5 reasons Tomlin didn't deserve new contract

[T.Ferguson]

The reason why Tomlin has no coaching tree is because of the coaches he hires and the systems he runs, he doesn't scheme in ways other coaches do, it is all about player execution, it's not about out schemeing the opponent, this is why the Steelers have been outscored so badly in the playoffs in the last decade.

To Tomlin's credit (and to detriment of the Steelers SB chances) he has figured out the formula to avoid a losing season, hovering around .500 continually, but this same formula is also why the Steelers are never getting back to another SB under him.

Even if the Steelers were to put together an all-pro squad Tomlin's "it's all about player execution" mantra would make it very difficult to reach the SB and win it because the NFL is a parity league now and coaching and putting players in positions to succeed is more important than ever. Tomlin simply doesn't do that.

Mathematically, you are correct. Hence my phrase "on par" with Noll and Cowher. They are all in the .700s career wins against sub .500 teams.

Sub .500 teams? How about 2-10 teams?

My biggest complaint in a nutshell. You can see the team panicking when they realize how badly out-schemed they are, and then they start pressing.

Noll said the way you motivate is not to cheerlead, but to prepare your men and put them in position to succeed. A well-prepared player is motivated to go to work.

Imagine Muth or DJ going into a game knowing they're going to run plays asking you to go in motion so you can try to block Garrett or Crosby one on one, or LJ Fort having to cover Keenan Allen one on one and just get shredded play after play because you cannot Line Up And Beat Your Man.

+1. You are correct.

"Doesn't do that?" He doesn't even grasp it. And then he simply blames "player execution" on everything. He's an imbecile.
