Per Gerry Dulac,

the delay in hiring an OC is because Tomlin wants to hire an Oline coach first, to make sure the Oline coach meshes with the OC. Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Um...yes. That statement makes no sense and I'm sure MT knows it.

Wonder if they have cold feet about Canada now...all of a sudden.
 
Who in their right ******* mind hires an employee before you hire a manager for that position. ******* clueless.

Maybe Canada has not accepted the offer? Wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to coach under Tomlin.
 
maybe they're doing their full diligence instead of knee jerking into a long term decision for OC. Something you guys were crying about just a few days ago...

Perhaps, but it still feels backwards... i mean its better than promoting arians and having zierlien not be able to implement his blocking schemes, but wouldn’t you want the OC to have a say in the OL and not vice versa...

I seriously wonder if Tomlin isnt ok with a coach that will call him out if need be on the staff.. Randy was a yes man...

I really hope that is the case. Don't run up to the podium so quickly with our next pick.

Tomlin wants to hire who he wants, he doesn't want the OC to have a say in who the OL coach is. Yes, absolutely you'd want your OC to have a say in the OL, maybe the OC wants to pull using his OG's and not his center, maybe he wants his C to be mobile, maybe he just wants road graders. It sounds to me like were sticking with Tomlin's offense.
 
Tomlin must be saving boatloads of money. 'Cause he's living rent free, 24/7 in some of these guys' heads. "Tomlin, Tomlin, Tomlin" .... lol

no, Tomlin is the one that said he wants to hire an OL coach first.

He kind of makes it easy with his performance and clichés.
 
Makes no sense at all. The OC should be included with the hiring of an OL coach. Bizarro land.
 
Doesn't matter ... Tomlin will obviously be back next year. So, all the complaining, moaning, blah, blah, blah ... Is accomplishing what exactly?
I think they should bite the bullet and push Ben on into retirement. Isn't going to happen. Very few of the folks who think this way are on here constantly griping about Ben's second half of the season, playoff game performance and outsized cap hit. Serves no purpose because he will be back,
But, a few folks on here ... Man .... "Tomlin, Tomlin, Tomlin". It's going to be a looooong off season. lmao

Because he's the only guy that has control of what's going on, on both sides of the ball, and both sides of the ball got worse.

Ben got worse too. Defense ... well, it did suffer major injury losses. Look, I'm OK with them replacing Tomlin. Might be time for a fresh outlook/new message, etc. But, I don't see the point in spending all off season bitching about something that isn't going to change this year. Tomlin can go. Colbert can go. Ben can go. But, I know it isn't happening in 2021, so I'm not going to develop an ulcer over the lack of change that I didn't expect and don't see.

@gerrydulac
Delay in naming Matt Canada (or someone) as offensive coordinator is because Mike Tomlin wants to hire an offensive line coach first, per sources. Wants to make sure what O-Line coach wants to do meshes with his OC's philosophy.

I dunno sounds pretty legit IMO
 
Dulac doesn't put his name on **** that's no correct.

OH, I believe the "sources" did tell him that. But, the premise that you put out is that Tomlin said it. Heck, his "source" could be Canada, who's tired of sitting in a holding pattern. 'Could be anyone really because he didn't say "team sources". It's really a big fat nothing burger though. If Canada is their guy, with his motion based offense, they'd want to make sure they have an OL Coach lined up that can mesh with him. If they can't find one, why hire Canada?

Canada will not be a long term OC. He’s never stayed with the same job for more than 3 years, he’ll be one and done more than likely. If this is the case than just say we’re interviewing candidates.. and it still doesn’t make sense to hire the OL coach first.

So basically if they can't find the right OL coach, they're going to let the guy they want as OC go?
