Spam the Steelers Front Office campaign

I remember when Browns fans flew a plane over their stadium telling Modell to sell the team in the early 90s.

Doubt any of this works but it’s fun to make believe it would…

We’d be better off trying to get someone to convince Jibbs that he could make more money as a commentator/analysis for a network. Less work too. He’d be in his wheelhouse! He can spew his cliches all the time and wouldn’t even be called out if he was wrong.

Only customer action that would impact Rooney's decision making would be not watching/going to games.

He just got a $30,000,000 bonus signing Russ and nobody else. Otherwise they would have had to pay another QB $30M.

Man, that really makes you sick realizing THAT team yesterday had a QB room that's cheaper, combined, than an R1 QB.

Highest paid defense in the league got literally run over by BAL.

The people that try to sell Tomlin "overachieving with subpar talent".... Even if that statement is true - and I dispute they have below average talent - it's not an excuse it's an indictment. He's been here 18 years. He owns the roster and coaching staff, and has for a long time.

And the dude from PPG was railing on the amount going to Minkah as criminal. Paying him like he is the Michael Jordan of safeties.

It is an indictment especially considering that money spent on a WR2 would have gotten us a home playoff game at least. But for some reason they sat on their hands.

What was criminal was taking Minkah out of his playmaking role and trying to turn him into Chris Hope.

Turned him into such a passive player that he became invisible and almost always out of the play.

Mr. Art Rooney II
Owner, Pittsburgh Steelers
3400 South Water Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15203

Dear Mr. Rooney,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a lifelong supporter of the Pittsburgh Steelers and someone who holds the legacy of this proud franchise near and dear to my heart. It is out of this deep respect for the Steelers’ rich history and a desire to see the team return to championship glory that I feel compelled to express my concerns regarding the direction of the team under Head Coach Mike Tomlin’s leadership.

Mike Tomlin has undeniably had a successful tenure with the Steelers, achieving a Super Bowl victory and numerous playoff appearances. However, in recent seasons, it has become increasingly clear that the team’s performance has stagnated, and the culture of excellence that once defined the Steelers is slipping away. While Tomlin’s regular-season win-loss record remains respectable, the absence of playoff success and failure to consistently compete at the highest level is concerning. The team has not appeared in a Super Bowl since the 2008 season, and the lack of progression in recent years points to systemic issues within the coaching staff and overall team philosophy.

There is no doubt that Tomlin is a skilled motivator and a strong leader in many respects, but his inability to adapt to changing trends in the game, as well as his repeated failures to properly manage in-game situations, have proven to be detrimental to the team. Time and time again, we have seen poor game management, questionable decisions, and an overall lack of discipline on the field. These issues are not just isolated to a few games but seem to be a consistent pattern under his watch.

Moreover, there seems to be a growing divide between the Steelers’ front office, fanbase, and the coaching staff, particularly as younger, more dynamic teams rise to prominence. The Steelers deserve a coach who can not only maintain the franchise’s core values but also propel the team forward into a new era of football excellence. The lack of sustained success in recent years is not indicative of a championship-caliber coach, and it is critical that the franchise recognizes this before further damage is done to the Steelers’ legacy.

While it is never an easy decision to part ways with a head coach who has led the team for so long, I truly believe that a fresh perspective and a new direction is what this team needs. The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, and they deserve a head coach who can restore the team to its rightful place among the league’s elite.

I implore you, Mr. Rooney, to make the difficult but necessary decision to part ways with Mike Tomlin and bring in a new leader who can inspire the team, adapt to modern football, and bring back the championship pedigree that Steelers fans, players, and coaches have come to expect.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I remain a loyal fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and hope that, under your guidance, the team will once again reach the heights of greatness.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

Dear Art Rooney II,

I hope this letter finds you in good health, or at least in a better mood than a certain coach of yours has left me in after the disastrous end to the 2024-2025 Pittsburgh Steelers season. I write to you today as a lifelong fan, deeply invested in the franchise’s future, but I cannot, in good conscience, remain silent any longer. The time has come to address the situation at hand—Mike Tomlin’s tenure as head coach—and the evidence is overwhelming that it's time for a change.

Let’s talk about that five-game losing streak to end the season. It was not just a five-game losing streak; it was a grand spectacle, a trainwreck of epic proportions that would have made the Titanic blush. You might be thinking, “It happens. Teams go through tough patches,” and yes, I agree. But it’s one thing to lose in a competitive fashion. It's another to lose in the fashion of a team that seems utterly directionless, without a clue as to how to fix what’s broken. And let’s be honest, Art—what’s broken is Tomlin.

