Is the Steelers' Mike Tomlin on a path that could lead to Canton? Sure looks like it

    And I guess what Deebo said doesn’t have any validity either.

    Well obviously your original post said "Michael Wilbon" and I did watch the video and Michael Wilbon wasn't in it. Also Harrison doesn't make your point, he simply said he thinks Belichick is is a little bit more disciplined when it comes to defensive technique. But in case you haven't noticed our defense has been pretty good.

      I love how Steel Maniac says to listen to what Michael Wilbon says and Wilbon isn't even in the video.

        And he said that because he identifies with X’s and O’s type of coaches like Cowher and like Noll.
        Never said "identifies" he said "identity". It was a comparison between Tomlin and Cowher. Interesting word choice in that context..."identity."

        He actually said, "I have more IDENTITY with Cowher than with Tomlin".

        If "identity" is what he meant...I got a little problem with that. I cannot completely dismiss the possibility this was a Freudian slip. (def. an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings.)

        Nevertheless, I will give him the benefit of the doubt, as I'm no fan of Bradshaw's intellect. It is an easy mistake to make.

        Then Terry said he knew of Cowher from Kansas City, never heard of Tomlin, so it was unfair to compare them. Again he himself invalidates his prior comments.

        He does not speak of x and o at all Maniac, not in the discussion. But who is qualified to give a more accurate opinion of Tomlin?

        Bradshaw who rarely steps foot in Pittsburgh or Wolf who ACTUALLY WATCHES Tomlin coach every season as a part of his JOB?

          There's always a choice. The player could shut down from what he sees as bullying, or refuse to play and force a trade. Noll molded Bradshaw and forced him to play a certain way. Terry never understood why.
          Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

          Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

          *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

              But given TODAYS greater choice, the "option" to escape what he saw as the tyranny of Noll, play AND be paid elsewhere, he leaves the Steelers in a heartbeat.

                There is literally NOBODY in sportscasting I have less respect for than Whitlock. And it ain't close.

                  first Steel Maniac said Wilbon, then he edited his post to say Whitlock.

                  when he first said Wilbon, I was interested because I somewhat respect his opinion.

                  but when it turned out to be Whitlock I had to laugh. for him to use Whitlock to support his false narrative is comical.

                    I disagree...

                    Bradshaw said that because he saw Tomlin is not an X’s and O’s type of coach. So he said he doesn’t know what Tomlin does; calling him a cheerleader coach.

                        How can you say that? Terry did NOT talk about Xs and Os at all in the interview.

                        That ain't money...it is empty pocket logic.

                              biggest upset in Hawaii sports history, Virginia and Ralph Sampson were the #1 ranked team in the country at the time.

                              I haven't heard Wilbon's story, I'll have to go and check it out.

                                Dude was in Hawaii for the Aloha bowl. He was in the same hotel as Virginia team

                                He heard Ralph Sampson hacking all night sick. Because of that he had a feeling Chamanade just might have a chance as he had heard Chamadade was pretty good for a lower division team. Could this NAIA team beat the number one team in the country?

                                He goes to the game and is THE ONLY NATIONAL REPORTER at the game. Chamadade is up at half.

                                Wilbon starts calling his paper telling them to hold the presses as he was gonna have the only report of this HUGE upset on the mainland that day.

                                But timing is tough because the game was late in Hawaii.

                                Wilbon is writing the article about a huge upset BEFORE it happened. The paper is making him call with updates.

                                Virginia took a late lead and the paper went to print.

                                Wilbon is to this day frustrated that he missed an exclusive on the biggest upset in sports history.
