If Tomlin was fired, here's who we could get. Give us your top 5 names,

1. Ayikho
2. Ninguna
3. Keiner
4. Nenhum
5. Pa Gen Yonn

Use Google Translate, Coach - my answer is above...
 
1 ) Bill Cowher, for three years, if he wants the job. Problems solved, Cowher was 5-1 with Ben in the playoffs. Tomlin 3-5 in his last eight playoff games with Ben. A short term move that could yield a Lombardi.

2 ) Josh McDaniels. The Patriot's offensive coordinator. When was the last time you saw New England beat themselves, or call a horse crap Todd Haley like play? He's a winner, and it would steal talent from our chief rival. At age 41, he has a chance to be a great one. I'd take him over Tomlin in a heartbeat.

3 ) Todd Walsh, Jacksonville's defense coordinator, was 2nd over all in giving up just 286.1 yards a game. You have to admire they way Jax plays defense, and his style fits what is needed today.

4 ) Joe Woods, Broncos. He did impressive work in Tampa in 2004-2005 as the DC. " In 2005, the Buccaneers boasted the NFL's top defensive unit (277.8 ypg)—including the league's sixth-ranked pass defense (183.1 ppg)—while finishing 11-5 and capturing the NFC South Division title. Barber set a team single-season record for most tackles (120) by a cornerback and led the club with five interceptions. " As Denver's DC, they were third overall. Woods is also a local PA guy and only 47 years old.

5 ) Pat Shurmur, the Vikings offensive coordinator, has done an excellent job with less than remarkable talent. He could handle the play calling.

1. Cowher is a New Yorker now. Wife is in music business.....completely satisfied where he is at.

2.McDaniels? He didn't make to his contract at his first head coaching job in Denver.....crawled back to cheatville where he wasn't beaten up by the press.

3. Todd Walsh...what's his history prior to this year?

4. Joe Woods.....OMG, "impressive work in 2004-2005".....that was 12 years ago....why don't we go back further? Hey we need a new OC, Chan Gailey anyone? Joe Walton maybe? Classic post Coach, classic.

5. Shurmur may be NY or Tennessee's HC, Shefter....mentioned DET too for Stafford.

When is you next post about the crappy players? Justin needs to get some sound effects going for your ego soothe.
 
You really like making points with zero proof. Okay " Ike " Rooney, whatever you say. Sure Art won't listen to any of the minority owners. Never, ever, not a word!

Keep thinking that.

Zero proof? You give us the proof genius. You know you can't. First...keep taking the click bait narrative storylines. It shows your intelligence on the matter. Nowhere has Florio mentioned which Limited Partner is saying this. Actually I think Florio knows click bait seekers like yourself crave these types of stories, while knowing himself (since he is an attorney and was agent)..that a Limited Partner...only contributes financially to the business. In return the LP receives a portion of the partnership’s profits. Limited Partners do not have any obligations on behalf of the partnership or participate in daily operations or management of the partnership itself. Go pick up a Economics 101 book and read for once. LPs can invest whatever they want in the partnership, but has no, none, nada voice in business decisions.

One more thing....Did i say Art 2 won't listen? No nimrod. I said he will listen. He has that obligation, but those LP don't. Read genius.....its what's makes the world go round.

Could be any of 31other NFL Head Coaches who wouldn't have attempted an OSK with 2:30+ on the clock, two time outs & 2 min. warning and a future HOF QB on the sidelines who just burned the League #1 Passing Defense for nearly 500 yards, 5 TD's (two on 4th Down outside the Red Zone)!
FAK U Tomlin
 
We don't know what Art thinks, but I'm sure he will listen to these men. Collectively they have a good amount of power.

Fans who want to win a lwoB repuS should want Tomlin out.

I just want them to win,not keep the status quo just for the hell of it. Epic failure 2 years in a row. It's absolutely sickening. In the mean time a bunch of asshats in Boston are just chalking them up left and right with much lesser talent. **** they win with nobodies. A TE, qb and a couple quick white guys. That's the sum of them.

Get some ******* brains in this operation. The battle plan just looks like hell. Like a 9 year old drew it up in crayon. Epic ******* failure. Looking like hammered *** against the shittiest teams too.
 
Please, please for the love of god stop it, he is not being being fired, get over it. We don't need three hundred threads about a ******* topic that is NOT even a possibility.

Then why do you feel the need to ***** about it a hundred times in each of the three hundred threads? DON'T READ THEM, or at least DON'T RESPOND if you're so upset about it. Bottom line is, this is the same **** every single year with this dumbass, and if some of us fans want to ***** about it, we will. Get over it.
 
:jagoff: Yeah, cause fans that support coach Tomlin don't want to win a lwoB repuS.

Seems some fans would rather support Tomlin than the team as a whole.

And here's the thing, many of you Tomlin supporters keep whining "Well who would you replace him with?" So Coach gave you five names. Are you debating the merits of the five? NOPE! Just whining that people dare to question Cool Shades.
 
Just heard on Sirius a report that the ownership partners were going to ask for Tomlin to be removed.

Yeah but you know as well as I Tomlin isn't going anywhere.

So let's start some other mental masturbation threads for Coach:

- If the Rooney's sold the team, name five prospective investors you would like to see as new owners
- If Heinz Field was demolished, list five stadium designs you would rather see built to replace it
- If the Steelers got rid of their black & gold color scheme, list five color combinations you would rather have
- If the league decided to use a different type of game ball, list five shapes and sizes of balls you would use instead of a football
- If football wasn't played on grass/artifical turf, list five types of surfaces you'd like to see as an alternative (water is an acceptable choice)
- If players weren't allowed to use their hands, name five other appendages you'd like to see them use

While I agree with you that it's likely not going to happen, you cannot deny the fact that minority owners are calling for his job is a big deal. And just because it's likely not going to happen doesn't prove that it shouldn't. And this is a message board, people are going to complain, it's what it's for. And I'll go back to my point, for all of Coach's annoying posts, he did exactly what many Tomlin supporters asked for, and that's give five legitimate names. It's what you guys asked for, then you ***** when you get it.

