Does anyone remember when Noll was hired? Anyone know who he was before the Steelers hired him?

yes i hope to be around when they finally make a move

wow.
finally. a few articles in the PPG that start to point to Tomlin as the reasons this team has performed like they have.





And......

I hope the questions in the Tuesday presser bring up the root of most of the problems and where they start.
And that is off the field. How this team prepares, practices, teaches, game planning, scheming, preparing play calls for game day, preparing for in game situation and scenarios, personnel decisions, team unity, team chemistry, social media, handling the press and media, game day preparation, focus, energy before kick-off.

I've said many times before.
This team loses more games long before kick-off, than any team in football.
Starts and stops with the head coach.

The thing is, a lot of times coaching seems to be a push. That's maybe not surprising given most HC's are average, and most operate from the same risk-averse "conventional wisdom" mindset.

But how often does Tomlin out-coach the other side? A lot less than he gets outcoached. He adds zero value on game day. He's capable of being a good Mon-Sat coach, but we see he really only does that a handful of times a year for big/key games. He COULD focus and prepare this team every week if he wanted to...but he's lazy.

What makes you think his problem is being lazy? He puts in the hours. He does his job. Your delusional if you think he's lazy. And how dare you for giving him that sort of pass. He is doing what he feels is right to the best of his ability.

He just isn't an effective coach. He isn't a disciplinarian and he exercises no control over the team. He allows the inmates to run the asylum. Lazy? Not a chance.

I'm so happy to see y'all catching on that Tomlin is a 90 IQ fraud.

Watching Tomlin step on his dick is why I'm watching this season.

Big waste of time bitching about firing Tomlin Rooney won't do it.
Tomlin will pull out at least 8-8 record and Roooney won't fire his Dad's hand picked Rooney rule coach.
We all know Tomlin will never win another SB and will leave on HIS terms.
Sucks but Rooney rule will rule!!!

You all aren't giving the Rooneys enough credit. Just because someone hasn't done something much at all, doesn't mean they can't or wont do it.

You haven't seen this organization fire many coaches because it didn't have to, not because it was resistant to it.

There are many scenarios this season that end up with us replacing Tomlin against his wishes. 0-1-1 isn't one of them. 0-4-1 isn't one either. 0-8-1 and total loss of control of the team IS.

The funny thing about all of this is that Rooney is supposedly all about image:

- The Ben thing
- The Santonio thing
-The "we need to run the ball bc we're the Steelers thing"

Wonder if Rooney was behind the Harrison and Blount releases? We'll never know for sure.

So why is he so limp about how Tomlin runs this fucking team? Compromising pictures? Is Rooney letting Tomlin fuck his wife? Maybe the Haley cuckholding deal was why he was hired in the first place???

It's about time Tomlin got some heat from the media.

Hot mess this team is right now.

I am waiting for a certain dick weed to accuse all of you for being racists for wanting Fraudlin fired...

I know a lot of you guys don't like him but I think he's one of the few people actually calling Tomlin out like he should be called out:

Almost reminds me of the dysfunctional leadership/accountability issues on some of the teams in Friday Night Tykes.

Cowherd is a tool but I can’t disagree with anything he said. Sad.

What many of us who watch this team consistently have been saying for years. It wouldn't be any more obvious if it walked up and smacked you in the face. Somehow there are still Tomlin supporters out there.

Of course he makes valid points and to deny this is nonsense... except he's leaving out the offensive side of the football. And he's leaving out the loss of Shazier.

I'll give credit to Tomlin for being part of the brain trust that drafted the offensive players and built this offense except for Ben. And good on Tomlin for his Villanueva find (that was big)

Beyond that... Tomlin does nothing to help this offense,... his conservative philosophy hinders it.

Woodson went down in '95 and yet that team made it to the SB.

I'll add this...

We had a decade of historically great defense that started pre Tomlin. That machine was already in place and it was masterminded by Lebeau.

The offense under Tomlin has never been one of the very best in the league.

Who has called Tomlin out?

Outside of making up some kind of offensive star revolt against Tomlin he's exactly right.

So the last four seasons when the offense was Top 10 in points scored never happened?

Steelers were at the very top of the league in defense (at times) for a decade along with the Ravens

This offense has never been one of the top 2 offenses in the league under Tomlin. We dominated the league on defense under the mastermind Lebeau. This offense although very good has never dominated the league like say the Falcons the year they made it to the SB.

If we had the best offense or one of the top 2 offenses in the league under Tomlin, that might have been enough to get us to another SB even if the defense was lacking.

The offense certainly has never been consistent enough to carry the team in the playoffs or against good teams like the defense was for so long. The one constant is a top 5 qb. You should always be at least decent with a top 5 qb in this league.

I think STD is still banned and hasn't come up with a new moniker yet.

Are you a dog person?

You're excited about top 10 in the league when, for the last several years we have trotted out a CERTAIN first ballot Hall of Famer at QB, a WR some are calling the BEST EVER and who is clearly also on his way to the Hall of Fame and a RB who is known as the best in the entire league (not only as an amazing RB, also as a very dangerous receiver).

You're gonna be excited about a few top 10 finishes with that group?

I wonder how many times a team has finished among the tops in the league offensively and then failed to score a single TD in a postseason game.

I’d bet not many.
