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 has the respect of the majority of the players and they play hard. I kind of feel like Tomlin has this complex where he has to feel like he’s the smartest guy in the room. Hence the reason he’s had such terrible coordinators. His coaching tree is basically all trunk and no branches. I don’t think he is great at in-game decisions like when to challenge plays and time out usage. I don’t think he is a great disciplinarian. I think he let’s too much stuff slide. The Steelers commit the dumbest penalties! Things like taunting and all the celebration penalties before the NFL started allowing them. I also hated how he didn’t put a stop to Juju doing pregame TikTok dances on the field. He’s allowed a culture where some guys are more worried about their brand than they are about winning. I do like the fact that he insulates the players from the media and really doesn’t throw guys under the bus. That’s a huge reason why he is loved in the locker room.
