Tomlin is gone - Official!

[Sir Lambert]

His track record of never having a losing season in 19 years will likely never be duplicated.

I mean, Landry did go 21 years without a losing season

The point is that he NEVER had a losing season in his 19 year tenure in Pittsburgh. Landry had a 21 year run, but he had losing seasons both before and after that 21 year run.

[swissvale72]

Yea we also need art the lessor to also head out to pasture

But ok on the request. Unless Swiss thinks it’s a bad idea

What do I have to do with it?

[swissvale72]

i have almost no doubt Rooney told him it was Over

Not at all according to Shefter, and he's often right about shit.

[swissvale72]

Rumor is the Steelers said they would withhold the Option year and Tomlin walked. If so, high hopes for Danny M Rooney, who I hear is already up to 2nd to top of the heap in the org.

If true, this makes me feel a little better...

Where's that rumor from?

[swissvale72]

i’m sure rooney will pick a black coach.

Who gives a fuck?

I do if the race is taking priority over actual competency. That's the problem with race-based hiring practices. They make you question even the people who have more than earned their chances or abilities. I don't object to hiring a black coach in a vacuum. I object to playing politics at all because what I think most of us want is the best possible guy to lead the team successfully.

I supported Tomlin's hiring in 2007 (which admittedly means absolutely nothing) because I thought he had more potential than the two in-house guys they looked at and don't recall anyone else even being looked at. So we shall see.

Yeah, I don't think any of us were impressed with Russ Grimm. We would have been good with whisenhunt but didn't he take the cardinals job before the Steelers made their decision?

[bradshaw2ben]

Some things I think about this, given a day:

1. I think Tomlin will coach in 2026, just somewhere else. Vegas is as good a choice as anywhere. Just not sure if Raiders want him. Any New York job would also be in play.

2. I've been digging through the potential candidates and I've really zeroed in on Grant Udinski. Dude is 30 going on 50, like he seems like an serious adult compared to McDaniel or McVay. But more importantly, he reminds me A TON of Chuck Noll. Imagine seeing Chuck Noll at 30. Udinski breaks down information and explains it in a very similar way to Noll and he freaking looks like him.

He's the precocious kid the smart people think is smarter than them but doesn't come off as smug. He drove Uber until he could get a coaching job, then lived in his car in a Walmart parking lot because his Baylor job didn't pay enough for him to get an apartment. His work ethic, at least at this point in his life, is A++. Josh McCown told his offensive players from QB on down, that if they had any questions about plays/gameplan, that they should "Call Grant". Grant knew the offense better than McCown or Kevin O'Connell, according to McCown. Football IQ also A+.

The Steelers may not hire him, but I predict that whichever NFL franchise does, they'll win a Super Bowl within 5 years.

Shefter couldn't have been more, emphatic, repeatedly, coming back at orlovsky on NFL Live, that Tomlin will NOT coach in 2026. And just part of that was the compensation that would be the Steelers.

Excellent research B2B ... Agree with your assessment regarding Udinski. (great old-school Pittsburgh-type name too )

Cautious about hoping for, but then again I never thought this glorious Tomlin-free morning would ever come either, so .....

You sure about that...even after expiration of current deal in 2027?

[Steeldrama]

Good stuff B2B

When perusing the Internet for potential candidates I can’t help but think that in 19 years of being head coach, Tomlin NEVER had a young stud coach like an Udinski that teams were looking to poach.

19 YEARS?!?!

And not a single branch on his coaching tree!

Seriously that’s not possible

All Tomlin had to do was find quality coordinators and grant them full autonomy to run modern NFL systems and the guy would not only have had his precious NHALS but playoff success as well.

AND still have his job

I just don’t get it

Everyone saying how great a job the Steelers opening is then why couldn’t Tomlin attract a single coaching talent that other teams would WANT for their own???

We know Tomlin struggled to identify player talent so did that also apply to coaching talent?

Did these coaches just know Tomlin would meddle?

Nobody setting Tomlin straight on the error of his ways just shows how asleep at the wheel Rooney is

[.Kodiak]

The Steelers will get compensation in whatever year he comes back. If Tomlin comes back 20 years from now, the Steelers would still be due compensation.

I think it's a bad assumption his contract hasn't been voided. My guess is Tomlin was allowed to "resign", and in exchange PIT was released from the $20M he was guaranteed next year.

You don't want that hanging over your head and potentially getting in the way of doing what you want to do. It would be malpractice on the part of Tomlin's representation if they didn't negotiate a full release.

I’m surprised to learn that it’s only valid as long as the original contract date (in this case two more years).

Player contracts I believe are different. I think they don’t expire that way.

