you won't hire a OC with tomlin under one year left

There's a high school coach somewhere that would love the opportunity

I am going to say this we are going to see how big Balls Art has this offseason will he keep him around for his Lame duck year? will he give the guy some kind of extension? Will he tell him to clean house of his coaches and give Omar a say who will be the new staff I think the reason Canada got fir...

Ben and Hoge are right about this team So was Ryan Clark, years ago. What Ben basically said was it was actually Cowher's players reminding those guys how to be professionals. The great enabler doesn't have that in the locker room any more, so the last vestiges of the culture Cowher created are gon...

Hey, we own most of the tie breakers and the stars can still align for PIT to be the #6 seed at 9-8!!!!

Watch this team win a playoff game with Mason Rudolph at QB. Oh my that will cause a meltdown.

Tomlin has the looks of a lost coach I've said all year he looks like he had an ultimatum to at least make the playoffs. That's gone and he's a dead man walking. Probably shitting himself over the prospect of losing NHALS. Or, oh no....it could also be Tomlin was hoping to hand-off a loaded contend...

They're also just plain not fun to watch. So bad and frustrating on offense that they aren't even watchable on that side of the ball. And if Tomlin is allowed to come back, he's going to hire another OC just like the last couple of clowns. No idea who would even want that job, even if Tomlin's seat ...

Purdy just locked up league MVP today. 4 Tds, 0 INT 135 QB rating while his only real competition Dak Prescott threw a pick, 0 TD and got blown out. Amazing story that Purdy is!

Do you think if we had drafted Purdy in R7 instead of that other guy that Purdy would have made our practice squad?

They aren't just going to "blow it up". Cutting all these guys just creates other needs, and they're track record recently on FAs hasn't been all that great. I could see maybe drafting a C fairly early, But they probably will see what a new OL coach can do with the rest before going on a cutting spr...

Targeting a high floor and hoping to sneak into the playoffs as the 6-7 seed is never going to result in a playoff run. And the proof is not only that they brought Canada back, but let that offense suck out loud for 3 months before firing Canada. As long as we were winning, Tomlin seemed pretty sati...

yeah, Switzer was a legendary college coach. So I'd have to give him the edge over Tomlin

It's kind of funny how, despite being where he has frequently been most years recently, suddenly there's talk about moving on from Tomlin.

Almost like Deuce put a call into the NFL office to start changing the narrative....

You left off the main reason the Steelers are in this position. Mike Bug eyes Tomlin. He's completely clueless in just about every way. Roethlisberger and a host of other great players covered up how bad Tomlin truly is at his job. Good news is I would assume even Rooney is ready to move on after n...

Don't worry guys, Tomlin promised "we're going to do things differently".

Probably a few SEASONS overdue, but I guess better late than never

What are the odds Pickens demands a trade this offseason?

This is a 5 win team that lucked out with the Chubb injury in the first Browns game and with the Ravens forgetting how to catch. Tomlin continues to tell us who he is. Mentioned turnovers, execution and penalties for reasons they lost. Note he never talks about scheme. Instead he relies on playing ...

If this dumb ass HC start Mitch again should be let go. Also I cut Harvin tonight also This drama is all we really have left to enjoy with the Steelers. I can't wait for the game thread next week with Checkdown King back under center. People have forgotten all about the horrendous pocket presence, ...

Probably because Art II wasn’t challenging him in the way that he should have been. Should have been having talks about doing more thru other people…building a coaching tree etc. Art II hould have been exporting coaches too to keep the flow fresh. He is part of the failure. This is just wrong. Toml...

Watching that again, even with everything else awful about the play....Najee gets arm tackled by the dude. He's 245 and runs completely upright. Despite everything else, he should have run right through that tackle.

He's just so fucking bad.

To me, that's where the game turned. That pass is complete and very possible Steelers are up 16-7 at half rather than down 14-13

It's always fun to play "what if" we undo only the Steelers' mistakes

Great Twitter post about this… For all of those goddamn idiot fans that argue “you want to fire Tomlin??? Who the hell do you suggest we bring in???” Well how about the band of rookie coaches that are running circles around Cool Shades? Perhaps someone of their caliber? Wait, random people on twitt...

You kind of knew the defense was going to get tired and hurt late in the year the way they were being asked to carry the team.\ Honestly, I'm not sure how good they really were at 100%. Someone pointed out all the extra plays likely resulting from trying to strip the ball and generate turnovers. Whi...

I don’t know if it will happen but this is the loudest the defectors have ever been. And it’s only going to get worse. Bradshaw said it several years ago, and it was clearly genuine. And you can't bet many other people were seeing/feeling the same, but afraid to speak out. That armor is gone for To...

Rooney will likely keep Tomlin then eventually hire a defensive head coach next or unqualified lesbian. Possibly an unqualified lesbian defensive coordinator of an underrepresented diverse community. Something to really feel good about. Hmmm...maybe Tomlin comes out as non-binary queer adjacent tom...

This isn't new. He's not doing it on purpose. He just isn't very good. He's a killer for an offense unless there are some gaping holes and the D is exhausted. Yeah, he's just not good. I want to try to defend the guy and say maybe it looked different on the field, but I can't defend misreading the ...

Even if he cripples Pickett.

You gonna win many football games with a 6 man roster?

That's why it's genius

Here's a wild thought - how about trading Bos?

He's probably good for 1-2 wins per year, but wouldn't we prefer to draft after 5-12 vs. 7-10? He's worth at least an R2 to a team that has all the other pieces.

I don't have anything to add to that list. Only caveat is there's plenty of room to keep some guys who are leaders and/or have the right attitude. I think that's why you can't trade TJ. And if Najee would accept, like $3M per year, I'd keep him too. Even if he's like an emergency RB who only gets 20...

They lost this game for the same reason they've lost the other 7 games, they run an offense that is very junior high-esh....they play risk adverse football offensively and the team knows this, and I believe most on the team quit several weeks ago. Yes. Some of us pointed out that winning games beca...

I just don't trust that Art II is gonna get the replacement right.

But seems unlikely to be worse.

I mean, sure, we might have a losing season or two but that's only because the new guy will be playing for a SB instead of just NHALS.
