Do you guys think Tomlin or Siriani get fired if they lose in the Playoffs? (59 Viewers)

[educator_71]

I have heard they are on the hot seat right now. Do you think think if they lose they’ll get the ax?

 

[gavinj]

No

 

[jayd265]

I hope. I’d take either

 

[TheRealJRad]

Tomlin 99% stays
Siriani I’ll say 75% stays


Edit: Unless Tomlin retires maybe, but that would be a crazy surprise

Tomlin if he loses the first game is a realistic possibility. Siriani unlikely. They've gone to the super bowl with him, won many playoff games and make the playoffs consistently and have a solid shot at winning the Super Bowl with him, and odds are, the coach they replace him with won't even be able to make the Super Bowl. It would be a terrible idea to fire him. But if they do, hell, I'll take him for New Orleans. The guy, despite being unliked by the media is a good head coach that builds a good team year in and year out.

If Buffalo loses in the first round, I would believe that Sean McDermott's seat may get warm.

Sirianni isn't going anywhere. Doesn't matter if they lose by 50. He's got a .704 winning percentage with them, highest of any active coach in the league and 5th highest all-time.

Tomlin I don't think goes anywhere. Steelers value stability too much. Unless he gets pressured to retire of course.

Considering he's only 52 years old and is probably looking to coach another 5-10 years, I don't see retirement as a realistic option and despite some Steelers fans getting anxious or unnerved about going one-and-done since Big Ben's retirement, well again, they don't have that franchise Pro Bowl QB and apparently some of those idiot fans think another HC will just waltz in there and get them one and they'll be appearing in SB's again. Or they assume that anyone could realistically coach those Steelers teams to the playoffs, which is another sign of how spoiled, and detached from reality many of them are having only 3 HC's in the past 55 years. Or just delusional.

If Tomlin gets "pressured" to retire, lets dispense with the formal BS and just call it what is is, being fired.

If Sirianni loses in the first round again, their might be some grumbling because Philly fans and sports talking heads can be very reactionary but his 2022 SB run has likely earned him maybe a few more seasons to rebuild and reconcentrate his teams and with Saquon appearing more likely to have several more outstanding seasons, the future is bright with him in Philly. I would be very surprised if Eagles did lose to Green Bay in the WC though anything could happen.

 

[DerrickB]

Don't know about Tomlin, but I can definitely see Sirianni getting canned if they lose to Green Bay.

 

[whodatbe]

Should they no, will they...possibly Philly bc of the owner. Just bc the fans may not like their current head coaching doesn't mean they know what's best. If anything those fans are spoiled, definitely Pittsburgh. They should ask Raiders, Jets, Browns fans how they feel about their continuing carousel of coaching. Though to be fair, look at some of the owners in these league don't make the situations much better.

Agreed.

Tomlin is a top 20 coach in the history of the NFL

Siriani seems to be able to help shape a roster and get things going in the right direction. He also showed after last season that he is able to refocus his team and retool his team after a down year.

I would gladly take either in a heart beat.

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

if their owner caves to fan pressure like ours did, sure anything is possible.

Hilarious post. Are you suggesting that Allen's firing wasn't based on his job performance, but fan pressure?

99.9% of the Saints fanbase was foaming at the mouth for Allen to be relived of his duties, and rightfully so. He was very bad at his job. The numbers said so, and so did the eye-test. Regardless of fan behavior, he deserved to be fired.

Tomlin is a Hall of Fame head coach whose team was a game away from winning a competitive division with leftovers at QB and WR. There may be a small percentage of the fanbase who is ready for a new era but nothing even remotely similar to the fan climate here in New Orleans.

Sirianni is in his 5th year with a 48-20 record and is 5-2 in the postseason including a Superbowl appearance. Again, not close to the same fan climate.

Absolutely wild comparison.

He can do a sham retirement for a year like Payton did cause he was “tired”

 

[dbridge]

Isn't Tomlin the only coach in NFL history to have never had a losing season? If he exits Pittsburgh, whether by firing or retirement, I wouldn't mind him here. He knows how to build great defenses and we could hopefully keep Kubiak to be his OC.

As for Siriani, I like how he understands how to best utilize his players. Just compare how he used Zach Baun to how Dennis Allen used him. All the free agents they've brought in (AJ Brown, CD Deuce, Saquon, etc) have been doing great under Siriani. I don't think there's a high probability of him being fired, but if he is, he would jump to the top of my wish list.
