Mike Tomlin set an NFL record today

Mike Tomlin is a terrorist. Outdated by 15 years.

Without Cowher handing him the keys to a ready made team, he would be another Marvin Lewis.

Tomlin has got to go

some point he deserves credit.

For being Black?

The Steelers cannot simply fire a black man and replace him with a white man

Plenty of NFL teams have replaced black coaches with white coaches. I think Tomlin's consistency is fine and the Rooneys don't run the organization like Jerruh. He could get fired but most likely he'll be allowed to step down, but who is waiting in the wings?

quote:

He hasn't won a playoff game since 2010

2016 but yeah.

At some point he deserves credit.

For what, exactly? Having the most average record in that timeframe?

quote:

That argument might have held water for a couple seasons but Tomlin has been HC for what....15-20 years? At some point he deserves credit.

Time has proven the argument to be more solid. Since the coordinators and staff that were there under Cowher, that Tomlin inherited, filtered out around 2011, he has only won 3 playoff games in 15 seasons.

Should also point out that the hires that Tomlin made to replace Cowher’s guys have left his coaching tree empty. 20 years as a coach and not a single one has moved on to become a head coach.

His early success, his only real success, came from inheriting an elite staff and several hall of fame players. Tomlin also has significant input on player selection, it clear that player evaluation has declined significantly as well.