I didn't ***** about the thread or about throwing names around. I bitched about Coach's comment that fans that want to see the Steelers win a lwoB repuS want Tomlin gone, meaning fans that support Tomlin don't want the Steelers to win a SB? That's just an ignorant statement to make.

can you HONESTLY sit there and tell everyone that Tomlin has not grossly under-achieved the last 5 years. If the answer to that is anything other than YES than you are more concerned with Tomlin than the Steelers winning a SB.

Fair enough, I should've qualified my statement better. I was referring to people bitching about the topic in general (Tomlin should be fired) being discussed. I apologize for lumping you in. And I agree, I don't think Tomlin supporters don't want the Steelers to win a Super Bowl, that's an unfair statement. In my opinion though, there are some fans who are putting one man (Tomlin) above the good of the team, though they don't realize it. They are blinded by loyalty to him, and refuse to see his glaring faults.

I see what you did with the Cowher to Tomlin comparison --you cherry picked the data you wanted to support your objective. Tomlin had a similar record when he was handed the reigns 3 Wins and 1 Loss in his first two seasons while Chin had 5 Win and 1 loss. You wanted that last sample of Tomlins years to match against Cowhers twighlight. Tomlins data you selected included no Super Bowl years or conf championships while Cowhers sampling did include them.

Cowher aint coming back. IT. AINT. HAPPENING. So stop hoping for it.

Josh McDaniels has the Brady running that offense. Case closed. Look at his body of work in Denver. His record as HC -- 11-17 ...**** no. **** you for suggesting that BS. He wont last to see his final contract year in Indy. Watch and see.....

Folks here wanted Greg Schiano a few years back....where the **** is he now ? At Ohio St running a collegiate defense---far cry from running a team. His HC NFL record -- 11-21.


On all those others, no thanks. NOPE !!! And GTFOH wit that BS. There are currently no better HC options out there. Retreads are a mistake as Oakland will soon find out with Gruden.
 
There are currently no better HC options out there.

Sorry, but that is just plain asinine. There are plenty of coaches, coordinators, and/or position coaches that could do equal to what Tomlin has done with the talent he has available. Tomlin has done less with more talent than probably any NFL coach.
 
You're forgetting that, by all accounts, Tomlin is very well-liked by the players.

That counts for a lot.

But he is on double-not-so-secret probation.
 
It's ridiculous to say there are no options. What was Tomlin's resume before he came here? He had been a DB coach for Tampa and ONE YEAR as defensive coordinator for a Vikings defense that wasn't all that good.

I'm not saying it wasn't a good hire at the time. But he has clearly more than wore out his welcome, and it's time to move on. Just like it was time to move on when we did from both Noll and Cowher.

Yeah, he's underachieved, the team has underachieved. But I see the issues multi-faceted, not a root derivative of the fact Mike Tomlin is the head coach. Not sure what other head coach would have gotten us over the hump, with these same coordinators and coaches in place. I think Bell's injury last year in AFCC had more to do with that loss to Pats than the fact Tomlin was the head coach. Who knows how we play the Jags with Shazier out there? Just saying. I agree he needs to do a better job taking charge and exercising more control and discipline over players and coaches. So yes, I'd like to see him be a better leader. But I can't accept the fact he's the root of all our problems and the reason we haven't won a SB since the last one, which we won of course with Mike Tomlin coaching the team.

10 Years since the last one despite being favored or more talented almost every year. Obviously keeping Tomlin is more important that winning a SB or finding a coach that can. :frusty: :jagoff:

**** it, lets do it....it either lands us in the elite and our 7th title, or we don't, and we end up in a similar position as we are now....OR, that change lands us amongst the Redskins, Giants, Colts or another has-been franchise searching for respectability for several more years. Look at Coughlin being canned by the Giants....WTF are they now ? Change is what they wanted.....they got change. Ever seen the face of a NY Giants fan the last few months ?

**** it...lets go !!! Take that gamble....can the coach !!! Fresh blood....

My suggestion: if...IF youre gonna make a coaching change, do it after Ben retires.

Cowher and Noll both retired......they walked away. We didn't fire them. Both left with their final season having no post season qualification with it.

First off, our offense has MORE talent than New England's. Hooide hired McDaniels. Tomlin hired Todd Haley. How long does it take you to choose between the two?

Secondarily, a good OC is not calling a 4th, and one wide run vs. a fast defense, nor is a good head coach going to give them field position on a very early onside kick. The coaching is a disgrace.

Lastly. Cowher beat Hoodie in the playoffs. You don't know what Cowher would do if Mr. Rooney were on the line asking him to lead the team back to the super bowl. A 13-3 team with cap space and Ben for three more years?!. Perhaps too much to refuse. Not to mention it would take Gruden like money ( 10 million a season ) . In my life experiences, what people say can quickly be contradicted once enough money is involved.
 
You're forgetting that, by all accounts, Tomlin is very well-liked by the players.

Liking someone and being a good coach are very different. I would have liked my mom a lot more when I was 8 years old if she let me have chocolate milk 3 times a day and stay out past the street lights coming on. But in the end I appreciate her a lot more for what she did do.

That counts for a lot.

No it really doesn't. Players have to RESPECT their HC not like their HC.
