I guess what I'm trying to say is part of me wonders if he was nudged out the door still.

I suppose it's not going to matter.

And you know what?

If Art ever walked down this year, next year, or five years from now and fired Mike Tomlin, we still would never know because it would never be couched that way.

Something just seems amiss about the whole thing.

That's all.

I don't think that happened.

It's just a wondering.

Based on had they had previous conversations about things like that, not the extension, the option year being triggered in 2027.

If Mike knew that wasn't going to happen, that's what I wonder about.

Then why didn't he tell his players what Art told us, that I've got some stuff happening in my life, it's a family thing, or I've missed a lot with my...

Family, I want to go spend time with them.

Instead, according to DeFabo, the words were, in the business of the NFL, there's consequences for not doing your job.

That's what DeFabo reported Tomlin told the team.

Yeah, but he painted it as I didn't get the job done.

Therefore, I'm out.

In the NFL, there's consequences for not doing your job.

As a professional in this business, you have to live with those consequences.

That, to me, is different than Art saying this was a family matter, not a football matter.

That's just swirling around in my mind like, hmm, what exactly happened here?
