Best I can do is point out that I don't think they have a quality win on that schedule thus far.
But since he ran out of momentum on the Super Bowl team he took over from Cowher (and won another championship in 2008), his results have been relatively disappointing given the amount of HoF caliber talent he's had.
And man, Santonio !@#$ing Holmes. Has there ever been a more clutch incredible catch than that one in the '08 SB? And the James Harrison 100 yard TD return with 0:00 on the clock.
I mean that was a low-key incredible game that for some strange reason never gets mentioned among the best SBs every played. Truly a spectacular game.

There are some weird arguments that you can make on either side for Tomlin/Shitsburgh.
First. All AFC teams have squandered talent over the last 20 years because they couldn’t beat Cheatriot. They’re not alone in that regard. Have I mentioned I’m sick of their shit yet? If not, hey - I’m sick of their shit.
The other interesting thing about Tomlins tenure is how many world class assholes he’s rolled into one team and largely kept from imploding. I mean, Big Rape by himself has enough diva to wreck most franchises. Add in that whole Bell and Brown circus and the whole shitshow rodeo is a coach killer.
I have no clue whether Tomlin is good or not. But one thing I know for sure is life was a lot more enjoyable when their team was miserable.
