Fire Tomlin and Arthur Smith

Post by TimmayLake » Tue Jan 13, 2026 3:49 am

Smith will take the fall but Tomlin needs to go years ago. I don’t have hope it will happen though.

If this isn't enough to get Tomlin to leave, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, nothing will.

What are we gonna do next year...roll with Howie Long, Jim Plunkett, Ronnie Lott and Lawrence Thomas?

It has to end.

Here's the thing: the only thing the fans can latch on at this point is hope. And if the run it back with Tomlin, what hope do they have next season? Watt is another year older and look at how washed up he looked this season. They have no QB. They have no WRs outside of DK. They lack any real star power or elite talent.

It's a hopeless situation. And that's why I think if they can't mutually agree to part ways that they will *shockingly* let Tomlin go.
*reserves the right to roots for losses*

No no no, see just saying this is bad, because it won't ever happen.

The only way the franchise gets competitive is to hire a great offensive mind at HC. Go watch the depleted 49ers game where they beat the defending champs on the road in the playoffs all because of coaching. This conservative bullshit offense has to be killed with fire.

this is the worst playoff lose of Coach T's long long long tenure, if you will.

It's because he's been at this shit for twenty fucking years and the same shit happens every fucking time.

He should go too, but he’s just a figurehead.

Tomlin took over the team. Colbert lost a power struggle and was pushed out. Tomlin OK’d Khan because he’s a beancounter and Tomlin makes all the decisions.

Weidl should be promoted to GM and they should fire Khan, Tomlin and his entire moronic coaching staff.

If Art the Lessor doesn’t want to do that, someone needs to sneak into his bedroom tonight and introduce his head to a pillow until he stops moving.

Sorry Art. It has to end.

Awww come on. We got a Tomlin signature regular season the other team shits the bed victory last week and a Tomlin signature playoff loss today. At least he's consistent.

You have to be dumb as a hammer or with agenda to have a problem with Steelers fans who want an offensive guru HC.

The Tomlin cherry on top would be one of the WRs getting arrested for some felony within the week.

This would be ideal, but goes against Rooney's religion or something to hire an offensive minded head coach, but I'm for any head coach next year other than Mikey T, Art needs to grow a pair and tell Mike if he doesn't resign that he's fired, end of conversation.
