Exactly. De facto head coach Aaron Rodgers probably made that decision. God, the NFL is becoming like the NBA and NHL in that respect. If only Rodgers were the qb of the Steelers, maybe he could fire the current head coach for life.
At this point I don't think even the Rooney's are able to can Tomlin. The guy seems to have a lifetime contract.
Right now, Tomlin is more an accumulator of meaningless coaching stats than a legitimately elite NFL head coach. The Steelers haven't won a playoff game since January 2017 despite playing in many of them, and routinely have been outcoached and/or outclassed in most of them. Also, he has a large role in accumulating the talent, which has been a major failure since the Le'Veon Bell-Antonio Brown era, which was a long time ago (see most of the first round draft choices in this current decade).
Probably right. I thought they would maybe check with Rodgers before but that doesn't make sense.
Somehow they need to get an elite QB but I have no idea what the path to that looks like. It is not Fields but he probably is good enough to get the Steelers into the playoffs as a 6 or 7 seed. That basically means nothing because we will never win a game in the playoffs and have like the #16 pick. It is a perpetual cycle of going nowhere at this point.
I dont even think Fields starts when Wilson is healthy. Pickens will quit if Fields plays much longer lol
What basically needs to happen is that they have to have two or three pretty bad years so that they can rebuild properly, which hopefully would put them in a position to draft a generational qb like a Stroud or Daniels.
Pickens is another cancer on that team in a long line of them; he's just another selfish, immature brat. He basically got benched on Sunday because he wasn't trying. Also, it was reported that when he sat down on the bench, other players got up and moved to another location. He's just the latest example of why that organization has been so unlikeable since the last great era of players from the mid 2000s to early 2010s began to retire.
have you been following Alambama and Malachi Moore? Moore, a team captain, lost his marbles late in the Vandy game, started screaming at teammates, kicked the ball away from the ref who set it for the next down (getting a 15 yard penalty) then refused to come out when the coaches subed him out. He refused to the DC, then when the HC came out, refused again. Alamaba said that they handled it internally.
I didn't see this because I was traveling back home from the game and also didn't hear about it. I don't know anything about him so I won't comment on him. However, I now have watched Pickens for the past three seasons and you just can tell that he has an attitude problem and is going to be hard to control.
Common denominator is Tomlin and an inability to control or discipline these bratty head case prima donnas. This lack of control hurts the whole team. There are probably other control and discipline issues that are not as public that we just don't see. He talks a rough, tough game in the pressers but in reality is soft with these guys.
When I was a little kid the Jets won the Super Bowl with a quarterback who wore fur coats, dated starlets, and could be seen almost every day in commercials, TV shows and movies. It all seems like a dream.
Who doesn't have problems with Prima Donna WR's. I don't know when this fully started. Maybe it was TO but that whole position group across the NFL has collectively lost their minds.
Somehow, they are training that into WR's in CFB now. So, they come pro-ready.
Gase was fired after the season. Hence no escort. People, not you, always trying to make something out of nothing.
Next up Eagles guy, let the Franklin rumors begin. Kidding, not an Eagles fan but here in FL, before last Tampa game, local announcers called Siriani (SP) worst game day coach in league.Not only did the Jets suck, he wore an unauthorized patch on his shirt.

Don’t forget - panty hose, not that there is anything wrong with that.
