Rooney Brown meeting

[Steel Maniac]

Colbert is not the one to decide on head coaching hires. Rooney is.

Please........................... Colbert & Rooney will be involved in make that decision.

Please, go find tiproast if your looking for burner accounts around here. LOL

I don't actually believe its a burner. Just trying to show is a silly suggestion

[Steel Maniac]

hmmm, that is interesting. how do you know so much to claim tomlin is a great coach, motivator, x & o guys, leader, rah rah, talent evaluator, player developer, that cant be replaced by someone better?

Boom...............

[Northern_Blitz]

then why did you offer to do it?

Because the benifit seemed to outweigh the cost.

[Steel Maniac]

Maniac.

If you're interested in making a bet today, I think I have one we'd both agree on based on our previous statements.

In a previous post, I said that Tomlin had an 80% chance to still be the coach of the Steelers after next season.
In that same post, you said that Tomlin had an 80% chance to get fired after next season.

I think that means that we both think we'd be getting 4:1 odds betting opposite sides of whether Tomlin gets fired after next year.

I'd happily take the "Tomlin won't get fired after next season" side of the bet if you'll take "Tomlin will get fired after next season".

I'd be interested in the stakes you'd propose, but I'd take loser doesn't post on the board for a year. If the stakes are even, I think we'd both jump at the chance at this bet.

What do you think?

Can I get an answer to my bet with Captain first???

[Steel Maniac]

i can imagine how this would turn out.
you would say tomlin stepped down and didnt actually get fired, so you dont lose the bet...........

Boom...................

[Steel Maniac]

And then what happened?

He missed the playoffs.

with his own players..yeah..Tomlin did.

once again, spin job
if every team in the league went 13-3 and 11-5 and had the #2 seed than they would have a legit aspiration to go to a super bowl
wanting to go and having the talent to go are two different things
you cant tell me that the steelers failing to make it past the wildcard game is the same as the browns not making it there last year.............are you?
are the steelers predicted to be in the top 5 teams for winning the super bowl almost every year?
are the browns, raiders, jets, etc etc etc?
there is a reason that they are put there. its because they have the organization, coaching, and talent, schedule to do so. so when they dont make it, there is a much higher level of underachieving compared to the other team not in a situation to do so.
although there are 32 teams in the league, how many really have a chance to win the super bowl.......6,7,8?

You keep moving the goalposts.

Aspiration means hope.

Hoping to make the SB isn't the same as expecting to go to the superbowl.

And my whole point is that expecting to go to the SB 5 times in 13 years in unreasonable.

It shouldn't be a firing offense for a coach to have been to the 2nd most SBs of any team in the league over his tenure.

There may be legit reasons to question Tomlin, but lack of SB appearances doesn't seem to be a legit issue based on other teams that aren't the best dynasty of all time

North, we are talking about winning a Super Bowl. Not just making the playoffs. If you are not talking about winning a Super Bowl, then you don't need to talk to me because your aspirations are not as high as mine.

I don't care about how long Tomlin is here; all I know is at this point, we will never win another Super Bowl with him as head coach. That's what I've been stating and that's all I care about. Who cares about another post season flame out next year?

Once again, our legacy, history is what we've accomplished in the post season. Not just making the playoffs. Jesus Christ man...stop talking about being happy to just make the playoffs

So what if Tomlin stayed another year after next? What does that prove? It only proves that Colbert and Rooney have a blind spot. But it doesn't prove Tomlin is viable because the last 8 years without Cowher's players/coaches has proven weather he's viable or not.

That's not up to me.

So what if we make a bet and we make the post season next year and flame out again. Whoop de doo.

Weren't you saying yesterday that the difference between you and Ruthless was that you acknowledged the possibility that you could be wrong?

[RuthlessBurgher]

Please........................... Colbert & Rooney will be involved in make that decision.

Rooney will not make a head coaching hire in a bubble without anyone else's input, but it is ultimately Rooney's call to make, not the G.M.

For some teams, the owner hires a director of football operations, who then hires a G.M., who then hires a coach, but the Steelers are not structured in that manner.

Besides, it's entirely possible that the next time that Rooney is looking to hire the next head coach of the Steelers, Colbert may already be retired (Colbert is currently 62 and Tomlin is currently 46).

[Northern_Blitz]

So what if we make a bet and we make the post season next year and flame out again. Whoop de doo.

The bet I'm proposing has nothing to do with making the playoffs or winning the SB.

It's about whether Tomlin will continue to be the Steelers coach after next season.

You were pretty confident he wouldn't be in another post.

Are you still that confident?

[Steel Maniac]

I have 3 close Raider fans..... I have another 8 associates who are Raider fans and I have 2 close friends who are Cowboy fans.

All of them say, to a man that they hope Tomlin stays at Pittsburgh for another 30 years. What does that tell you? Wake up.
