Drama in Steeler country?

[JARROD]

So are we hoping Mike Tomlin replaces our special teams coach or something?  Can he be a DC?

Not being a smart ass but how does this affect the Panthers? Are we getting a player or coach from them. 

Because we have a coach who continues to screw up clock management and whose decision making at crucial times in games is very questionable but he gets a 2 year extension

Ok I 100 percent agree. I was just trying to connect the dots.

I would be surprised if Tomlin is let go.  You don't do that unless there's a better option available and I just do not see an upgrade out there over him.

I don't think anything happens this year. 

But the fact that people are talking about it now does mean that if the problems continue in the future, the talk could get louder.

This is one of those stories I'd make a mental note of and file it away for later.

That and it is our off-season, so NFL news is allowed in the main forum until next season.

When you look at how talented that offense is, I'm shocked every time they lose out in the playoffs. 

I completely agree that the roster is full of undisciplined me first guys that care more about stats and money than winning. The Steelers are constantly in the news for the wrong reasons. I think ownership has a point. That roster should have won more in the playoffs.

Tomlin is a great head coach but I don't fault them for being upset given the talent that team has, especially on offense. No excuse for them to not be playing next week, especially given that they lost to the Bortman.

They lost to the best defense in the NFL. People better start taking the Jaguars serious. When they beat the Pats Sunday maybe that will get the NFL attention.

That defense is very young, they will be around contending for 3-5 years if they stay healthy.

A defense they dismissed ahead of time

Also kinda odd given Tomlin's rep as a no-nonsense ass kicker.

(of course, at one time that was Rivera's rep, too)

steelers do need to fire their OC that guy an idiot on 4th and 1 and you have a qb like big ben why would you not just qb sneak it for the easy 1st down.

OC is a free agent. They don't have to fire him.

The Jaguars defense is not why they lost. They scored 42 points on them. It’s the Steelers defense that was the embarrassment.

Tomlin is a solidly mediocre HC blessed with a franchise QB and the best RB and WR in the game. not sure there is a better HC out there right now but i cant blame them for wanting him gone. its what a successful franchise demands.

that was a dumb decision but they did also put up 42 on the the best D in the NFL.
