Tomlin

[feltdizz]

You mean like posters that said that he would for sure that 2019 or 2020 would be his last year?

Wondering if those posters that said a 1 year extension (to a contract with more than a year and a half left on it) wasn't a "vote of confidence" think the current extension is.

This is the exact thread I was thinking about but was too lazy to search and link.

Why not just give him a lifetime contract? Art Rooney II. We have ownership issues and you can't fire that person.

I blame you for not advancing the Steelers. At the rate you are going well win the next super bowl when you in your grave.

hahahahaha..

This is what I'm kind of excited about.

What does a Tomlin team look like when they have a QB on a rookie contract?

How does a team like that play when they made it to even with Mason Rudolph?

I think Ben is the main reason for the success of this team, but he's not what he was a decade ago.

Maybe Tomlin fails without Ben. Especially if our next QB is bad.

But if our next QB is good, I'd imagine that he's learned some things coaching one of the best to ever play.

One can also say Dick Lebeau is the main reason.. or Troy P.

Ben was definitely part of the reason we had success. He made plays and was clutch in close games early in his career.

But every time we made a SB we also had a top 3 defense. Defenses that hid our mistakes on offense and produced points.

Who are you referring to? I only post as Joel. Please tell me what Tomlin has done to earn a new contract since 2016? I'll be waiting.

Tomlin can go 0-16 for the next decade and 'Woke' Rooney will still extend him. Absolutely insane to keep extending a guy who's teams implode every year

Man...that's harsh.

Money post.

Post 70s:
Steelers have been to SBs with and without Ben, with and without Cowher, with with and without Tomlin, with and without Colbert. Three different OCs.

The one constant not named Rooney?

Dick Lebeau.

40 post Noll seasons 12 we had Lebeau as DC. 4 SuperBowl appearances.

In other words, 1 in every 3 seasons we went to the SB with Lebeau as DC.

Zero without him.

It is the one and only element I credit Cowher acquiring that was key to his and Tomlins success.

What ownership issues?

Obviously he has proven to the Rooneys that he has been one of the most successful coaches in the NFL since he took the job. He is known as a strong leader who has earned the respect of those who play for him.

I was wondering the same but I just let it go. People acting like we’re the Washington Football Team.

Wow!!! Now the Rooney's need to prove they are "woke." Having one of the most successful franchises in the NFL means nothing. Clear where you are coming from.

I guess not heeding know nothing message board posters is now indicative of bad ownership

Can you name another coach in any sport who's teams underachieve every year, and have had complete meltdowns several years in a row, yet were extended? I'll wait.

Winning 3 playoff games in the last decade with a Hall of Fame QB and stacked rosters is indicative of bad ownership

No need to wait...it ain't hard.

Pete Carol- just got extended to 2025.
Harbaugh- thought by many to have the most talent in the league.
Sean Peyton

Pretty much any long term coach not named Belichick.
