Tomlin's not a big fan of those extended endzone "celebrations" either

    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

      To be fair, "I can't get you a contract, Bruce," is passive-sounding enough to support the idea that the decision to fire Arians wasn't Tomlin's.


      We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

      HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

        we made the AFCCG 2 years ago.

        We made the SB in 2011 and then after a year or 2 we went further and further in the playoffs.

        Once again, you are making stuff up.

        and this whole "Tomlin can't fire and hire" is so odd. It's like you guys make up anything you can to discredit Tomlin.

        What next, Tomlin rents and doesn't own his home?

          So it was Tomlin's decision but did he have to clear it thru Rooney/Colbert? That's what I want to know.

            I mean.. it's a franchise. I think the "Tomlin can't hire or fire" is pretty silly.

            Not sure why it matters how much "power" Tomlin has...

            The Steelers have always been a tight knit FO so even if Tomlin fired or hired someone I would expect him to talk to the FO about it.

            He doesn't own the team.

              JUST THIS OFFSEASON....

              Tomlin hired Randy Fichtner to be his new offensive coordinator after Todd Haley's contract expired and was not renewed,

              Tomlin hired Karl Dunbar to be his defensive line coach after John Mitchell's duties were re-assigned to be include more player development/community relations/former player outreach duties as opposed to on-field coaching duties.

              Tomlin hired Tom Bradley to be his defensive backs coach after Carnell Lake opted to move back to California to be a part of his youngest son's final year of high school football.

              Tomlin hired Darryl Drake to his his wide receivers coach after Richard Mann retired.

              I'm sure that Tomlin had zero input in any of these coaching hires, right?
              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                But you don't get it Ruthless, he had to get permission from his masters to hire all of these guys and most of them are all internal guys that were on the staff from 5 years ago...when he was still the coach.

                This thread has gotten completely ridiculous...you idiots act like you are in the office while these decisions are being made. you are given proof (arians article/quotes) but manage to spin it still. Who the eff cares. Its a business. I'm a manager, i can fire and hire people, but I'm still going to clear it with people above my paygrade. Its how BUSINESS works. Freakin amateurs here...

                Gotta read an FAQ on muting...need some help here guys.

                  FAAAAAKE NEWWWWS

                  Tomlin didn't do that.

                  Were are the receipts? The phone records? The pink slip with his signature on it?

                    Yeah..this has gotten hilariously ridiculous. And to be truthful, right now that's not where our focus or the front office focus needs to be.

                    Squid, do me a favor? Can you table the Tomlin bashing right now? Let's let him & Colbert square away the Bell situation and then get the players in place. Once he gets everything in place the way he wants, THEN if he flames out again, then by all means, have at him. I'll help you if it comes to that.

                    But for right now, let's get all the chess pieces in place for a Super Bowl appearance.

                          Exactly, those in management get it. I can hire and fire my own staff but I sure as hell will check with my CEO before I do.
                          Trolls are people too.
