OK, you don't appreciate my humor. Fair enough. I will be black and white, dry, with simple facts going forward with you.Its amazing how often and how quickly you guys try to go below the belt just because someone doesnt agree with your take on someone. You got time to do that then you got time to go back and forth by yourself. Im on the side of being fair and objective regardless of what i think of a person and refuse to allow any personal bias to impact my thinking.
Personally i think its about time the Steelers move on from him, but with fans like you i have no problem sitting here and laughing in your face while Tomlin keeps collecting a paycheck. I was trying not to go the route you dod in this last post and I won't be because its not worth it. Now you can go argue with your momma.
I fully comprehend I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and that I can come off abrasive. Duly noted for you.
I am confused by your comment, though.
Do you feel I went below the belt on you personally, or on Tomlin himself, or both?
For this old timey Boomer, you're newer here.
For the Cliff notes version of my Tomlin feelings - I was an early supporter of his. I actually defended him earlier in his career when people were calling for his head. i choked down his word salad, every last sentence.
But then I kept loving my team, supporting my team, and listening and hanging on his every word and eventually noticed it didn't match the product on the field.
I am the farthest thing from a knee jerk reaction guy. I am almost too methodical and robotic in my decision making, and I have my career as an analyst in contracting to thank for that.
But we now have a clear pattern.
We have all seen enough to know that while his charisma, of which he has an over abundance of, is undeniable and mesmerizing, his football acumen and leadership qualities are fraudulent.
He is Barry Switzer.
But he was fortunate enough to get his gig in Pittsburgh instead of Dallas.
He won't be fired. I am FULLY aware of this.
One day, he will either want to go to the booth, spend more time with his family, or the Rooney's tell him that it's time to move on with his life's work and they simply won't renew his contract, and allow him give whatever reason why at the presser.