Here we are, year after year, with no answer to the most glaring issue of all: the quarterback position. Ever since Ben Roethlisberger retired, it’s been like watching a blindfolded man trying to solve a Rubik’s cube. Sure, we’ve thrown in some young quarterbacks, but it’s as if Mike Tomlin believes that simply giving a quarterback a helmet and a jersey automatically transforms them into a Super Bowl contender. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t. Tomlin has shown zero ability to develop a quarterback into a franchise player. We’ve had so many quarterbacks rotate in and out of the starting position that I’m starting to think our quarterback room has become a revolving door with a “No Experience Needed” sign above it.

How many more years of mediocrity are we willing to endure before we finally admit that Tomlin’s “win-now” mentality doesn’t extend to the most important position on the field? The Steelers have been wandering in the quarterback wilderness since Ben left, and it’s time for a coach who can actually develop a quarterback to step in. Someone who doesn’t just shrug and go “Well, we’ll figure it out,” as if they’re watching a bad reality show where the plot makes no sense and the characters have no depth. Art, we need someone who actually has a clue.

Now, moving on to another major concern of mine, one that affects the running game, the offensive line, and my mental health. Najee Harris. I have to say it, Art—Najee is the slowest running back in NFL history. I mean, the man could be outrun by a glacier in the middle of winter. When I watch him run, it’s like watching a sloth race a tortoise in slow motion. He can’t even outrun his own offensive linemen, and let’s be honest, Art, those guys are not exactly track stars. At this rate, I’m considering suggesting that we change our offensive scheme to “two-yard gains and pray.”

Look, I get it—Najee is tough, and he’s got heart, but heart doesn’t outrun defenders who seem to be wearing jetpacks while Najee’s rocking a pair of ankle weights. We need to have an honest conversation about whether or not Najee is truly the solution at running back. And if we’re going to keep him around, we better invest in some additional speed on the field, because, right now, he’s running slower than my grandmother’s old Buick on a cold morning.

But there’s another issue, Art. A far more serious issue that I’m really concerned about, one that could affect the very air quality in the locker room. It’s come to my attention—through sources who may or may not be former employees of Pringles—that Mike Tomlin has developed a rather unusual hobby: farting in Pringles cans, duct-taping them shut, storing them for months, and then opening them up to inhale the “goodness.” You heard me correctly, Art. The man is basically creating his own little “fart collection,” which he then breathes in with the fervor of a man who’s just discovered the fountain of youth. I don’t know about you, but this doesn’t seem like the kind of behavior that fosters a healthy, productive environment for our players.

The smell alone must be toxic, Art. I don’t even know how to begin to imagine what the locker room must smell like after Tomlin has spent an hour or two indulging in his bizarre ritual. Is this really the atmosphere we want our players to be breathing in as they prepare for the next big game? I can only assume that Pringles’ marketing department would have a field day with this, but from a health standpoint, I’m deeply concerned. This can’t be allowed to continue. Please, Art, for the sake of our team’s air quality and the sanity of every person who works within a 10-foot radius of that locker room, we need a new approach.

Now, I know you’re a reasonable man, and I would be remiss if I didn’t address some of the more... unconventional rumors that have been circulating about Mike Tomlin’s extracurricular activities. I’m talking about the verified reports that Tomlin has been involved in a torrid three-way relationship with quarterback Russell Wilson and, wait for it, Jesus Christ. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, after games, Mike Tomlin, Russell Wilson, and Jesus have been spending an inordinate amount of time together in the showers, “scrubbing down” (their words, not mine) in what can only be described as an intensely flirty atmosphere.

Now, I’m not here to judge anyone’s personal relationships, Art, but when these rumors start to affect the team’s morale, that’s when we have a problem. I’ve heard from multiple sources that the late-night showers, with their prolonged scrubbing sessions, have become a major distraction in the locker room. Players have started to get concerned about the emotional dynamics in play—after all, Russell Wilson and Jesus are both incredibly charming, and I’m sure Tomlin’s romantic entanglement with them has added some unnecessary tension. It’s not that I’m against a little post-game bonding, but it’s hard to maintain focus when your head coach is spending all his time in steamy situations with a quarterback and the Son of God.

And let’s not even get into the rumors about what happens after the showers. The team’s chemistry is being tested, and it’s clear that these... unconventional interactions are not helping things. Art, the locker room is a place for players to bond, focus, and prepare for the game ahead, not a setting for a divine love triangle. We need Mike Tomlin to step up and take control, to be a leader, not a romantic figure caught in the middle of a biblical love affair.

In conclusion, Art, I implore you to take a hard look at the situation at hand. The Pittsburgh Steelers deserve better than what Mike Tomlin has provided over the last several seasons. We deserve a coach who can develop a quarterback, who understands that running backs need more speed than a tortoise, who doesn’t create an atmosphere of weirdness with Pringles cans, and who can keep his romantic entanglements out of the locker room.

