Some Steelers fans pushing for Tomlin’s firing

[rlemieux]

Just because 26 hillbilly fans want a team to fire one of the winningest head coaches of all time doesn’t mean it’s thread worthy. Tomlin isn’t going anywhere.

 

[ozwego15]

he's consistently got them winning seasons in spite of less than ideal talent at QB and other positions.

Well, he probably shouldn't of been drafted where he was. That's the only bad thing I see out of the handling of KP via Pittsburg.

I agree they drafted him too high but he is good enough to be the backup QB on one of the best teams in the NFC but he isn't good enough to keep around more than 2 years on the Steelers...

Just a bad decision by the Steelers...

Both of the QB's are UFA next year and I don't see Fields coming back...
R. Wilson best years are behind him. He has good games and then bad games now.
He really isn't very consistent at this stage of his career.

I'd drive to Pittsburgh to help him pack and drive him down here myself!

I hear Steelers fans are pushing for Tomlin to be fired if things go bad and they fall short again.

I know its unlikely.. but if Tomlin were to be fired\resign. I dont see how he wouldnt be #1 on our list... defensive coach or not.

Zero chance they fire him. The fact that he’s in such a good position with a boom or bust QB like Wilson speaks volumes

Pickett Stats line:

14/24 (58%) 143 yards 1 TD 1 INT 3 sacks

With a great O-line and tons of offensive weapons.

that's pedestrian at best.

Not saying it was great, but they still scored 33 points. 21 in the first quarter after Hurts went down. That said Barkley did a lot of the lifting so Pickett didn't need to do too much.

Having Hurts probably gets them enough to win, but still would have been fairly close.

Mike Tomlin just signed a 3 year contract extension in June 2024.

Steelers are 10-6 (L3) with a clinched playoff berth. They’ll likely play the wildcard round against the Texans who are struggling.

Then lose to the Chiefs or Ravens

Yea, lemme get Tomlin and Teddy B next season please.

 

[ATLien]

Just as long as he doesn't bring that 1930's offense with him.

Boy, that would eat DA up if Arthur Smith ended up here.
Wait! What am I saying?! That would be a coronary and a deal killer for everybody on this forum!

I've said this about our fanbase earlier this year, losing brings out the stupidity in some fans. They come on here fresh off their Madden 25 season and think it translates to real life, it doesn't.

Steelers don’t fire HC they have had 3 coaches since I was 5 I’m 60 now

Noll, Cowher and Tomlin all with SB wins

Bill Austin was the last Steelers coach to be fired in 1968. That’s unbelievable and makes it highly unlikely they fire Tomlin.

2 much more talented teams. I wouldn't call that a knock. Meanwhile, the Saints GM couldn't pull the trigger on a head coach that was drastically underperforming last year.

 

[SirLoinSaint64]

Falling short to Mahome's is frustrating. As it was with Brady. As it was with Jordan. As it was with Russell. Hard to beat the GOAT. Tomlin is not going to be fired.

The definition of don't know what you got until it's gone. The Steelers have no business having a winning record this year.

Reminds me of the Bears firing Lovie Smith after a 10-6 season. They've only had 2 winning seasons since. Five seasons with 6 or less wins. Smith had a few losing seasons, but he kept the Bears competitive with Grossman/Orton/Cutler at QB in an era where Adrian Peterson, Farve.. and eventually Both Rodgers and Farve were playing for division rivals.
