It’s up to Tomlin to leave?

If

Jerry Jones listened to the Rich Eisens of the world the 90s Cowboys would have been a perennial loser with the leagues leading rusher, a legendary coach and a pissed off Michael Irvin wanting a trade.

We all know why folks like Eisen don’t dare to criticize Mike Tomlin and instead blow him like he’s one of the greatest coaches in the history of the world.

The issue is, why is it not so obvious to ownership that the fraudlin led Steelers have been ran into the ground?

Why wouldn’t ownership look to right the ship and jettison the dead weight of has been coaches/players no longer beneficial for success?

We’re constantly reassured as ‘just fans’ we don’t know what we don’t know; when We saw the reef long before the alarms began sounding.

Well at least we weren’t afraid of at least acknowledging the obvious flaws and incompetencies and again, we’re just know nothing emotional fans.

Would be a sight to see [I think, most fans would be ecstatic before the draft in Pittsburgh] a new HC, DC, OC, GM and next Gen Owner.

[anpsteel]

Tim Benz and all the other apologists can shove it


The way to make sure Tomlin is fired is to stop going to the games


Empty stands


Period


That is the only thing that will absolutely make Art can the shithead

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Having a contract with Tomlin is like being a woman in a Wahhabist marriage, I guess.

Only one side is allowed to divorce.

Is Art allowed to drive a car and show his face?

[anpsteel]

Maybe Tomlin has the evidence that the league is fixed and that’s why he is untouchable and appears to make only minimal effort

[CKSteeler]

Another day, another league "insider" saying Tomlin is untouchable.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/stee ... turn-2026/

Says no coach pays less attention to outside noise and he's told Tomlin is just focused on winning like always. It's very easy to tune out outside noise when you have had this ridiculous amount of job security and power within an organization with no real push to be better. Real fucking easy. No one else in the 4 major sports leagues get that.

Then we get to hear how Roethlisberger was disrespectful with a "source" saying that he just wants to remain relevant. Because he said what every mother fucker in Pittsburgh is thinking which is that the time is long past to move on from this fucking clown.

Dino Tomlin hope he opens up the wizard curtain and tarnished his pops legacy

It's wild how he can have such a shitty record, but the media and NFL HQ can keep him celebrated and god-ike and also highly and richly employed.

What the hell is this This isn't football at all, it's something else.

You know what this is.

We all know what this is (even if some are uncomfortable in admitting it and would never say it out loud)

It’s social engineering.

It’s propping up an incompetent because he’s Johnny Bravo and everyone knows it. That “Fire Tomlin” chant was like the little girl pointing at the emperor and announcing to the townsfolk that the guy was naked.

Now EVERYONE can say out loud what we’ve all seen and have been thinking for years.

If the Steelers don’t pull the plug soon after the season ends, this is going to get ugly. And it should. Every day that passes will continue to add fuel to the fire… more stories will come out. They need to work on Tomlin’s exit story.

Should I go down this rabbit hole by asking a simple question "Why?".

Probably not.

Folks finally coming round to the reality that this franchise is lost in the dead zone.

I have a feeling they show up this week and win. Not that it makes a difference but a win changes nothing for me. Baltimore only scored 14 points against the worst defense in the NFL.

If BAL gets homered by the refs - at home - we know the league is fixed.

[Gonzo]

this game will come down to turnovers and harbaugh

the steelers are going to sell out to stop the run - passing will be there for the taking. but harbaugh as we have seen before may choose not to take it. if they do take it and the steeelrs can't get turnovers they are in trouble

i predict both coaches will tighten up up to incredible levels and you will see a horrible game. someone will win 13-10

they will set football back 90 years

The NFL put the most flag happy crew in the league in charge of this game. A crew with a rookie head ref.

I'm not going to say fixed, but they most definitely create the impression at a minimum that they want some influence on the outcome. They want to call it tight obviously and to prevent anything chippy that may make the game more interesting.

this is where I am at. I sometimes feel silly posting here the same old stuff. maybe it's therapy . but more so I think it's confusion ... I am both baffled and curious about this weird disconnect between the Obvious and what interested parties Want it to Be ... and as you said later ... Why? Why do they want it to be otherwise - why do they care. And No - I don't think it's all about Rooney rule crap ... Because tomlin is treated completely differently than any other coach including coaches who were respected even more like Dungy - who is simply just a good man.

The Steelers have been bad to mediocre for a decade. Looking at his whole career Tomlin has a bit of success early but not much more than many others. he is about to set a very bad playoff record and he set it in insanely embarrassing fashion - beaten by bad teams and QBs, averaging 40 points a game given up, his teams being called quitters by the commenter, idiotic decision making and scared coaching and the Same game plan every single time. This isn't debatable - he has a mediocre record with playoff failure. And the problem his team has with effort and being fully predictable has always been the same.

So ... why is everyone tieing themselves in knots to support him - why do they care ... he is just another coach in a game that always fires coaches who don't perform. just like players - we don't hear this crap with players that are benched or cut or booed

[langer]

What if Rooney actually fires Tomlin....and names Austin HC?

If it were Flores, I would applaud it.

A fraud taking over for an even bigger fraud.

I can see them doing it.

If

Jerry Jones listened to the Rich Eisens of the world the 90s Cowboys would have been a perennial loser with the leagues leading rusher, a legendary coach and a pissed off Michael Irvin wanting a trade.

We all know why folks like Eisen don’t dare to criticize Mike Tomlin and instead blow him like he’s one of the greatest coaches in the history of the world.

Tomlin was a DEI hire before it was a thing

Tomlin was a DEI hire before it was a thing

Affirmative action was a thing for decades. DEI was just re-labeling the same tired bullshit the left has pushed since well before I was born.

I know this site has a lot of old ass boomers, but it's easy even for them to forget just how recycled so many of the arguments in society are. I listen to a lot of older radio. Art Bell or Howard Stern before he sucked. That sort of stuff. They cover the news and you know what it reminds me? The storylines get repackaged and tweaked, but it's really been the same old shit for decades upon decades.

Whenever the left pushes a narrative and it gets tired and people are sick of it, they rebrand and push it under a different name. That's all DEI really is. The "progressive" party really doesn't have any new ideas. All the shit they push as new and innovative has been done before throughout human history and guess what? It all fucking sucks. It all fucking fails. It's all fucking stupid.

Regardless, Schefter is reporting that the Steelers wont' fire Tomlin, but that they have a decision to make in March. 2027 is apparently a team option year and he's insinuating they may not pick it up (but also hinting that the team doesn't really want to deal with any of this during the season while they're still "competitive"). He laughably makes it sound like the Steelers may have actually enter 2026 with Tomlin as a lame duck.

That's not going to happen. They either exercise or plan to exercise that option or get rid of him through the options we've all discussed. But he won't and they won't go through that charade of having him coach out his final year with no long term commitment.

Reality just has a conservative bias what can I say?

It's not particularly political to note the reality that DEI is repackaged nonsense. Go cry and bite down into your pillow for your boyfriend.

Get off this board, loser.

Tell me there, Socrates, what would you call the Rooney Rule if not affirmative action? And in practice how does DEI differ from affirmative action?

No one cares about being labeled by people like you anymore. Your accusations hold no power and it's particularly comical coming from someone who has directed far worse than what I just said at players and coaches on the team as you pretend to be the first person to realize that rooting against the team to get rid of Tomlin.
