1. First and foremost most of you here are not only total dumbfucks but completely crass and decidedly low brow jackasses as well. No disrespect. Just stating a fact. Most of you here shit and play with the smoke. To a man almost all of you are celebrating Tomlin’s exit. The fact that all you hateful extremely low information morons (again, no disrespect. Just stating the truth) are totally one way about this makes me wonder.

2. The reaction of current and former players has been almost completely the other way except for bitter grumpuses like Harrison. That’s not typical.

3. Currently we are left with the dumbfuck cheapass Rooneys and their collection of stooges and asskissers. Zero real football knowledge in the building.

Great post. Not surprising coming from a SteelerFury Award-Winning Poster.

All this whistling thru the graveyard and dancing on his grave is too much.

Tomlin was a perfect hire in 2007. He had tremendous success in the first half of his career. The 2010s were filled with tons of great memories. It was pretty damn fun being a Steelers fan during that time all things considered, no?

The league changed and he couldn't evolve. His roster aged out and he wasn't the right guy for trying to remake a team and building it from the ground floor. And yeah, he hung on a few years too long, but it's hard to be too pissed at a NFL head coach for being too arrogant/stubborn, as most of them are to a fault. His players genuinely ADORE him. And look, if he wanted to, he could've dug in and likely would still be our coach. He walked away leaving what, something in the area of $50M on the table per Dulac (Gerry is a dunce I know, but still)?

I literally rooted for losses the last two years. I wanted to get our faces rubbed in shit and get embarrassed every week just so it would lead to this change. But I'm still going to celebrate the dude and his overall time here. We got what we wanted. Let's be happy, optimistic, and appreciative.

Concur 100%....did he waste some of Ben's years, no doubt, did he have some bad injury misfortune during the 2010's, no doubt, did he make some boneheaded decisions on game days, no doubt, but you don't win 200 games in the NFL on your first crack at becoming a head coach without doing a lot of good things as well. Was it time for him to go, no doubt, will ArtII pick the right guy to lead the Steelers for the next 10-20 years, well the jury is still out on that, I do no one thing for sure, whoever they hire, on this sight someone will be bitching about it by week 5 for sure, its just what fans do....congrats to Tomlin for the success he had and for being probably a really good guy, just wish he would not have been so stubborn with his overall philosophy, but in the end he always had the Steelers in the conversation and at least always in the mix for a playoff spot.

Personally, I am glad this chapter is coming to an end, here's to hoping the Steelers find the right guy to lead them and find their next franchise QB sooner rather than later, because if they don't find the QB, chances of them making deep playoff runs is slim to none no matter who the next coach is.

[franco32]

We can all celebrate and appreciate Tomlin's first 5 years in the league. But his ego, stubbornness, inability or unwillingness to hire decent assistants, Jurassic game plans, horrible talent evaluation ability, etc. were too much to tolerate. Why should I feel bad when he collected MILLIONS and did such a mediocre job.

I could care less if some players support him. He's a players coach. Guys are going to love him. But, it's about winning championships (or should be). Frankly, TJ and Cam are losers and should have done more to call-out all the dysfunction.

It does feel a bit overboard. But does seem to follow trends I have noticed here over the past 10 years or so.

I don't really see it as a huge cause for celebration, even though it was a few years past time. Dan would have pulled the trigger about 5-ish years ago, would have gone down the same way as it did now, to the public, he steps down.

Nothing to celebrate. I wanted #7 with Rodgers, didn't happen, coach forced out, no way of knowing if they will make a smart hire. Art II did not seem to have inherited his father's football acumen gene, unfortunately, and Khan is a money guy not a football guy. Hopefully, Wiedl will be in the room. Not sure how much football Danny III knows.

I think where Tomlin made his fatal blunder is in failing to replace the top notch coordinators and assistants he inherited with similar types. He was most successful in that kind of model, where he is chief motivator and front man and manager, but the assistants work on the x's and o's, while also contributing to talent evaluation and development.

I am anticipating good things but no way to know at this point.

1. The reason I enjoy this site is all the dumbfucks crass low brow jackasses morons blowing shit smoke.

2. Seems typical to me for friends and employees to get choked up when the boss gets the retiring firing routine. Owners and investors instead look at the product and return on investment. Fans are investing their time and money, they aren't friends coworkers or employees. No reason for any of us to get teary eyed.

Harrison has a beef with Tomlin but other former players aren't sad to see him move on. Ben suggested he should coach college instead of the pros, pretty big insult. Even Clark was finally ready to see him move on.

3. Its been mentioned that Danny Rooney is becoming more involved and it's been suggested that his football acumen may be significantly better than ArtII.

I feel like we've been in a long curse on the Black and Gold good fortunes because it was overdue for Tomlin to move on. The gleeful celebration is a reaction to the curse of Tomlin being lifted from the team.

There is now hope for a better future instead of another groundhog day. That we have a chance to get a better return on our investments.

I don't celebrate Tomlin getting canned, I celebrate the chance for improvement and better days. Something that couldn't happen until he left.

