Mecca, I'd be careful talking about Tomlin outside of CP. I was basically called a racist on another board for suggesting Tomlin was overrated and he’s at fault for the drama surrounding the Steelers every year.

I still don’t trust Andy completely. He’s had the better team/QB and lost to weaker teams in the playoffs several times.
I will say that this is the best chance he’s got. The AFC is weak and Mahomes is amazing.

I really don't know what to say/think. On the one hand I really do feel like Tomlin and Cowher before him were overrated coaches. But putting aside everything else, their teams WERE/ARE in the playoffs basically every year, and that has to count for something.
And I agree with McCarthy too. Then I think Sean Payton, and oh, gee, he's had Drew Brees for like 10 years and only gone to one SB also, and his teams on average have been far worse than McCarthy's. The real issue is this-- I look at the coaches over the last 15-20 years and they all -- otehr than Belichick -- seem kinda mediocre compared to the coaches of my youth -- Shula, Walsh, Parcells, Gibbs and the like. Today's coaches, at best, remind me of the second tier guys from that era -- the Bum PHillips, Chuck Knox's etc. But then I realize, there can't really be only one great coach in the NFL right now, right? I mean, if NOBODY is "better than average", then we have the bar in the wrong place, and there's just different ways to skin a cat and the whole exercise of consistent success is just MUCH harder than we all think.

For a long time I thought the Steelers hired him because you know when it's the Rooney rule you kinda have to go with it. I don't think he's like the worst coach ever I just think he was gifted a situation that most everyone would have succeeded in. And now that the team has more of his guys on it they are falling apart. And for all that he still has Cowhers QB. |

If an alien (or bandwagon fan) ever wants the flavor of CP - direct them to this goddamn reeruned abortion of a thread.
Go through it and look at the myriad of conflicting gripes. If Andy is sitting on a lead in the 2nd half and throws the ball around - "Reid is such an idiot, he can't manage a clock!" If Reid is sitting on a 2nd half lead and runs the ball "Goddamn Reid is taking his foot off the gas, what an idiot..." For the love of ****. We have unquestionably one of the 5 best coaches in the NFL, a goddamn QB guru and offensive wizard in the era of offensive football. He's a single SB victory from being a cinch HoFer and even without one he'll likely end up among the top 10-15 most successful coaches in NFL history. There is a single coach in the NFL I'd take over him right now and that's because Sean McVay is 14 years old and will be doing this for 3 decades. So I'm just going to quote myself from the last time this pack of braindead ****s were saying we needed to replace him with Josh McDaniels Quote:
And somehow there's a 1,200 post thread based on the premise that he's ****ing Jeff Fisher. Idiots. All of you.

It’s interesting to me that Reid has a much better coaching tree than Belichick. He is long overdue to win a Super Bowl. At least now he has a fearless QB who enjoys shootouts with other QB’s. This could push Andy over the top.

That is because Belichick is the Patriots coaching tree, all of those other dudes just do as they are told.

Patriots way only works when you've got mutual respect based on prior success, and a HOF QB running your offense. Sociopathic snakes usually aren't able to just walk into new teams and locker rooms and for some reason the Belicheck tree churns those out far too often. Maybe you can treat college kids who aren't making a living yet like that, but not in the NFL.

If you think Reid is some sort of gameday rube, you're just not watching enough football outside of KC. Even the almighty Belichick allows things to get hairy in the 4th and that's with a wizard under center. Andy has spent his entire career here playing chess every game and trying to create mismatches against teams. And as a general rule, he's succeeded. He's a well above average gameday coach as well but people are looking for someone to blame.

That's dumb. Any coach can be replaced. Tomlin was a good coach with rings but firing him wasn't necessarily wrong

Mike Tomlin a guy who's never had a losing record in 12 years been to 2 super bowls and won 1 is a bad coach. I've seen it all on here.
