OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Ploff wins?!? Fire Tomlin

[ChaosAgent]

Any predictions on what the Steelers do next year?

What they'll actually do?


*Keep Tomlin
*Scapegoat Austin, bring in some other jabroni DC that doesn't matter
*Keep Smiths (Arthur and Danny)
*Fields as QB1 on a multi-year agreement, sign Minshew or reunite with Rudolph as QB2
*Go overkill on WR, keep Pickens somehow despite the train veering off the tracks, draft a 1st round WR and a splashy FA
*OL counting on internal improvements and health, and another FA signing. Will be counting a lot on the returns of James Daniels and Fantanu

*Continue spending obscene $ on like 4 defensive players, just defer more cap there to make it work
*Bring back DeShon Elliott

*9-8, eliminated in late December or early January again. Pickens sideshow and talks of throwing kitchen sink at trading up in 2026 draft to get a new QB. Likely a ton of noise about the Penn State QB Allar.

I like how Tomlin isn’t even trying to take timeouts cause he knows they are cooked.

did you notice how he took a TO on defense in balt's last drive? thinking they could get off the field after stopping them on 1st down.

ravens scored a td with no timeouts left with 2 seconds on the clock

Tomlin and austin both have years left contracts, they’ll be back. Smith might be gone if someone foolishly gives him a hc chance. We’ll run it back with the same staff and pretty much the same roster with some minor alterations, harris probably the biggest one gone. With next years schedule i actually have them going under 500. In 26 theyll overdraft a qb and waste a few more years.

There is no way Austin isn't a fall guy, and I can't imagine he was making more than $1M/year. It's well worth eating $2M or whatever to take some heat off of Mike and Art.
