My Steelers Truths (Admittedly with some hindsight)

[gk1951]

Here is what I say

Trade TJ to the highest bidder. Maybe a 2nd at this point?
Would someone give up multiple picks for Tomlin? Someone would. Not sure who.
We have to have a losing season at some point. Finishing middle of the road gets you middle of the road results

I want to see this actually play out.
National Media will have you believe that if Mike Tomlin was available, that 31 teams would line up with Brinks trucks.
I don't believe this. Not in the least.
I think it would be the BIGGEST reality check in the world and that MAYBE 1 or 2 teams would show interest.......MAYBE.
But, let me buy into this narrative for a hypothetical.
Let's say Tomlin takes another HC gig somewhere besides Pittsburgh.
He will not last 5 years. BANK ON THAT.
He will instantly be shown to be the fraud that he is, and he will not have the built in unwavering support of Art II.
Maybe that makes him actually care and start deferring to his coordinators, but I sincerely doubt it.

WE know that if Tomlin goes elsewhere that all of the other coaches would need to be fired! Tomlin likes his coordinators dumb and lazy so that he is the smartest guy in the room.
