Washington Wants Tomlin

[steelz09]

Cowboys will sell their souls to hire him. He will be the highest paid coach in the NFL the day he is hired.

Good for him. And the team that does that won't sniff the SB. Guaranteed.

I think you're allowed to trade a pick for a coach right? Maybe they'd give us their 1st (which may be 1st overall), or 2nd rd pick.

I saw something about this today on First take. It was more of a hypothetical and not as if the Redskins were actually inquiring about the janitor.

Sometimes it's just time for a change, and it's not about "who out there is better?". Tomlin was a relatively unknown when he took over. Cowher too. Perhaps it's just time for a change, and if we can get something in return, particularly when our 2020 draft capital is already low, why not give it a shot? Lincoln Riley I'd take. I'd give Eric Bienemy a shot. Duce Staley has 8 years of coaching experience now and has successfully climbed the ladder. Kris Richard from Dallas. We've seen several examples of young coaches coming in with success (McVay, LaFleur having early success in GB, hell even Tomlin at one point).

It's not necessarily about going out and finding "someone better". Perhaps it's just time for a change and it's about finding someone "different than what you currently have"?

No way Rooneys will trade Tomlin. Well, maybe if Washington made a ridiculous offer, like a 1st and 2nd in 2020 and another 1st and 2nd in 2021. Then maybe they would consider. But I doubt it.

The Steelers have an uncanny way of finding these generational HCs. They just haven't figured out how to get rid of them. That seems to be the take.

That is the take...Tomlin, Like his predecessors, did very well for a long time...But, When they flamed out and it was time for a change...I think ( in their minds ) that they would feel a sense of disloyalty...Almost as if " you guys did do well for us, for so long, that it would be a slap in the face to get rid of you when you're down "

They're to loyal to a point... Popcorns time is up, He's getting worse by the game...Cut ties, regroup, and start over

We'll be fine!

Please!! Where can I sign off on this trade? We need to take advantage of the sucker known as Snyder. LOL.

** And for the posters who keep saying, " who can we get to replace him?" ....we can find a good coach the same way the Bears found Nagy; the same way the Rams found McVay.
Football people KNOW who the next up and coming coaches are; we are not in those circles but they know. Just like Tomlin came out of those circles, so can our next coach.

Josh Daniels sucked as a head coach with Denver a few years back but if he was available I'd sign him up and take Joe Judge with him and bring them in and not look back.

Mcdaniels the best OC in the game. The way he morphs his attack from week to week is unlike anybody in the game. I get why you like him.

1) I think it's hard to put much stock into coordinator's talent under BB. Many have been tried as HCs and they all did poorly.
2) There are lots of people who are good coordinators and bad HCs (Todd Haley for example).

My understanding of how coaches get traded is that it's a bit different from players in that the new team (Skins) would need to get permission to discuss with Tomlin the terms of his new contract with them (contract doesn't go with the coach) and then the two teams would agree on the compensation for the coach - draft picks and/or cash.

Al Davis traded Jon Gruden to Tampa Bay for first-round draft pick in 2002, a first-round pick in 2003 and a second round pick in 2004. The Buccaneers also threw in $8 million in cash. The Steelers would be foolish to not consider a deal such as that.

I’d salivate over that deal. The return in picks would be huge for the organization.

Yep. I’ve been suggesting that and I’m on board.

[Moonie]

Maybe be we can get Harbaugh? I heard he’s awesome. Although there are rumors that he high fives his assistants.

[steelz09]

He's a Virginia-guy. This way, he can return to his old stomping grounds where he can salivate over all the $hitty Virginia players that he likes.

The only great one he ever had was shockingly, one he inherited from Cowher.

Snyder can't possibly be dumb enough to trade for a janitor.

[flippy]

I'd be more inclined to hire a new GM to work with Tomlin than getting rid of Tomlin.

Give him some guidance/support to get better players and better coaches and see what he can do.

Tomlin still does some good things, but he has his weaknesses which he hasn't done a great job of addressing on his own. I'd try to support him a little better and still leverage the good that Tomlin brings to the table.
