By Brandon WallaceSteelerNation.com When Steeler legends of old begin to air their grievances, you know it’s getting bad in Pittsburgh. Monday,*Pittsburgh Steelers‘ great,*Rocky Bleier took to Facebook to address the current state of the team. Bleier, who played in 1968, and then again from 1979-1980 (all with Pittsburgh) was a 4x Super Bowl Champion and […]

I agree with him 100%. The truth hurts sometimes,but it's still the truth.
 
Rocky is right. When a Steeler legend says it, his words carry weight.
 
Comments from past Steelers such as these should resonate loud and clear with Art II. Need more of this because I think he will begin to listen.

I wish more would speak up like this. We live in a ***** generation. We need men to stand up and say what's going on so we can correct the issues that got us here in the first place.
 
He's dead on. Sad but true.
 
I just saw this and could only get out a "WOW" at the last sentence. Calling out the Bos was easy, calling out Butler could be considered bold, but calling out Tomlin to the Rooneys has to be sacrosanct in it's truest form.

Lets see if it resonates in the hallowed halls of Pittsburgia......fingers crossed.
 
These two on 93.7 The Fan Cook and Joe think it has to do more with Rocky trying to push his new book. Some of these media types refuse to call Tomlin out and keep going back to his never having a losing season. You mean Ben has never had a losing season, right Cook and Joe?
 
I can appreciate his sentiment. That said, whoever wrote the article, I truly admire your optimism, thinking that it is likely the Steelers win out.
 
Bleier is right. I agree with him. There's too much defending people and excuses by the Steelers for the past 3 weeks.
 
Rocku=y and Bradshaw are saying what many people know, that Tomlin is a phony con man and a hack. Funny how Bradshaw was lambasted for saying Tomlin was just a cheerleader and he could not find a single thing that Tomlin actually does.

Not sure where they got three years.

Bleier played 10 games in 1968, had a tour in Vietnam, then played 6 in 1971, and at least 11 games every year after that through 1980 -- for a total of 140 games with the Steelers.
 
I'm NOT sure of who to replace him with but I am SURE he needs to be replaced and Rocky is sayiN what most is thinkiN.




Salute the nation
 
As I said in the other thread, if we lose out, that is the only way Tomlin MIGHT be on the way out. Even if we lose out and miss the playoffs, I would not be surprised in the least if he and Colbert are here next year.

Ron Cook wrote that even if the Steelers lose out, Tomlin won’t be fired stressing that you don’t fire a coach after one bad season. ONE? I’d argue any disappointing, underachieving season is a bad season and that Tomlin has had several consecutive seasons of those and they are probably the norm over his career.

Any company that evaluates their performance based on past results is a company that is destined to fail. Good companies are always looking forward and evaluating their personnel and product as it relates to the future. The concept that we have to fail repeatedly before we make a change is foreign to me. If you evaluate the personnel, scheme, performance...etc and still think that Tomlin is the person to lead this team over the next 5 years, then so be it. What Tomlin did 5 years ago should have NO bearing at all on whether he should be the HC moving forward.

Maybe it should -- 5 years ago, Tomlin was on his way to a second consecutive 8-8 season with no playoffs.
 
There is not a chance in hell that anybody from Noll's team is not disgusted by these Steelers.

Absolutely agree. Companies make leadership decisions based on where they want to go, not how they've done in the past. If the vision for the future does not match the past performance, goodbye.
