favorite qoute from mike tomlin:

"We can't stay status quo in terms of how we're approaching this and expect the pattern of behavior or outcome to change," Tomlin said. "That's unrealistic. That's hoping. This is not a hope business."

because, believe it or not "it is what it is" pleases a lot of people in Carolina, much more than in Pittsburgh.

Tomlin certainly has a way with words -- his are not empty cliches, like those many other coaches spout off. I like that he's not afraid to be very direct with the media and say how he feels, all with an inspiring undertone that I would think his players appreciate.

you're right, ripping off the president's theme he used to get into office is really unique and original.

I doubt Obama was the first to make such a statement. There are countless ways of saying the same thing, and nothing in this world is truly original. Tomlin's words might sound similar because he wants to emphasize a similar point -- that a change is needed.

Last week he also said "Were going to unleash hell in decmeber" only to lose to the raiders at home.

So what?

I'd love a coach with that sort of enthusiasm and confidence. Given his short time coaching in this league, he's got every right to think he can unleash hell in December.

I'm far from an NFL player, but I think players would respond much better to their coach expecting them to "unleash hell" than a coach that seems content with mediocrity.

Lol, the Raiders. Lol

[Zod]

The raiders have some HOT fans! Some named after spiders.

[Dpantherman]

Lol, the Raiders. Lol

what's so funny? we only have ONE more win than they do. and they beat the Eagles and Steelers. we've only beaten 1 quality opponent (cardinals).

[monstercat]

Then again, Fox hasn't lost 4 games in a row either.

BTW, Tomlin also stated that he was about to unleash hell in December...that was right before he lost to the Raiders. Words are meaningless without actions backing them up.

First off you assume that how Fox talks to the press is how he talks to his players. Which is doubtful. Tons of coaches drone on and sound lame to the press, doesnt mean there that way in the locker room.

The point Im making is that all that bluster got him no where in that game did it? They've lost four straight (one win above us) despite all the enthuasim.

Yelling, saying cofident things to the press, doesnt win anymore games then talking calm and firm and vice versa.
