"But I like to blow at least one timeout per half, and call a @#$%ing timeout when the clock is already stopped."

Tomlin's comment about "saving timeouts for the offense" is Exhibits "A" through "Z" as to why he needs to go. Frankly, this is becoming too easy regarding Tomlin's idiocy and ineptitude as an NFL head coach:

  • If saving timeouts is important, how about working on NOT ******* BLOWING TIMEOUTS BECAUSE THE WRONG PERSONNEL ARE ON THE FIELD, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME?!?!?!?
  • Hey, Mike, did you know that the only way the defense can stop the clock is by calling a timeout? No, that's news to you, right?
  • And hey, Mike, did you know the offense can stop the clock two different ways without the benefit of a timeout - go out of bounds or throw an incompletion?? Nope, news to you yet again, I wager.

Any NFL coach who risks falling behind by 3 and with the clock under 2 minutes, and who has 2 timeouts, and who does not use those timeouts to STOP THE CLOCK is not competent enough to keep his job.

Seriously, it is the equivalent of running over a pedestrian during a driving test. Sorry, no license for you - unless ARII is giving the test, I guess.
 
Maybe not wasting timeouts on replay reviews a 4 year old can see are unwinnable would save a time-out or 2 most games is a start too....

6 years ago after he ****** up vs Tenn people said he will learn, as if he was working at a car wash, he still hasnt

tomlin doesnt have the brains to be a HC in the NFL

Every yr he cost us at least one game with his dumb decisions
 
Think how good this team could be with a competent coach at the helm. All that offensive talent wasted because dimwit can't figure out when and when not to call a TO. If he isn't on drugs then he is the most ignorant coach I've ever seen. Seriously what the **** is he doing? You let the clock run out while you still have TOs? Then you waste one when the CLOCK IS STOPPED!! Please Mike, just walk away.

Given some of the stupidity Tomlin has exhibited, I would not be shocked to learn Tomlin was unaware that an unsuccessful challenge means the loss of a timeout.
 
I have said for years Tomlin is a stupid man with very little brains and a ton of bad transparent bullshit. Being with a great team and having a HOF QB masked his many many many inadequecies and the Steelers knew this when they hired him. What head coach takes a job and has the GM and front office tell him who his OC and DC coordinators will be and continue to do this for the first 8 or so years into his tenure? They knew he was a lightweight but wanted him to succeed even though he was not qualified for the job. He is what he is a figurehead who is not smart enough to lead or win on his own merit but a bullshitter who talks tough but has no idea what to do when he fails and goes back to work in his "lab."

This is a top secret picture of his lab and coincidently the only job he is qualified to hold.

But, but, but Mikey T. Is a graduate of the College of William & Mary. I think his major is in Bullshit.

Tomlins game day duties by his own words are pretty simple. Make the call when to challenge, when to punt, when to go for it on 4th, run a trick play, and when to call a ******* time out!
I could do those duties to near perfection for a shitload less money!
 
I blame Ben for not getting up in Tomlins grill and telling him he needed those 38 seconds.
