Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

I throw out the race card based on your posts regarding Tomlin on the long deceased trib forum.

LVG = fail.

The unemployed, don't have a pot to piss in, man has spoken. Listen up folks he knows failure.

stlrz_d has a job.

You stay classy, Las Vegas.

Just calling it like I see it. Sorry, if I offended all his followers on here.

Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

That's some serious class going on there.

And as was pointed out, I am working again...for a company in the top 25 on the Fortune 500 list.

Once again LVG = fail.

Let me guess someone hired you for temporary help on a used car lot? The cash for clunkers program has really taken off, hasn't it? By the way, the goverment suspended the program today because they were running out of money. Look for another pink slip in your paycheck soon.

On the bright side there is always a demand for people to deliver papers but it requires getting up early in the morning and considering your post count you may not be up for the task. That would mean cutting into your 375+ post a month.

Nice try, but once again:



Keep up the fails and I'll eventually run out.

But then I'll just switch to:



Which is just as appropriate.

Woo Hoo! I've been PWN'ed I bet you have a 100 of them. Maybe next time you google PWNED images you won't use the first one. Be original dude we all know you have the time.

Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

I guess if you weren't spending so much time at your KKK rallies you'd have a bit more time too.

I don't even know why you come here. You contribute absolutely nothing of substance to this forum. Your only "contributions" are to complain about losses and to take shots at a guy who, despite what your tiny brain thinks, is a fantastic coach.

I guess FAIL and PWNED didn't work for you so you resorted back to your racism argument which is weak like you.

Do they even have KKK rallies anymore? In case you hadn't notice I live in Vegas not the back woods of Alabama, Kentucky or Wisconsin so I wouldn't have any idea what you are talking about. Here's a video you may find interesting. See even from a black guy it is possible to critique black people without being a racist but you are too much of a dumba...ss to figure that difference out.

Why do I come here? To admire the lovefest all you guys have for each other. It's like one big dysfunctional slumber party. With you being the guest host.

Wow. You're kind of being a douchebag, LVG...

And that's from someone who had no horse in this race...

Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

You don't have to live in the sticks to be a racist. My comments are purely based on the things you posted on the trib board about Tomlin. You can deny all you want but those of us who were there remember your "hints" at not being happy with the skin color of the man the Rooneys chose to lead this team...and it kills you that you were wrong...and continue to be wrong.

Don't go away mad...just go away.

Cool a Motley Crue reference.

You have some serious selective memory D. Is that for your groupie friends on here? I wish the TRIB board was still around so I can challenge you on that.

You act like I was saying racist things or sterotyping Tomlin which is totally false. I had a problem with the Rooney Rule. I felt because the rule was created by the Rooneys they had no choice but to find a black coach and hire a black coach otherwise they would look hypocritical to the rest of the league. I don't think it was fair that we had a more then qualified coach on the staff and we cast him aside while we tried to fulfill the Rooney Rule by not only interviewing a black coach but doing the league one better and hiring him as well. If you look at what Whiz has done with worse talent in Arizona it is hard to say he wasn't qualified. Only the Rooney's know their exact motive and only Whiz knows what was said to him that made him go to the Cardinals rather then wait for a Steeler decision. Who in their right mind would take another job when the Steeler head coaching gig is within their sites? Doesn't make sense then and it certainly doesn't make sense now. I think Whiz was a smart enough guy to see the writing on the wall.

If you think I was making black jokes about him eating chicken and waffles and pimping out the team bus with 24" rims you couldn't be more wrong. I never personally attacked Tomlin I attacked that stupid a...ss rule the Rooney's put in place. You would think with 6000+ posts at the Trib you would get it right considering you were on there enough.

And what makes me sick now is how everyone is slurping on Tonmlin and the guy was handed the guys to a Super Bowl caliber team. Can we at least wait until some things change and his players are here before we start locking up Rooney Rule hires for the long term?

The dude is a jagoff. Always trying to challenge me and make himself out to be the spokesperson for Steeler nation. Just an unemployed guy, living in the woods, living off the land. How he even has access to a TV to watch and hear Steeler things is beyond me. Oh yea! He is "borrowing" Direct TV from his neighbor 50 miles away. Way to go STLRZD you found a loop hole in the process.

Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

1) Why is it so hard for you to understand "no longer unemployed"? Karma would have you terminated for reasons beyond your control (just as I was) so you can have a taste of what you're dishing out.

2) I'm not borrowing anything. I'm paying for it.

3) I'm not living in the woods. 200,000 may not be a major metropolitan area, but it's not the woods either.

4) Your Rooney Rule posts were racist and completely off the mark. I don't have to go into all of it, but you seem to be missing the biggest point: the rule only states that at least one minority (not just black, but minority) candidate be interviewed. It says nothing about hiring. Also, Tomlin was the second minority candidate interviewed. Whis expected the job to be handed to him and when it wasn't given to him immediately he bolted like an impatient, spoiled child. That's on him.

5) I've never stated that Whis wasn't qualified to be a head coach in the NFL. But I stand by my belief that the Rooneys hired the best man to lead the Steelers. And Tomlin keeps backing that belief with everything he does and says.

6) That saying was around long before Motley Crue.

7) Please continue with your douchebaggery...let those who don't remember from the trib forum see you for who you really are all over again.

You had negative things to say about Tomlin when he was hired. D is not the only one to remember. Your comments were racists. You could had waited to see what Tomlin had to offer the organization. Why would you have a problem with the Rooney rule? They could had hired Whiz. No one knows what went into their thought process. Maybe one key factor was that Whiz and Ben did/do not get a long?

In any event, the got it right with Tomlin. Why would it make you sick that people are happy that we have a coach and leader like Tomlin?

The last comment you made speaks volumes. "Can we at least wait until some things change and his players are here before we start locking up Rooney Rule hires for the long term?" You expect people to not think you are a racist making comments like that?

Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

The Steelers had already interviewed Ron Rivera, so bringing in Tomlin for an interview had nothing to do with fulfilling some Rooney Rule quota whatsoever.

The Steelers did not cast Whisenhunt aside. The Steelers had a head coach job opening and were in the process of interviewing multiple candidates when Whisenhunt decided to take the Arizona job instead. It wasn't as if the Rooneys picked Tomlin over Whisenhunt, and then Whis went to the desert as a defeated man with his tail between his legs to accept the Cardinals job as a consolation prize. Whis left Pittsburgh on his own volition...he made a conscious choice to walk out on us, before the Rooneys even had a chance to decide whether or not Whisenhunt might have been a better option for them than any of the other candidates.

Re: Tomlin to coach season without new contract?

i wouldnt say tomlin inherited a sb caliber team at all. its not like tomlin came into the same situation as george siefert or barry switzer. doesnt tomlin deserve a lot of credit from taking an 8-8 team one year to a 10-6 team the next? cowher did win a sb but when he left the team had a lot of holes. special teams stunk while cowher was the coach. tomlin's first two years st's have improved a lot. i would even say the secondary has improved a lot in the last couple years as well. i dont give tomlin all the credit in the world but i give him a lot. the steelers front office is one of the best in the league. ben's maturation is also huge in the steelers success under tomlin. if your going to blame a coach for a team's failures then you have to give him credit for their success
