dpberr Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I wouldn't have done that. I think he and the Steelers would both benefit from some new scenery and ideas, but hey, advantage Bills. Yes, he's 173-100 (.633 clip) but has been overseeing some mediocre seasons lately in the post Big Ben malaise. That team hasn't recovered from the wheels falling off after that 11-0 start in 2020. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2024/06/10/mike-tomlin-signed-contract-extension-coach-art-rooney-ii/stories/202406100069 6 2 1 Quote

mushypeaches Posted June 10 Posted June 10 It’s like most other situations. Give this guy a top 10 QB and he’s a genius. If not, then he’s trash. Even a guy that’s been there for 17 years and never had a losing season 1 Quote
I'm Spartacus Posted June 10 Posted June 10 The Steelers aren't going anywhere with him. He's one of those "defensive minded" coaches. 🙂 1 2 Quote

Even a guy that’s been there for 17 years and never had a losing season no; he’s not “trash”. See the post above you. He and the team got to the playoffs with Mason freaking Rudolph last season (and kept it close against us in the WCG until late in the 3rd quarter) 1 Quote

Steelers rosters the last 5 years have been very similar to a lot of the Bills rosters during the drought years. Big difference is Tomlin has them in the playoffs, and we missed for 17 years straight. Quote

Does Tomlin not want to take a big swing on a QB because it will cost him job security? Questions, questions. 1 Quote

buffblue Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Are we all to believe that after 17 years in Pittsburgh Tomlin has no say so over personnel? He should at least have some culpability for their quarterback woes 1 2 1 Quote
hondo in seattle Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Coaches shouldn't lose their jobs when the team is losing. They should lose their job when the team is underperforming vis-a-vis the strength of the roster. 1 Quote

I would have made the change already but unfortunately I’m not the owner. I’d swap out McDermott for Tomlin yesterday. Edited June 11 by julian 1 1 1 1 1 Quote
