Why do the Steelers need to reconsider Mike Tomlin's coaching?
And it's second and three.
Big toss. Wide open. Spinning catch.
Kirk touchdown. Strong play and a good catch by Kirk. Ball a little behind him and the Texans have their first lead of the night. Stroud in trouble. Finds a place to go and he's picked. Echols has got it. Another turnover by this Texans offense. Extra offensive lineman in there, Fisher. Here's a little pitch back to Stroud, looking to air it out. Ball's out. Recovered by Pittsburgh and Y.A. Black. Steeler ball knocked out by Jack Sawyer. First down and goal ball back outside the 10, as Mark says, his first 100-yard game and takes it into the end zone for a touchdown. They're down at 12. Rodgers, time runs out. Ball is out. It's picked up by the Texans and Sheldon Rankins. And he is in for a touchdown. Continue to coach.
If he's let go, there will be a lot of suitors knocking on his door for that as well. Here's an interception for good measure. It's picked off by Bullock. And Rodgers is in his way trying to make the tackle. Can't. And it's a touchdown, Texans.
What insights did Tom Pelissero provide about Tomlin's future?
I'm not even in that mindset as I sit here tonight. I'm more in the mindset of what transpired in the stadium and, you know, certainly what we did and didn't do. Not a big picture mentality to sit here tonight.
I mean, this league has changed a lot in my 21 years. You know, when you hear a conversation about the Mike Tomlins of the world, Matt LaFleur's of the world, those are just two that kind of I've played for. And when I first got in the league, there wouldn't be conversation about whether those guys were on the hot seat. You know, but the way that the league is covered now and the way that there's snap decisions and the – validity given to the you know the twitter experts and all the you know experts on tv now who who who make it seem like they know what the hell they're talking about to me that's an absolute joke and for either of those two guys to be in a hot seat is uh is really apropos of where we're at as a society and a league because obviously Matt's done a lot of great things in Green Bay and we had a lot of success.
Mike T's had more success than damn near anybody in the league, you know, for the last 19, 20 years.
Yeah, sorry, but Aaron Rodgers is full of crap on that one. He really is. And shout out to Rodgers for serving this city and his team well this season. It ended horribly. But the story today is Mike Tomlin, and what Rodgers said there is just not accurate. This isn't about the Twitterverse or short spans of attention or people getting swayed by outside forces. This is about a head coach who can't get it done anymore. Period. And if Rodgers wants to go back to when he came into the league in 2005, I've got plenty of examples of guys who at that time were having sustained success or were about to and would be fired. Of course, I could go all the way back to Tom Landry. I'm sure Rodgers, as a student of the history of the game...
knows that Tom Landry got pushed out of Dallas and Tony Dungy out of Tampa Bay, etc. But when he came into the league, when Rodgers came into the league in 2005, among those coaches employed who were having success or were about to have major success and still get fired were Andy Reid and Philadelphia. Multiple conference championship games and a Super Bowl appearance. He won basically every year. Fired. Brian Billick was in Baltimore at the time. Had one of the legendary teams of all time. Won a Super Bowl. Fired.
How has Mike Tomlin's coaching record changed over the years?
John Fox in Carolina, which was barely in the league at that point. Super Bowl appearance. Multiple division titles. Fired. Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati takes over a Morabund franchise, and Morabund is a good word, limits, and takes them to success they hadn't seen since Boomer Esiason. Several playoff appearances. Fired. Marty Schottenheimer. In San Diego, 47-33 there and coming off a 14-2 season in which they had the best record in football but couldn't win in the playoffs, lost to New England, fired. Tom Coughlin? Yeah, he was with the Giants at that point. When Rodgers came into the league, and as history tells us and as anybody knows, he went on to beat the Patriots, including the unbeaten Patriots in the Super Bowl, and he beat them twice.
