Greetings Steeler fans. Bears fan here.
I was told to come here by Bears fans, since I posted on our sub that with our roster as is, Coach Tomlin would have us at a minimum 6-5.
I don’t know if Coach T calls plays, but based on the recent firing of Matt Canada (anyone think that dude should have been a hockey coach???), I think the offensive play calling & game-plans are subject to the OC, therefore it is possible we still have Luke Getsy as our OC.
Coach Tomlin is probably my favorite NFL HC. I especially like how he was able to moonlight on the TV show House early in his career. Haha, JK. But I really do like how you guys are constantly winning, competing for division titles, making the playoffs. It just feels like, from afar, that he is top tier HC talent. As in, top 5.
Also, what do you think your offense would look like if Justin Fields was your QB instead of Pickett?
Cheers. Thanks.
Tomlin is an excellent coach. Period. There’s a reason we have a winning record right now and it sure asf isn’t Kenny Pickett, despite him being the best QB in the nfl (/s).
I like Fields and while I’m certainly biased as an OSU fan I think he would do much better in pretty much any other program. That said, I can’t really be sure how much better he’d do in Pittsburgh. I think a terrible (but improving!) o line and Matt Canada Scheme™ is an awful way for any young qb to develop and kind of screws them from the start, which is what I believe happened to fields. In Pittsburgh the same would happen IMO but maybe not quite as bad as Chicago.
