Wow. Steelers fired Canada

[BethlehemSteel]

Cook and joe are discussing on the fan 93.7 that this moment could be the event to move on from Tomlin

He could extend Mike or perhaps ask him to resign

Keep in mind he didn’t get an extension last yr

Zero chance of Tomlin getting canned anytime soon

I think you might be placing that bet way too early. This nationwide negative press finally moved Art Douche to stop the revenue slide. I think it will be a “retirement” , decided by Mike to save face.

Get back to finishing the harvest

Sullivan sure has done wonders for Kenny. I totally get why he’s been promoted.

Why does Pat Meyer still have a job?

Pass pro is SHOIT.

Pass protection is shit in large part due to the fact that nobody fears the passing game. Why not tee off every down when you know it’s a run or short pass. Teams stack the box and attack the Steelers offense knowing there is no threat of a pass to the middle of the field and the QB can’t and won’t beat them deep.

Oh no doubt. A better QB the line looks better.

Question for you: would you keep Meyer or look to upgrade?

Upgrade.

[franco32]

I'm not looking for miracles from Sullivan, but can we please just have:

1. Some formations and plays that the opponents don't immediately recognize?
2. Running different plays (including both run and pass) out of the same formations?
3. Not using the same plays multiple times a game? (I think I counted 5-6 of the exact same running play against GB.)

If the extend Mike, I think that is Rooney showing he (Rooney) was the reason they kept Canada. If Tomlin resigns at the end of the year, I think it shows that Tomlin was the reason we kept Canada. If Tomlin leaves at the end of next year, I think it shows that Rooney doesn't want to fire people under contract until the contract is up.

Tomlin is so popular he’s going to get a NFL studio job and make a ton of $$$. He’s gotta be close to calling it. And really with Kenny the writing might be on the wall. He’s going to want to tell his grandkids that he NHALS. If Kenny and this merry band of assholes we have at QB will threaten that, I think he will retire (from coaching).

Orange, there is a higher likelihood that you or I are diagnosed with ball cancer than Tomlin resigns or gets fired. We both know this.

Orangesteel, I hear you. My opinion is different. Tomlin has often stated that his dream job is coaching in the NFL. He would have made a lot more taking the coaching job of USC, and you remember his response to that. He could have a studio job when ever he wanted, but continues to coach. I think he will have to be let go to leave the Steelers. And I don't think Rooney will do that. Key to our success will be whom they hire as the new coordinator.

Our senses have been dulled with this idiot at OC for the past 3 years. Ben sucked in this offense. I believe our defense is a lot stronger now, and will be amazing when all the injured layers get back. If a new OC can make the offense middle of the road, we will be tough to beat. That is my opinion for what little it is worth. I am going to celebrate today.

[Deebo]

More accurately it was DJ and Najee who finally accomplished something

Kenny could’ve gone right on sucking but without the two whiny bitches rocking the boat the barely, lucid mope Art Ii would still be asleep at the wheel

I actually think it was Batch's commentary that convinced Art to move on. Charlie is still held in high regard and respected by Steelers Executives

The commentary yesterday where Batch said Rooney is too cheap to fire anyone or pay for top tier coaching talent?

Yup- the fact that Batch called them out spurred this. Once Batch made the indictment, Art had two choices: 1) Stay the course and potentially let the public think you're a cheap ass or 2) "Address" it by proxy firing Canada.

He chose #2 without having to say anything. The fact the Steelers org made it a point to say "Rooney fired Canada" and made no reference to Tomlin should raise some eyebrows.

Rooney will never do it, but I would LOVE for Tomlin to "retire" with a year left on his contract and then when he comes back we could seek trade compensation and fleece someone big time.

Sure, I could also see Tomlin coaching college ball. That rah rah shit goes a long way in those ranks. He’d be paid a ton, too.

I’ve been assured by a poaster that there’s no evidence whatsoever that Rooney is cheap, tho.

Someone said Tomlin would be the ideal face of the Boys and Girls Club of America and they'd be absolutely spot on.

His other calling card definitely would be college (and I've said this forever). Tomlin would be one of the top recruiters in all of CFB. The parents would love the bullshit he'd feed them about making their son into a man.

And it's true, the rah rah stuff has it's place in CFB. His message won't get stale as you have a new class every 3-4 years. CFB is a great place for him

[K_C_]

Pro coaches rarely go back to the college ranks unless they fail miserably in the NFL.

