Every year the guy under achieves and yet the Steelers keep him. Another end of year losing streak. How wonderful.
Can we fire tomlin already.

Won’t happen. He needs to go work for the Rooneys as executive VP in charge of something
Tomlin is a rah-rah guy who can maintain a talented team at a pretty high level. He’s not a rebuild and out scheme type of coach.
You saw that from Steichen on the opposing sideline tonight. The Colts embarrassed Tomlin with Gardner Minshew and their #3 and #4 RBs.
The standard is the standard. He needs to abide and walk his azz out the door.
I'm not sure many here will get this but "play the music".
The standard is way below the standard. No fight left in these Steelers, It comes from the top down.
After 17 years the message gets old and I’m sure he can’t put the hours in with as much energy as he could when he was 35. Plus the fact that he lived off of Big Ben for years. Sometimes change is needed. This is one of those.
It’s not Tomlin so much as it is the QB talent and some of the surrounding cast. The Steelers are in a decline in overall talent level and that is as much luck as it is in less than optimal drafting and talent acquisition.
With a top 10 QB, this team is much better. This is an observation from a non-Steelers fan looking from the outside of Pittsburgh fandom.

See ‘Rooney Rule’. Not gonna happen, unfortunately!
Stillers just aren't very good, lucky as hell to be 7-7
Yea these last 3 weeks have been bad. I don't think I've ever Steeler players just quit during plays (Hello WR room) before.
I'm also tired of his idiotic sound bites and quotes. I still don't think Matt Canada is a good OC but the issues with the Steelers go a lot deeper than just Matt.
Belicheck and tomlin careers under a little bit more scrutiny after Ben and Brady left. Hmmm.
I don't see how that has anything to do with this one bit. They can hire whoever they want.
Why the outrage now? The Steelers have been very mediocre for a while now. No playoff wins since 2017. The Tomlin .500 or better every season has allowed him to think .500 is acceptable.
He's had Superbowl caliber talent teams that have consistently underperformed as well. The Steelers should have at least another ring or 2 with the talent they've had under Tomlin. Possibly the worst thing for the Steelers organization (I'm a Steelers fan) was Tomlin winning one with Cowher's guys early. That gave him another 15 years of not playing to their talent level and slowly declining over much of that time.
Belichick to the Steelers and Tomlin to the Patriots. That would make Steelers fans heads explode.
It’s become an offensive centric league. Defensive minded coaches like these guys have become dinosaurs very quickly.
That hit by Kazee used to be celebrated until James Harrison was nearly killing guys out there. The rules changed and Tomlin hasn't. Offense wins. Even in college football, Saban has acknowledged it.
I’m confused by the ejection rules in the NFL. Was it a vicious hit? Yes. But, there isn’t necessarily a targeting call in the NFL, right? Just unsportsmanlike conduct. And don’t they usually give a player 2 unsportsmanlike penalties before the ejection? There were several questionable calls in that game on both sides. Just very inconsistent calls and a lot of flags.
Heard they want Franklin, an extension and pay raise are on the way for JF as we speak
Yep, right or wrong, the NFL has made it into a 100% great QB dependent league. Nobody wins consistently without one. BTW, who drafted this clown Pickett?
I think Pickett could be serviceable with the right offensive scheme and coaching. However, his ceiling is a Kurt Cousins like career with A LOT of talent around him to help. The other two on the roster have had enough opportunities to prove themselves and they haven’t.
They'll eject a guy on one hit if they deem it flagrant. They are much more willing to throw a guy out after one play like they did there (and the ejection is coming from New York, not the on-field officials). I thought it was a pretty obvious ejection while watching it, based on how games have been officiated all season.

I was at a wedding last night and sat next to a Pittsburgh native and die hard Steeler fan. He said the debate he and his buddies are having is would you trade TJ Watt and Kenny for one of the top couple draft picks to take a QB? Makes for an interesting conversation even though not likely to happen.
It depends on who you view as the next great NFL QB? Many say Maye has all the intangibles and is the top QB prospect. I personally don’t see it. Some say Caleb Williams. He certainly is athletic enough, but I don’t think he is a sure fire can’t miss either. The Heisman kid? Maybe? But, I don’t think they need to make a drastic deal like the one you describe to get another possible QB solution. If they finish sliding like they are now, they should have a mid first round pick. I think they could probably get a kid like Penix Jr without making any moves in that circumstance. I think that is realistic and should be considered. The draft picks they got last year have made considerable contributions this year. It appears last year was a good draft, but they need a QB, OL, and DL. Heyward isn’t getting any younger.
