Has Mike Sullivan Been Fired Yet?

[BusinessGoose]

I could stomach the pirates being laughable losers, MLB is rigged against success for teams like them

However,

Watching the steelers become morons

And the Penguins become irrelevant

All while my entertainment bank account shrinks every year so I can't pay attention much to the games anyway



It's tough to be a sports fan for this city in this era.

As a non Steelers fan it’s odd observing the prism their fans see things through.

I would say you’ve been incredibly successful. Consistently making the playoffs and winning. You’re just going through the transition of finding a new QB after Ben which every team goes through.

Ah yeah, it's like the pens.... We expect to you know, win in the playoffs... But yeah making playoffs is success, too, lol

Just been 15 years since the steelers were a threat to do anything

I , like eXile3, am not a Steelers fan so I really don't see the comparison between Tomlin and Sullivan. I understand those that do, though. You live and breathe both teams, so I get it.

As a NY football Jets fan all my damn life, I would kill to have a Mike Tomlin. Mike Sullivan, not so much!

What you’re seeing with tomlin is his peak as a coach. Particularly when he’s not handed a hall of fame roster in an era of defense first football. He will never adapt his philosophy and the Steelers are committed to being at 9 win team bordering on a playoff spot vs blowing it up for three years and building it back to a contender.

The penguins, because they recognize they need to blow it up, are infinitely more entertaining than the Steelers. A contending team is fun. A rebuilding team is fun. A mediocre team that tries to pull out all the stops just to stay C+ is purgatory.

Not gonna tackle the pirates since the owner and the league don’t care if they win

Mike Tomlin = high floor/low ceiling

So yes a team that loses a ton would welcome a Tomlin.
But he'll never take that team to a SB or even win a playoff game (he'll get you to the playoffs).
