    Honest question, is Tomlin entering the last year of his contract?

    No I’m not a hater, just wondering.

        You can justify the sarrett and fictner firings based on the run game and ypg .
        Of course we all know how pathetic our oline players are. So can you blame those coaches?
        Our special teams fall in the same range league wise as our offensive scoring yet he keeps his job.
        I’m all for firing guys after underachieving, just seems like the rules don’t apply to a certain underachiever .
        How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

          I think it was only 2 years. I’ll
          Be curious to see if he gets another extension this off season.

            There has been theories in the past that Tomlin and Ben will leave together. I think Ben is coming back for one last season. It may be telling if Tomlin doesn’t sign an extension.

            I could be totally off base here. Just bored on a Thursday.

                I never heard that. I heard Ben and pouncey.
                If true, I hope Ben goes 8 years ago.

                    Hope not. Being a good player doesn't make you a good coach

                        true enough, but there's been some great examples... LeBeau, Cowher, Munchak, Grimm, Ditka, to name a few.

                            I don't know what Smith's contract status is, but the three guys announced are not having their expired contracts renewed. If Smith still has years remaining on his deal then he would have to be fired. Maybe (hopefully) he does have time left on his deal and the team hasn't gotten there yet.

                              Maybe Fanny is a good coach, but I haven't heard much about it. Hope the team can make a better hire than Kugler and Sarrett were

                              And I hope we give the new OL coach some more good, young talent to work with

                                I think Sarrett was just not the right fit. Young guy trying to coach a bunch of old vets probably wasn't the best choice. Now, if the Steelers get a lot of young talent, I would like to see a veteran OL coach leading the group.