Why? College football coaching requires a lot more work. Recruiting alone takes up a ridiculous amount of time, especially now with the NIL money and the transfer portal.

While I hate Tomlin, he'd be hired the same day the Steelers fired him by many NFL teams.

Tomlin never has to worry about coaching at the college level.

Canada does not get fired today if Kenny hits the wide open Dionte Johnson for the game winning TD. In fact people would be talking about how Canada’s offense gashed the leagues best D on the ground. Kenny did it! Kenny did it!!!

Nah
You’re an the board’s leading anti Kenny pickemite
You enjoy rubbing KC’s little nose it
I get it
He peed on your carpet one too many times
But had Dionte and Najee taken the Cam Heyward “screw off” approach Canada would still be Steelers OC at least until the season’s conclusion

That’s also true. College coaching is way harder than it used to be, recruiting notably, because you have to continually kiss these kids asses so they don’t enter the portal. Before you only had to woo them once to get them and their parents to commit.

Tomlin probably doesn’t have the energy for that. But he for sure would be widely sought after; the $$$ might be too good to pass up.

But yes Deebo that Boys & Girls Club President is spot on! Najee can join him on his roadshows in a few years too.

[bradshaw2ben]

Was just popping in to post this. Of course I'm sure there is an offensive guru waiting in the wings to take over, and there will be changes aplenty to what we've seen so far the last few seasons, implemented almost instantly. Time to unleash offensive hell in December.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Maybe in 2010-2013, but I think a lot of really intelligent coaches and owners see him differently.

You can respect what a guy has achieved and understand it was successful for a moment in time, but that doesn’t mean he’s the answer for a franchise going forward. Not in the modern NFL. I think you are looking at it too simplistically.

[bradshaw2ben]

Better late then never is right. I feel so much better unless they make Sullivan run the same garbage.

I expect maybe a little one or two game aberration to keep the troops happy and then right back to the same shit when things get tight.

[bradshaw2ben]

This is only a good thing if they go outside the organization and do an all encompassing search for the next hotshot young OC, then admit their mistake on Pickett and move off him ASAP. If Rooney allows Tomlin to promote Sullivan or Faulkner these guys deserve the mediocrity they get.

They do not need a hotshot OC (what hotshot worth a crap would come to work under Tomlinball?). They need a head coach who is an offensive mastermind.

[jeemie]

Steelers RB coach Eddie Faulkner to be named interim OC
https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2023/ ... wmxDLqdnTs

In other words, same shit, different day.

Although maybe they will have Kenny only throw 10 passes a game now.

Dude.........

Tomlin is already a Hall of Famer. He's a shoe-in.

The NHALS would be huge to so many organizations that lose on a consistent basis, you don't think the fucking Bears or Jets or Giants, or Panthers and too many more teams to mention would FUCKING JIZZ at the opportunity to hire Tomlin?

Holy shit.

[bradshaw2ben]

Kenny Pickett = Coach Killer

Nah

Coach=Kenny Killer

Even a big goof like Ed Orgeron knew to cut bait with Canada

Why do we have to choose? They both can go deep sea diving.

All that spooge from the circle jerk the Jacuzzi Pee Club had after the Browns loss must be messing with your senses.

Dulac says "Rooney" not Tomlin. Read anything into that?

Steelers president Art Rooney II has fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada, per team sources.

Anyone who’s followed this franchise closely for say the last 40 years knows the Rooneys make coaching hires and decisions. Sure they like to get buy in from the GM and the HC but ultimately it’s an ownership “organizational” decision.

[Orangesteel]

What has Tomlin shown over the last 13 years that would make him such a sought after NFL head coach, other than the NHALS? I mean is it possible that a really bad franchise would bring him in during the normal coaching carousel process? Sure that’s fair. But I also think his reputation is now tied to what he hasn’t achieved in over a decade. I think that enthusiasm is way overblown.

Well you are commonly known as the biggest dipshit on this website so I’m not sure I quite give a fuck what you think.

[bradshaw2ben]

As long as he went to North Catholic and has ties to the Detroit Lions... or were those just Colbert things?

That was a Colbert thing. They need to redo many of their scouts due to this.

The Rooneys are all North Catholic boys. Detroit is Colbert.

Well Detroit is also part of their shared scouting service, BLESTO. They work together a lot.