Could things get worse with a new coach? Maybe, but then we will have something new to complain about. Life goes on.

I do no one thing for sure, whoever they hire, on this sight someone will be bitching about it by week 5 for sure, its just what fans do....

Week 5? Hell, there will be posters bitching 5 minutes after it’s announced!

I watched a video earlier this morning with Albert Breer. Now, I’ve heard of Breer, but don’t know a lot about him, so I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about. He was asked about Brian Flores fit with the Steelers as head coach. He suggested that Pittsburgh and Baltimore are the only two organizations where the new coach will have to adjust to the organization system, rather than being able to instill their own. If true, that’s concerning.

1. This reads like it was written by the president of the Mike Tomlin and TJ Watt ballwashing club. How fat must somebody be to create smoke when they shit? 400+ at least. What a crass and low brow thing to say.

2. Roethlisberger, Bettis, Essex etc.. many other former players publicly stated Tomlin was outdated and needed to go.

3. Rooney is a known problem. Weidl is a good talent evaluator.

4. If it’s a long down turn, it’s because your hero, Michael P. Tomlin left the franchise with an aging roster, no QB and absolutely no coaches. The exact opposite of what he inherited from Cowher.

[.Kodiak]

Newsflash: This team has already been wandering the desert for nearly a decade, with no fucking hope of Tomlin ever leading us out of it.

"Hope" was Tomlin and Deuce walking off into the woods and only one of them coming back.

1. Over generalized statement, check!
2. Trying to act as the smartest person in the forum, check!
3. Totally coming off as an assclown, check!
4. No Disrespect, check!

Many have called out Tomlin [more recently] stating the very obvious truth about the flaw that was Tomlin’s ultimate undoing.

It is painfully obvious why the first several years of his career were on a HOF trajectory. Until staff began leaving. Hmmmmm….

The fact that he did not [for whatever reason] surround himself with the smartest football minds available. Why is that?

Something us ‘crass, decidedly low brow jackasses’, ‘low information morons’ have been saying for well more than 15 years. Including you.

Merril Hoge spoke to it recently…the history doesn’t lie. Tomlin did not by choice surround himself with smart people.

Went on to say Tomlin was not good at evaluating coaching staff and there wasn’t ever any depth around him except initially.

Something discussed here ad nauseam the fact that he just hired the run of the mill cast offs and nepo-hires or as we saw it, ‘Yes Men.’

I’m not happy he was fired. Never want a guy to lose his job. That said, I’m sure he’ll be more than fine financially.

Was he long overdue to move on? Absolutely yes. About 8 to 10 years passed due in my opinion. If not more.

I’m happy because for a 3rd time in my lifetime I get to see a new era of Steeler football and that excites me with something to look forward to.

What that’s gonna look like I’m sure I don’t know at this point adding thrill to that excitement. So glad it’s finally time to turn the page.

Now kindly go shit yourself….

It does feel a bit overboard. But does seem to follow trends I have noticed here over the past 10 years or so.

I don't really see it as a huge cause for celebration, even though it was a few years past time. Dan would have pulled the trigger about 5-ish years ago, would have gone down the same way as it did now, to the public, he steps down.

Nothing to celebrate. I wanted #7 with Rodgers, didn't happen, coach forced out, no way of knowing if they will make a smart hire. Art II did not seem to have inherited his father's football acumen gene, unfortunately, and Khan is a money guy not a football guy. Hopefully, Wiedl will be in the room. Not sure how much football Danny III knows.

I think where Tomlin made his fatal blunder is in failing to replace the top notch coordinators and assistants he inherited with similar types. He was most successful in that kind of model, where he is chief motivator and front man and manager, but the assistants work on the x's and o's, while also contributing to talent evaluation and development.

I am anticipating good things but no way to know at this point.

I agree mostly ... especially with the part about the downturn when he lost quality assistants and then hired yes men.
As for the original post … I agree that personal stuff and wild sexy rumors are horseshit and crass
But celebrating the hopeful end to a long bleak Winter and speculating how it went down is fair play

definitely feel if he had replaced his coordinators with good football minds and let them have an ounce of autonomy we would all have a different opinion of him. his rigidity to philosophy is his biggest downfall i think. he had the killer bees and still had his OC grinding clock to shorten the game and win on defense. but i will say i believe the stories from Harrison and everyone else that Harrisons superbowl td return was a product of a hungry young coach seeing the team get many turnovers and not work as a unit to deposit them for 6pts and then coaching them up to do so. i just think he lost that fire and hunger and didnt bring in new minds that had it, to replace it any and the team got stale as a result

You've got like 8900 more posts here than I do. And I have no idea if you're a crass joker, an ego maniac, or being sarcastic. To be honest, I won't spend a minute trying to figure you and this shitpost out.

Mediocre Mike is gone. I'm hoping the next coach is better and is actually able to have a much better set of supporting coaches. Tomlin was shit for coach selection and development. Other than him having relationships with the player and coaches I don't know what positives he brought to the team. He didn't coach the O or the D. And his clock management was shit. His teams always played down to their opponents making EVERY game far less enjoyable for fans than they should have been.