I’m not asking for a miracle. I’m just asking for a coach who knows what he’s doing. And right now, I don’t think Mike Tomlin is that coach. Please, Art, consider making a change before the entire franchise goes from bad to worse. The fans—and the players—deserve it.

Sincerely,

A Concerned and Frustrated Steelers Fan

You would have better luck writing that to a hedge fund manager who wants to buy the Steelers.

Art Nepo won himself another Lombardi in his twisted Bad Ronald fantasy world.

Thumbs up to anyone who gets that arcane reference.

I didn't think insulting Jesus would help win over a Catholic like Rooney. I tried a different approach:

Re: This Standard is Not Our Standard

Dear Mr. Rooney,

I hope this letter finds you well. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to write you as a long-time Pittsburgh Steeler fan. As a child growing up in Erie, PA during the 80s, the Pittsburgh Steelers represented more than a sports franchise to me. They were a passion and way of life. It didn’t matter how much we might have struggled following its 1970s glory. I knew the standard that had been set by your family, the front office, Coach Noll, and so many special players.

I could live with poor seasons, and yes, even losing ones. Behind any tough season there was always a realization that we wanted more and that we were trying to be better as a team. After almost five decades of fandom, for the first time in my life I have lost hope in our Steelers. The continued mediocrity under Coach Tomlin has reached such a point that we as fans are all past frustration and anger. We’ve reached a far worse place – indifference. Nights before playoff games used to be met with nerves and anticipation. Now they are met with calm and a resignation that there is no chance of moving forward.

Losing five games in a row without scoring more than 17 points hadn’t happened since 1969 to our franchise. For Coach Tomlin, who is one playoff loss away from having the longest consecutive losing streak in NFL post season history, his standard isn’t just losing. It is having our franchise humiliated in front of the country. In our last six playoff losses we have started those games by falling behind 136-7. It is almost to the point of being completely unbelievable. That 7 points of course was a defensive TD by TJ Watt as you might recall.

Each year we are told as fans that we should appreciate not having a losing season. But instead we are filled with indifference as we know our season will come to an abrupt end as soon as the playoffs begin. As the leader of the Steelers, I’m sure you can see the dysfunction on the team. It’s more than mediocre coaching, lack of creative game plans, undisciplined play, miscommunications, or broken coverages. As fans, we can see the team unraveling, pointing fingers, and lacking faith in their coach, whether they want to admit that publicly or not. The fans and the city which have such a deep connection to our Steelers are unraveling as well.

I’m not alone in being exasperated. I know hundreds of our fans who unanimously feel the same way. Coach Tomlin deserves respect for his tenure and accomplishments with the team. But, we are well past the time where a fresh start is needed. We simply cannot approach games with the mentality of playing checkers when our opponents are playing Grandmaster Chess.

Coach Tomlin in recent years simply hasn’t met our standard. Winning a Lombardi trophy is what our team should strive for every year, and it feels like we have replaced that with a desire to simply not lose too frequently. The continuity your family has brought to our franchise should be admired, but like Coach Noll and Coach Cowher before him, the time comes when change must happen. In 2025, when the rules favor offense more than ever and coaches are designing ever more creative ways to exploit space and score points, our Steelers must adapt and change as well.

It isn’t too late to make the change we all need – the team, the players, the city, and even Coach Tomlin himself. Our fans would welcome a gracious and dignified departure for Coach Tomlin. He will forever be part of our history and take his rightful place along our other great coaches.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[steelmann58]

The fans need to stay away from the stadium this will shake Mr Rooney.

Keep the letters coming. Even though odds are stacked against us that anything is done, we should at least keep trying. We aren't quitters like our Tomlin playoff defenses

What did you write ? Mind if I ask?

I told Deuce that I have been appalled at the current state of the Steelers for quite some time. Also, I hope Stosh67 doesn't mind, but I used his long post to enumerate all of Tomlin's failures. Of course, Deuce probably doesn't read email.

[franco32]

Art 2 Wrote Me Back...No joke!!

He thanked me for the letter and said he shared my frustrations. It wasn't a form letter since he specifically referred to parts of my letter. He said we have NOT changed our standard.

Importantly, he said Coach T, Omar, and everyone in the org know that winning a Lombardi is the goal. They are going to work as hard as possible to make it happen.

So basically this confirms no changes. Any sliver of hope that he would change his mind or entertain a trade are gone. Sucks.

I wrote to Dan Rooney twice. Both times he wrote back. Neither time did he offer any resolution to the purpose of my letter, but at least he responded.

I forget, did you send via email, franco?
