Mann has done an outstanding job. Wish we could've sent him off with a championship in his final year. Enjoy retirement!
 
With the lack of success at OLber, and in the secondary I would rather the WR coach be one with many years of coaching experience.

Position coaches can only do so much when the scheme you are running does not fit your personnel or play to another teams weakness. Giving Blake Bortles 7 seconds to throw the ball on every drop back is a scheme issue not an execution issue. Thinking you can beat teams by putting more DB's on the field in coverage is a scheme issue. Trying to play zone defense against NE repeatedly and always getting burned is a scheme issue. Until you fix your scheme how can you honestly evaluate a player or coaches performance within that scheme.

They had plenty of chances to develop talent, and arguably was below the line. No coincidence that the experienced positions excelled.
 
Perfect. All these problems and now one of the good ones leaves. What the **** is going on over there

This isn't a surprise as he gave his notice last year. He is 70years old what more can you want from him..........He has well exceeded his job and now he wonders off into the sunset. Congratulations Mr. Mann and enjoy you days.......

As bad as you wold like to turn this into another Tomlin sucks thread.....he ******* old and told them he was ready to retire a good while ago.
 
Thanks for you contribution! Steeler WRs have clearly outperformed expectations

Mann has done an outstanding job.

...and now one of the good ones leaves.

He has well exceeded his job.

And as we thank Coach Mann for his outstanding contributions, let's not forget to tip our hat to the man that hired him. One of the few coaches Tomlin actually hired from outside the organization. He and Tomlin go back to their Tampa Bay days.

Hopefully we can get Hines Ward to take over the receivers. I think he’d be great. Maybe we can get a coaching jacket with a big 86 on it.
