Anyone here seriously expect a different response?

From the 2010-2020 season, (A 10 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks.
What modern day coach do you know could go to the playoffs 8 out of the last 10 years , keep failing, and still be the coach????

You are seeing everything Tomlin can do. He is the new "Jason Garrett".
We have an owner that operates the team as if we are in the 1980’s and the league has changed over the last decade especially. Keeping a coach who had never won anything with his own players or coaches.
Tomlin is the African American version of Berry Switzer. The last decade Tomlin wasted our franchise QB and now our window is officially closed. But in reality , our window was closed when Cowher and his coaches left.

I think Tomlin should be fired. I want to emphasize that. I know that will get lost with what I say next.
He won the Super Bowl in 2008. He won it, not Cowher. It's like saying if I borrow my brother's fishing pole and catch a trout, it's his trout. It's a stupid damn statement.
Maybe he has wasted Ben's years. But so has Ben. Ben isn't some ******' lump of clay that has had no responsibility in all this. Maybe if he plays better in some big spots we aren't having this conversation.

I always think it is just that Tomlin can get the most out of the players physically. But when they start losing talent to injury things go south as he can't make the X and O adjustments.
Seems to check off all the boxes when looking back on the decade.
Ben could always play better, but let's not pretend that, amid the inconsistent rushing offense and overall defense, he hasn't carried Tomlin's *** for the past decade.
A QB can do only so much, as the Steelers defense has been destroyed in three consecutive playoff games.
Tomlin probably should have been fired after the 2017 playoff loss to the Jaguars, as it would have been interesting to see what they could have done with a different approach and set of schemes in Ben's last few years, but the opportunity has evaporated.
