one thing ur missing...he had exceptional talent in almost every position on the field.... what u think he gonna do with this team... he hasn't won a SB in 15 years...hes good but squandered what he had...lol...

  Who were these players that were exceptional at every position? Cowher went 8-8 with “his” players the year he retired. Tomlin won his SB two years later. The offense had Rashard Mendenhall, Santonio Holmes, the remains of Hines Ward, and a bad OL. And has kept the team winning through all those years despite never drafting in the top half of any round without trades. The Panthers had a good 2008. Since then they have had THREE non-losing seasons. Tomlin has 14.

I think the culture in Pittsburgh was pretty toxic behind closed doors but winning masks all.

Who were his QB's?

 

Not sure if you notice but it doesn't matter how much talent you have, if you don't have a QB you aren't going to win a lot of games.

 

Big Ben was washed at the end of his career and they let him continue to play like trash for those last years of his career. Kenny Pickett is trash as well. Tomlin somehow still had a winning record with those QB's.

...when I have time...I'll Venn diagram it for ya...

Cower came of a superbowl 8-8.. what did panthers do after they came off a SB appearance...they maintained the players from the SB...um remember a dude named Polamaulu..... Tomlin is a good coach...but him coming here and and magically turning it around with this roster will take years... or for anybody.  Dick Vermeil was one of the few that did well on a flip. Rothlishitsberger carried that offence and made Tomlin look good... just like Cam did with Rivera...  Tomlin had better talent and competent coaches...thats the diff...

I don’t care what he might do here. But to pretend his success is all from Cowher, a QB who was maybe the 5th best QB on his best years in a conference with Brady and Manning, and a HOF S is comical. Big Ben threw for 3,300 yds with 17 TDs and 15 INT in the SB winning season. How is that carrying anything? And a far cry from “exceptional” talent at every position.

Tomlin getting fired would be very reminiscent of Andy Reid getting fired in Philly. A great HC that's time has run out with an organization. I can not imagine a better culture builder than Tomlin. If we can hire a good OC to pair with him it would be a home run hire.

Didn’t say what? You said he had exceptional talent at EVERY position. In a post directly above. Did you not? And if Cowher gifted him a SB, tell us how? I showed who they had, which sure wasn’t exceptional. Especially an OL that was considered the worst ever for a team that won the SB. I believe what I saw and the facts. You can try the Venn diagram if it helps.

Not calling Mike Tomlin a scrub my no means. But, I do wonder what his career would be like without that Pittsburgh Steelers front office he has had all these years. 

Yeah Tomlin is a good coach but that front office has been legendary at finding talent until the past few years.

  Do you actually believe Tomlin didn’t have a say in player evaluations for the draft picks?

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
