll end up like 2010 or worse.

Did the Rooneys ever actually interview Ron Rivera? I can't remember whether they did but I do know that he was a candidate way back then. Instead they, in their wisdom, selected that ding dong Tomlin who we're stuck with now.

I wanted them to win today. I wanted them to beat a good team on the road, show improvement coming off the bye week, show that they have learned something.

Instead, I got another Tomlin slopfest.

It will never end until he is gone. He's flown this team into the ground.

8-8 with this talent should result in firing. Instead, he'll probably get a five year extension.

Those weren't pick sixes. In every instance, Tomlin's defense had a chance to stop the Seahawks.

The secondary he took under his wing in the preseason, the one he refuses to insert Boykin in or remove Blake from, the one that is the worst in the NFL, was torched for a touchdown every single time.

This is the team he built and that he coaches.
