Doesn't that define a good coach by an important measure? I would kill to have a manager for the Pirates that could coach bad teams to more wins than losses. Considering the lack of money they will spend it is the only way they will have a shot.
Tomlin may not be the coach many want for this team, but I don't think anyone can argue he isn't a great coach at knowing how to win more than he loses overall.
Many can and do argue that he isn’t great.
I perceive he has done less with more than several
Other coaches would’ve done in his situation.
Is he above average? Sure
Great? Highly unlikely imho
Great coaches don’t have franchise QBs and loaded rosters and barely squeak out 1 SB in two decades and go a decade without a singular playoff win.
Is he a good regular season coach? Sure
Maybe even approaching great regular season HC depending on how you assess the talent he has had.
Is he mediocre in the playoffs? No
He’d have to win some games to reach mediocre status.
Currently he is below average trending towards suck/abject failure.
Just ask yourself this question…
What would Marvin have done?
Seriously you put Marvin Lewis in Mike’s situation I think there would be at least equal or possibly better results. Likely very similar tbh
Is Marvin Lewis great?
We’ll never know cuz he spent his career in a dumpster fire where Mike enjoyed the confines of the most stable seat in the NFL.
