Per Mark Madden, no link.

Maybe there's something to the story, but do we know when the meeting was scheduled? It was reported Tomlin hadn't met with Roethlisberger yet because he was spending time interviewing coaching candidates. TJ went on vacation last week, so is it possible he didn't meet because he wasn't available?

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Ummm....ok. Sure.

You saying folks wouldn't have been all over AB or LB if a report like this had come out about them 3 - 4 years ago? "OK, sure" is right.

 

[slashsteel]

Per Madden he skipped his exit interview and said to send his **** to Wisconsin.

AB and Bell had a track record sure the fans would be all over it. Watt doesn't.

It is the nature of the beast if you are a model citizen people won't point fingers in your direction.

First unprofessional action I've heard of about TJ. But, it IS unprofessional if true.

Edit: And let me add that I'm inclined to believe it's not entirely true.

No. I am not saying that. Maybe you should take some of each of these players back story and then rethink your post.

Sort of depends if that **** show in Cleveland was the result of one coach changing things up and doing his own thing.

TJ like his brother is all about winning.

If he blew off steam as a result I don't think it is that big of an issue even if true.

Just guessing though...

No, I don't think that's necessary. An unprofessional action is an unprofessional action. No matter who is doing it.

Saying a few words isn't having a sideline tantrum or throwing furniture over a balcony.

It is a defensive stud being pissed that they are one and done in the playoffs.

I see it a a minor situation regardless.

OH, I don't see it as anything major myself. But, I do see it as something to keep an eye on.
Also, I'm not trusting the messenger. So, that makes it even less of a "thing". Madden may find a nut every once in awhile, but for the most part, he drops crumbs for click bait.

I was going over the scenarios if true.

1 He was pissed on how they all played in the Cleveland game.
2 He was pissed on how they used him in the Cleveland game.
3 He was pissed that someone else called the defense and felt it didn't give them a good chance to win
4 he was pissed the same person called the defense and felt the game plan didn't give them a good chance to win.

Or maybe a little of 3 mentioned.

Soooooo, you're saying there's a chance he was pissed?

 

[stillwright]

OK then. Watt has had zero issues up until this point. AB and Bell....well one could write a book. Say what you truly are thinking or leave it alone.

 

[slashsteel]

Sure we all watched Cleveland game weren't you pissed too?

That game was beyond embarrassing.

Tomlin is an embarrassment. Our owners keeping him is an embarrassment.

Would love to hear who Mark’s sources are. They certainly can’t be myself, Coach T, Kevin Colbert or Coach Butler. All of whom I met with during exit interviews, prior to packing my own things after a hard fought season trying to give everything I have for the city of Pittsburgh.

They are happy that there is enough winning that the money keeps flowing in.

From a business perspective I see their approach.

I think they(Rooney) are are happy with that somewhat. Of course the majority of us want more.

 

[Coach]

Perhaps he's pissed that Butler still has a job...

Or Tomlin.

And as a fan's approach? A major disappointment.

Mark has been spot on in his writings of late. While he likes the clicks...he has been spot on in his words.

 

[slashsteel]

Well yeah a major major disappointment.

I might even say it again not sure if that even captures it.

 

[slashsteel]

He might want to cross that source off his list as ultimately Mark put his name on it so he will have to eat the crow.

well since he likes to post ****...it is easy to do that now with a pissed off fanbase....

but it would seem this story was total bullshit

Just might be.....Might be some truth....If it was AB or LB instead TW would you be saying that?...maybe not or others may think.