I’m certainly intrigued by your coaching candidate

But in respect to Tomlin going to the Raiders, I don’t see any chance in that

First, I don’t think he’ll coach this year if ever again in the NFL

Second, Tom Brady would laugh at the idea of hiring Mike Tomlin as head coach

I don’t think Al Davis‘s kid would override Brady‘s opinion

[Thrillsseeker]

Before the season, I too using my gut/feelings thought this would be Tomlins last year. Preached it! Then tempered my feelings when I found out, he was under contract through 2027. When it was announced March 1, they had to make a decision to keep him through 2027. I went right back to this could be the year. This could be the year. This could be the year. What a glorious ending in the fourth quarter. When they weren’t going to win, the scoop & score and the pick six happened, I found myself giggling, chuckling about the catastrophe unfolding in front of me. Kept thinking while we’re losing hope they keep piling on and this is what pushes Tomlin out the door.

I think he will not coach in 2026. Stepping away from coaching was uttered. Probably because he’s done with coaching and will end up on network tv.

As far as comp, I heard that if he coaches anywhere in 2026 or 2027, the Steelers would get compensation. Or could get compensation. I don’t think it matters, he’ll get offers and calls inquiring but he’s headed to TV.

[.Kodiak]

This part doesn’t matter. It’s in place until the original contract would have expired. I think technically it’s two more years remaining.

It absolutely does matter. Also, he can't be under contract for an option year not exercised.

This happened far too quickly for it to be anything other than voiding the contract. Rooney wasn't going to fire Tomlin after 19 years, but Tomlin isn't canning himself 12 hours after the game without at least trying to be released from the contract. His agent wouldn't allow Tomlin to shitcan himself that quickly without trying to negotiate first.

Tomlin reportedly had a no-trade clause. If he really wanted to play hardball, he could "un-retire" and the Steelers would have two choices: pay him $20M to sit, or waive his contract. PIT doesn't have the leverage you think they do.

As they say, shit in one hand and wish in the other and see what fills up first. Y'all are hoping for "compensation" for a coach we all agree sucks and can't win playoff games. Maybe we can get an R3 for Tomlin, but Deuce probably wouldn't want to insult Mikey T like that.

[Gonzo]

i have almost no doubt Rooney told him it was Over

Not at all according to Shefter, and he's often right about shit.

When he isn't violating HIPAA laws?

of course the outward story is tomlin stepped down
rooney and tomlin agree its "the story" -- its good for both of them for a number of reasons. There is zero reason to say he was asked to leave
shefter repeats "the story"
Based on a decade of results and another Humiliation at home in the playoffs and a roster that is in state of disrepair with little future hope
no matter what you think of Rooney, the decision was easy and obvious -- it could t continue and I am sure others in ownership felt the same
with the upcoming draft, the damage to the stelers brand, a shit roster, no Hope and it proven without a doubt that Tomlin Plan was a faiilure Rooney had No other choice

[Gonzo]

if he stepped down because they agreed it was time and he is tired -- he may go to TV after relaxing for a while
if he really did step down because he was mad that fans were giving him shit and Rooney wouldnt give him the Option he will come back and try to prove everyone wrong - that seems to be What he is about to an extent.
He wont go to a re-build-- Giants is all I see him doing or maybe Miami or he waits Giants is a good place for him -- they would like him or Harbaugh

There has been other cases of HCs being signed and playing compensation because they were still under contract.

As to their rights to the option year, I think they could make an argument for that—isn’t the act actually declining the option as opposed to invoking the option?

Tomlin won't go anywhere that he has to rebuild the team. Needs a veteran roster and QB.

I think he takes a year off and hopes Andy Reid retires.

Tomlin to the Chiefs!

[tbsteel]

I would love to get the actual story on the drafting of Kenny Pickett.

I always heard that the Steelers had him as their top rated QB, but the coaches and staff didn't have a first round grade on him. But Art II basically forced them into making the pick. Tomlin was so damn excited though right afterwards, like Oscar-worthy stuff if he wasn't truly feeling it...

Here's my distinct memory and granted it's only a one time thing that I use as an example in the 01 ACCG, Belichick approached the officials pregame to let them know that Troy Edwards regularly ran out of bounds and back in on coverage. So the Steelers pumped first quarter sure enough Edward gets flagged on the reek Troy Brown I believe runs it back for a touchdown. Cowher had to know that Troy Edwards did that shit and never ever ever addressed. It never corrected it. She said.
Power was a game they fuck up in his own right I wrote about it some years ago can't find the article

I can’t speak of coaching oddities like that, and it’s not what I was referring too.


I’m hard pressed to recall instances where a Cowher team was out schemed

Outplayed, yes

Did it happen, outside of games against the patriots? I’m sure it did.

But not as regularly as Tomlin was. Being out coaches is Tomlin’s MO.

[CKSteeler]

Cowher surrounded himself with far better coaches in general. So Belichick got the better of him a few times with NE, but I'd have had far more faith in Cowher eventually knocking those bastards off than I ever did Mediocre Mike.

I have a hard time seeing Brady being in on Tomlin but he apparently endorsed geriatric Pete Carroll last year so who knows.
