Hairball out in Baltimore

[langer]

Harbs had Derrick Henry and didnt use him.

I can see that causing strife backstage.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

So, Hairball there 18 years, not like Jets, jettisoning coaches every other year.

Stability, but stale and stagnation Baltimore became. Art Rooney sees that situation as his own, and decides to do what we ALL want!!

Win or Lose, they separate.

[langer]

WHy couldnt Harbs decided when he wanted to leave. Thought thats how it works with successful head coaches.

According to Swissvale, that’s how the coaching game works

Wrong again Swiss

[bradshaw2ben]

I'm in disbelief that people think Todd Monken was the problem.

The problem was that Lamar spent half the year injured and out and the other half either being told to or deciding to stay in the pocket and not do any designed runs.

Monken is not good, he's great.

Making shit up again. I never said that Steelers approach to Tomlin applies to Harbaugh.

You have issues understanding

Harbaugh could be said to also have a lifetime job and decide to leave, 18 yrs but ultimately the owner canned him

Just like all other head coaches end up, not by their own choice

Mutual parting of the ways is parseltongue for Fired !

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Dave, you’re Fired !!

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

The fans displeasure seems to have convinced Bichotti

Hope springs eternal here and note there is no “mutual parting of the ways” quotations

Good fan banter on the internal issues. We all assume Art isn’t listening. I bet he is this year

Agree with you on plenty. I don’t believe they separate.

Missing the playoffs maaaaaybe would have nudged Dunce Rooney. Getting trounced Monday might still might. But that part I doubt after the dullard said once you are in the playoffs “it’s a crapshoot”.

If we lose a close one Monday Dumb Dumb Rooney is going to go all ahhhh schucks if only we got a bounce here and a bounce there.

Jibba wants some participation trophy bullshit bout being longest tenured this, or most Steelers wins that. He certainly doesn’t grind for a SB like Cowher did.

Jibbs got his in 08 (thanks Ben/Holmes) and has been livin on easy street since.

Now I do certainly hope you are right. And that will last for a short while as I’m 90% certain if Dunce Rooney is still in charge he will fuck up the hire.

He won’t get the best or most qualified. He will go with the safe bet that checks 3 boxes.

The Ravens organization is a LOT different than Pittsburgh. Hate them, but respect their willingness to make tough decisions.

They fired their OC mid season (at 9-4) and went on to win the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh fired Canada because he threatened NHALS.

Tomlin will NEVER get fired here. He will leave on his own accord.

[Ice]

Let’s hope they don’t hire Stefanski

Stefanski is going to the Giants

I’ve been hearing that the Giants covet Harbaugh.

He fits the Tom Coughlin template, in a way.

[CKSteeler]

I wouldn't be surprised if Stefanski goes on to success, but I was never overly impressed with him. He always seemed to get cute against the Steelers. A lot of games where I thought they just had to run the ball and they'd have been better off.

[SteelerDayTrader]

Lolololz


Wow


Rooney has got to be pissing his pants laughing

Browns unload Stephanski
Ravens unload Harbawl

I’d say both franchises will struggle the next year or two at least given QB / HC issues

[langer]

Wait, they have a stated goal winning Championships.

Why?

That makes no sense.

Yes they’re different but no HC gets to choose to leave on own accord unless they volunteer to do so, which happens like 0.0001% of the time. That is the exception to the rule.

That said I pray Dumblin decides to walk to TV as first shoe to drop

Now that playoff game is upon us. I suspect 8-12 record will the next stat

[swissvale72]

You asshats are funny.... still delusional, still holding out hope that the Steelers loss on Monday night will move Rooney to fire Tomlin, and somehow thinking that Harbaugh's firing will give him the energy to do so.

Don't you ask hats get it? Apparently not. While the game on Sunday night Michaelangelo version of NFL football as far as its purity and excellence, that fucking game was equivalent to a playoff win for real, maybe two. The way that fourth quarter played out Aaron Rodgers moving his team down the field not once but twice the prime time Sunday night crowd down there hysterical would be beyond hysterical. That's all really Rooney needs. Tomlin be signing that extension comes spring… Unless he wants to be in studio next season… But it will be his choice.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Here is a happy ending

Tomlin and Rodgers do a happy ending SB victory, and both retire

[K_C_]

7 teams called about Harbaugh even though there are only 6 openings.

I’d bet anything that 7th team was Miami.

I'm thinking it's Buffalo or even Philadelphia, depending on how the playoffs go for them.

Lurie and Roseman in particular are ruthless...they'd think nothing twice about casting off Sirianni.

Monken is not good, he's great.

I’m a huge Monken fan

Have credited many times for winning Kirby his back to back natties at Georgia

But

While at Georgia, Monken and Qb Stetson Bennett reached a point where they were ALLEGEDLY not speaking. Buster Faulkner and Todd Harkey were the go betweens

Now

If you believe the rumors, Decosta and the Ravens wanted Harbaugh to move on from Monken.

Harbaugh to his credit refused so was fired

So why did the Ravens want Monken gone?

Is it because he occasionally forgets he has Derrick Henry?

Or

Was there a Lamar problem?

Maybe Monken isn’t the easiest guy to get along with

Regardless

Monken could coach on my team anytime

And if he had anything to do with Ravens imploding all the better

[jebrick]

Harbaugh will not be the last HC that L. Jackson will get fired.

This post shows that you understand and tacitly agree with the fundamental points us "miserables" were saying about Sunday night's game- Tomlin was feeling heat, his job was in realistic jeopardy, fan reaction matters and was having an impact, but the win Sunday turned the tide and saved Tomlin's job. So why make a hundred posts arguing about it and denying the link between Tomlin's performance and his job security?

Had the Steelers lost Sunday, Tomlin would have been at risk. That's why us "haters" were rooting for a loss. Pretty simple.

i think the Ravens absolutely have a Lamar problem. I dont know what they do with that
I think he know that he cant keep running like he did and wants to be something now that he isnt very good at

No, I don't agree with that at all. I don't think Tomlin's job was ever in jeopardy....just that if you were still believing the loss on Monday, it's his job in jeopardy… It won't

[bradshaw2ben]

If BAL hires Minter and Minter brings Kingsbury as OC, they will contend for a Championship unless Lamar ages out. That is a perfect match for the situation.

[W&M_Steeler]

if you were still believing the loss on Monday, it's his job in jeopardy… It won't

I agree with you here. Tomlin's Option will be picked up even if the Texans kick their asses on Monday.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

I don't understand why Penn State didn't wait for the end of the NFL season to hire its coaching replacement.

[.Kodiak]

I think it's hilarious that, after 18+ years, whether or not to fire a HC comes down to a FGA.

I seriously doubt that's the case. But it's funny watching people claim it.
