Tomlin and Weidl going the wrong direction

[anpsteel]

I don’t typically lend much credence to the beat writers’ rumors

But these feel accurate

One saying Tomlin is safe irrespective of the outcome of the game against the Ravens

and the next saying Weidl is likely headed out the door for a GM position

That’s the absolute wrong path for this team with both

I’m not sure who they have internally to replace Weidl- but let’s hope his departure doesn’t escalate Kahn’s power

If both of these options play out- next season is going to suck

[swissvale72]

All this talk about Tomlin moving on is wasted convo. Aint no way he's NOT on the Steelers sideline next year.

[Steelafan77]

Swiss is absolutely correct. Fraudlin will be here at least thru 26.

We’ll know more in spring when they decide to either extend Teflon or allow his inept dumbfuckery to walk once his contract expires.

Weidl I thought brought some great experience from the Eagles FO to our FO. What happened?

Not seen anywhere before this thread Weidl was even being considered for termination. Hmmmm…..

We'll basically know far earlier than the Spring. Should be very soon after the end of the regular season. There's just no way that they're going to let him coach as a "lame duck" through 2026. If he's not removed shortly after the regular season, you already know they're going to exercise that option for 2027.

March 1st is reportedly deadline for that decision.

i know what the deadline is. I'm simply telling you the reality. If he's not gone within short order of the season ending, he's getting that option exercised. He's not going to be a lame duck coach. They aren't going to do that. So effectively, this is a decision that they will and almost have to make well before March 1st.

Here's what I know. As long as Mike Tomlin is head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, there will be no further Lombardi trophies in Pittsburgh. The Patriots are far closer to 7 than the Steelers are, and those fucks were 4-13 last season. Fuck Mike Tomlin. Fuck Art II. And fuck anyone who likes them.

[Steelafan77]

Not seeing the Steelers eating the financials of the rest of his overpaid contract, we’ll see.

Weidl I think needs to be retained going forward.

The whole thing needs to be flushed into the Ohio with the rest of the sludge that still runs through it.

Art Rooney - Retired
Mike Tomlin - Retired/Fired/Resigned
Weidl - keep him with promise / alognment with new HC on personnel
Khan - gone
Ball Boys - Fired
Medical Staff - Replaced, UPMG looks like medical malpractice on wheels
Who am I missing?

Nice to see you JL

It's probably true that he will be, but it is an action year. By that I mean, they will either pick up his 2027 option before the draft or he will retire/resign/be pushed out short of firing. They have to do something because they won't leave him as a lame duck going into 2026.

I would promote Weidl to GM and move Khan into a executive position/Director of Football Operations that keeps him in the room and doing the stuff he's great at.

he's just the money pushing guy on contracts, i am not happy with some of the ones they've dolled out the past 5 years

[swissvale72]

they'll pick up the option

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

they'll pick up the option

[Steel Bingo]

If Weidl gets an opportunity for more money or a promotion elsewhere, he's earned it.

He was touted as a guy who'd build the trenches, and he's delivered on that promise with multiple excellent selections on both sides of the line over the past two drafts. Factoring in who was taken, where they were selected, and how they've contributed, it's hard to want a redo on any of the picks.

Troy Fautanu and Derrick Harmon have been outstanding in particular. Fautanu was one of my favorite picks in years - loved his pedigree and athleticism. Having him healthy all season has been huge. I was highly skeptical of the Harmon selection, but his play has been absolutely worthy of his first-round status.

I think the conversations go like "Hey Khan, pay that man." And then Khan does the numbers based on how they want to pay out contracts (front or backloaded) and whatever rules the Rooney's want to enforce.

I don't believe for a second Khan is really the decision maker. He was given the GM title as a reward for "loyalty" over the years (in reality, he interviewed for a couple GM jobs and never landed one). Weidl was brought into exercise influence on personnel and scout but probably also plays second fiddle to Mediocre Mike.

If Weidl leaves is is very bad for this team. THey really needed that outside perspective.

Not termination


Leaving to take a GM position with another team

Absolutely

He’s the highest ranking non-Tomlin, non-homer

Sorry...trying to speak the reality you want into existence won't work.

Believe me, I've tried it.

Plus, they aren’t going to go into the draft with a coach they don’t intend to keep

[Steelafan77]

Just don’t see them eating his salary draft or no draft, lame duck and all.

That said, define lame duck. Couldn’t be any more lame duck then what we’ve seen over the last decade.
