Who thinks we should fire Tomlin?

[Oviedo]

I think fichtner has been doing a good job from the start. But I also agree he appears to be a low ego guy.

I give credit to Matt Canada

[Captain Lemming]

The only time I lost faith in Tomlin was after that AFCCG against the Pats where our D was abused. I was heated for 24 hours after that game. That scheme on D was awful.

Those who weren't here would not believe how bad Dizz trashed all the coaches including Tomlin after that game.

Hawaiiansteel has had his moments of Tomlin rage too.

OV was one of the most critical guys on this forum for a time. (I often laugh when he takes shots at critical people today)

Bottom line:

They are not the blind homer's some think.

He sounded the same. You are a known Tomlin hater so of course he sounded differently to you. One thing about coaches is they rarely change how they respond and handle press conferences and the media. When the team losses a few games you will come here and claim he went back to the "old" sounding Tomlin. While you focus on Tomlin I will focus on the real reasons why the team loss the games. Games are generally won and loss on the field.

Media training for coaches and players is basically:

"Talk in cliches and don't say anything important ever"

But can we really trust a Lemming on this topic?

By MY standard all y'all are haters.

Tomlin gives some truthful information. Like when he basically said complete football teams can win in different ways and don't be themselves with mistakes.

Me personally, I only hate stupid people. I’ll let you all figure out who is who.

i think it's funny that folks who say he was hired BECAUSE of the Rooney rule act like it isn't possible that he came in and sold himself in the same 15 minutes... The man certainly talks the talk (even if it seems old and repetitive now to us)

And that hindsight shows us that he was clearly the correct choice.

It's impossible to argue that he's not infinitely better than Russ Grimm who was the other likely option at the time.

He's also better than Whisenhunt*, but at least Ken had some success as a coach. It's too bad that the two of them didn't get a chance to play each other in a super-important game when they both had HoF QBs on the roster. A game like that might give us some kind of indication of who was better (if you don't like obvious comparisons of records as HCs).

* Whisenhunt took another job before we made our final decision. Maybe that means that he knew he wasn't going to get picked, but maybe he just took the bird in the hand with the Cardinals.

I don't know why we have to call or label anyone haters when they criticize. Cowher was criticized plenty during his 15 years. And now he's universally loved by Steelernation

Critique is part of the job. It's a "What have you done for me today" sport. When we're winning, great. When there's a tough loss, expect frustrated critique. It's that simple.

There are always people on both sides that blow things out of proportion.

read Steel Maniac's sig for your answer.

Saw yesterday that Tomlin is among the leaders in NFL history for consecutive seasons without a losing season .
