OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Blamed Canada

[The Old Master]

That is absolutely not true. TJ is twice the football player that Garrett is

and he doesn't even get to play against the steelers.

 

[Flying Dego]

I don’t believe race plays a role in the Steelers keeping him. I do however believe that race is a little bit of a factor in why national media is very hesitant to criticize him

Rooney helped foster interviewing minority coaches for openings. You really don't think it plays some underlying factor?

I could care less what ethnicity any coach is at the end of the day Tomlin like Mike Sullivan he has more than lost his team.

We need to move on from him and his obnoxious coaching tree. A full rebuild of philosophy. While we are at it...get rid of the players like DJ that have no future here.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Can we nuke the entire coaching staff? I am not surprised at the play calls at the end of the game. We have been seeing this shit for years. They are a combination of predictable and terrible.
Undisciplined, unprepared, uninspired. I could go on. If AR2 isn’t willing to make changes after all this then he too is out of touch. I hope they lose out.

 

[Khelandros]

Why do they keep using Harris the 3rd and short runs, when Warrren is the better back?

He isn’t the better back. He really struggles with pass protection and between tackles he is great in space

Not if you want to be able to hire new people who wouldn't rather be at a different NFL team. The national media's love of Tomlin reflects an NFL wide perspective; guys aren't going to want to work at an organisation they see as unreasonable and lacking loyalty if they can work elsewhere.

Besides, I'm guessing most of them are competent and will do better under another guy (who'll also want his own guys, which is a good time to make changes).

Both guys have 5 3rd and short runs this year. Warren has 21 yards and 3 1st downs, Harris has 42 yards and 4 1st downs.

This usage and results seem fine to me.

Tomlin is so clueless. The funny thing is he says the same shit, tone, etc like Mike Sullivan and both are revered as legendary coaches by Pittsburgh Media and sports media in general. Bizarre shit, I don't get why sports analysts are so afraid to say "Great coach, but for this team, it's time to move on, for both, a great coach can lose a room, get elsewhere and and have their voice matter again to a new squad..."

Is that so hard to say? It treats the coach with respect by media but also properly says - Yeah this shit ain't working mate, they need a new coach and this coach needs a different team.

The thing about Harris is I think he's being told to be a certain way based on his size and what not, because the entire RB world is saying "Harris can be better with a little less weight to be more explosive" and yet the offense is made in a way that when the plays are called for Harris, it's just not the right ones and he's not the right RB to execute them vs the plays Warren gets where his shiftiness and size lets him be slippery. I think both are effective, but maybe converting Harris to a fullback might be a better move.

Then again, they didn't even use Derek Watt properly in that role under Tomlin & Clown Co.

With Harris' size, if he doesn't want to trim down, then bulk up and be a proper Fullback, block, make plays, let Warren be the #1 RB, let Harris be the #1 FB.

The coach can never be wrong,.never the root of the problem..it's a foreign concept in Western PA.

Pittsburgh Media - Is the coach the problem or the players? It's the players, the coach can never be the problem, how can these amazing franchises hire awful coaches?

*Coach is fired*

Pittsburgh Media - The coach was never the right fit and here's why...

@Night Shift - I mean am I wrong? That's literally what they do.

Hextall had like some weird hit piece out by Yohetard and Rosshit. Yet the same issues persist, it did before "sleepy" and now that Kindergarten Kyle Dubasshole is there, same shit. Tomlin is some Hall of Fame coach according to Analysts, but here he is, prepping his team to face two 2-10 teams like its a joke and then he blames his players for not responding, Minkah is mad and calling players out because he doesn't want to talk shit about the coach because of the stigma that can get and how Tomlin will bench him for it...

The only safe coaching job is the Pirates, because just showing up is a win there, imagine going to work knowing your ownership doesn't give a shit about wins, just about profit so you're just there to make the players look ok enough to trade to turn a profit.

Well I was going to say the most hated and blamed is the QB (by fans and media), OC, then any other random player comes next. Take any young QB and stick him with the Clown and this is what you get. I would hate to currently be drafted if I was a QB coming out to this organization. It's a no win.

Poor Kenny. If I was him I'd request a trade.

Unfortunately Kyle "Stu" Dubas can't hear you cause he's in Vegas with the Wolf Pack again. Baby

Mark Madden: Steelers should fire Mike Tomlin

Coach Mike Tomlin should be fired the minute this wasted Steelers season ends. Enough with adhering religiously to what daddy and granddaddy did. When the coach deserves to be fired, fire him. Never changing coaches is supposed to give the Steelers stability. Do these Steelers look stable to...
