serious question for the tomlin fans

[squidkid]

i dont think anyone, or very few, will step up and answer this, but ill ask anyway.

lets say tomlin is fired. what do you really think will happen to this team next year and the coming years (regular season and post season record wise)?
and if you think it will be much worse, why? what did/does tomlin do that the next guy wont?

what exactly are you afraid of?

Let's be a bit more fair and also ask, "What do you expect going forward if Tomlin stays?"

north coast?

I know this question isn't addressed at me... but the new feeds are flooded today with insinuations that the team lacks accountability and discipline. I think it will be very interesting to see who goes to bat for MT (or doesn't) in the next few days..

The only thing I've seen so far... is Pouncey being in disbelief at the outcome... due to this being "The most talented team he's ever been apart of"....
and the only thing I've heard Ben say thus far... is that he will be back next year if Pouncey comes back lol

Defining "Tomlin fan" would help.

I've seen people here say he shouldn't be fired (and that poll seems to indicate that most people don't want him fired), but I have never seen any fans like, e.g., JuJu fans (or even the creepy Bell fans).

Coaches don't usually have "fans." They always get blamed.

I don't believe Tomlin was the main issue with this team. He received most the blame when the team loss. Ben threw 4 INT's blame Tomlin. All the losses were not his fault but his responsibility to carry. The GM and ownership of the team understands. We will know when we have a HC issue. I don't believe that time right now.

[squidkid]

ok, how about this clarification.
anyone that wants tomlin to remain the coach can answer

Anyone who thinks we have no issues with our HC clearly is caught up in the "Flow of the game"...lol

Not afraid of anything, don't know what the next guy will do because we dont know who this next guy is. You cant have it both ways you argue that Tomlin has had a huge negative impact on the team but then you make it seem like bringing some mystery guy doesnt matter because he can easily duplicate everything Tomlin does. Does the coach have a big impact or not? Or is it as simple as just plugging another guy in? Also most people leave the firing/hiring decisions to the front office, a lot of us have faith that ownership will know when its time to replace Tomlin, they understand the situation better than you or me.

The veteran players seem to have a very good understanding of the situation as well... perhaps even more so than the ownership...
and reports coming from "The locker room" that Im hearing is that the team lacks accountability and discipline.

The main issue from my perspective were turnovers. Clean up the turnovers and the team probably would had won 2 or 3 more games.

I doubt the ownership and GM believes Tomlin is the main issue at this point.

[Ernie]

and yet all I am hearing on the NFL Network is that there's a lacking of discipline and accountability with this team.

[Ernie]

and how do you clean up the turnover differential? You start covering people on defense... contesting balls...and stop throwing it 55 times a game.

No one has said Tomlin doesn't have issues. Always room for improvement regardless of record or tenure. That doesn't mean he should be let go.

I'm caught up in the flow of these posts but I can tell you one thing...

I refuse to live in my fears.
