Steelers Have 'Rumors' of Trading Mike Tomlin

Will Mike Tomlin leave the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason?
PITTSBURGH -- Let the rumors swirl. Right now, people are talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach heading south in the offseason. Not for scouting, for another job.
The Steelers are linked to an offseason trade for their head coach all because one NFL insider tossed a name out there for an NFC team . Here's the thing, these things seem to happen every year.
The difference this year is there seems to be support around it. There also seems to be a "reason" to do so.
What will it take for a Tomlin trade? Would it ever happen? And is there any actual evidence that it could happen? You can't believe things people say without real evidence.

Pure and utter clickbait. And no, coaches do not get traded every year.

Why you gotta tease us, man?

I think he's saying these rumors happen every year, not that they actually get traded.

Although, I don't know how true the former is either.

We all know this.

Tomlin will not be fired. He will either leave on his own accord to another job or "retire".

So the oline got kenny killed. I really hope this is where they decide they need to upgrade the trenches

They are ranked 12 football outsiders and 2nd on power run blocking. They are 18th on PFF but Doctson really drags them down.

Yeah the most likely thing is the rebuild the depth on defense in FA and through the draft see what KP and the young offense looks like this time next year. If he looks like a top 15 guy Tomlin will sign an extension if he doesn’t then he takes a year off like Peyton and does tv. Has a new team in 25.
Flores is hopefully hired in 23 to be a HC elsewhere so the Steelers get draft picks

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

I've figured it out

Tomlin = Jar Jar Binks

 

[wheelz87]

If we were interested in real changes after the year...I have a great interest in San Frans D Coordinator DeMeco Ryans as a head coaching candidate.

I don't understand from fans that aren't open to a change in leadership. What have we gotten for over a decade? This is a proud franchise and they are allowing complacency.

None of our coaches are meeting expectation and this league is result driven. End of story. No "they just need another year" or "it's all the players fault".

Coaches sign up with the knowledge that their job is likely short lived.

Listen. I DO like coaching stability. You have joke organizations like Cleveland/Detroit who hire coaches every year. Never give them any real time to establish themselves.
This is different. This is failure year after year. The talent is/has been there. I don’t mean to be that guy but we’re the Pittsburgh ****** Steelers. Amongst the greatest franchises of all. Why is this mediocrity accepted? The years we do make the playoffs we get embarrassed. The guys are never ready. We don’t invest in the trenches, which pssst is only the most important building block to a team. The culture is absolutely destroyed. What redeeming quality is there to Tomlin anymore? Bottom of the barrel in clock management. In Xs and Os. Get a guy who knows how to run and offense and can develop Kenny. Kid has talent. And for all the pub Tomlin gets about drafting receivers…. who lots of swings and misses in there. Diontae is as unclutch as it gets. Pickens can’t be contained. Claypool gone. We don’t have any weapons for Kenny, other than Muth. Swing and miss on Najee too. It’s 100% beyond due time for a change.

 

[Pens x]

Hopefully, Tonkin takes his gang of idiot coaches with him to Carolina.

They opperate like a normal NFL franchise so you know that wouldn't last for more than 2 years. Well I give it 2 because they are abnormally bad and rightfully so.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Tomlin = Jar Jar Binks

So…he’s a Jedi?

 

[Pens x]

I guess trading him would be the only way for this team to rid itself of Tomlin since they are too cheap to fire him and pay a replacement.

 

[OnMyOwn]

There were rumors of him being traded to Washington before. I don’t see getting traded ever happening.

 

[Pens1566]

So…he’s a Jedi?

Sith. Jar Jar was a secret Sith Lord.

 

[Common Sense]

I think Tomlin will retire once he’s done here. Tomlin’s reputation is bolstered by coaching a small market team. When the national media guys talk about Tomlin being one of the greatest coaches in the league, they’ve probably watched 5 Steelers games in the last 5 years. If he went to a bigger market with more pressure it would be like Mike McCarthy going to Dallas and turning into a figure of fun overnight.

How the hell do you lose when you are up 33-0 at half and 36-14 at the start of the 4th quarter……somewhere Bill Cowher is spinning in his grave.

Bill Cowher isn't dead genius.

Bill Cowher isn't dead genius.

 

[Al Smith]

He’s been dead to me ever since he rang the siren for the Canes in the pkayoffs against the Pens in 2009.

 

[Power Surge]

The other part of your post, can't wait to see the highlights on that one. That's some Oilers-Bills 92 playoff voodo.

This is an excellent question… especially because the Colts have a guy who played in the league for so long as their head coach… because that means they are totally qualified to be a head coach…. Or so I have been told

Does that mean you don’t think Jack Pardee or Andy Reid are qualified to be a head coach?

 

[TimmyD]

Does that mean you don’t think Jack Pardee or Andy Reid are qualified to be a head coach?

I’m confused by the point you are making here?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Gonna sleep in for this one. Not watching Turdisky get another shot he doesn’t deserve because Tomlin wants to be a giant bitch.

If you listen to Hurts he felt Tomlin was going to draft him in round 2 instead of Philly. We took Claypool could you imagine what 7 would have done if they did that. We know how 7 felt went they took mason in round 3. Tomlin wanted Lamar but Colbert gave 7 an extension after the Jacksonville playoff loss and called him the unquestioned leader of the locker room.

Big Ben being an absolute tool because at his age he couldn’t realize a team, a f***ing team, needed a succession plan?

Color me surprised that the fat f*** was that way.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I’m stoked about the Trubisky vs Darnold bowl.

Lot of excitement around this battle of the 5-8 juggernauts.

Hope it lives up the hype.
