@jw22_15@TomlinSteelers@ThePoniExpress I’d argue Andy Reid and McVay have also done more, but the rosters and front offices in KC and LA are better than Pittsburghs so that plays a major part
Overall, yes the MT era in Pittsburgh was good. The team was just stuck in the middle. Some type of change was needed
@pawgfather14@TomlinSteelers@ThePoniExpress How did I use him as a pawn?
If he’s gonna coach again, and the options are either getting a ln extra draft pick or not getting one, literally everyone would pick option A since that benefits the team you dope
@GlobeStoreSanta@ThePoniExpress If he comes back, it’ll be to a team already ready to go but just needing a HC (perhaps the Bucs if they move on from Bowles)
I doubt he’s gonna come back to coach a bottom feeder that needs to be rebuilt
@TomlinSteelers@ThePoniExpress I mean, getting a draft pick him would be nice since he left on his own terms instead of being let go
Teams get comp picks for players leaving in free agency. This situation is similar
@Life_is_Parody@BaddestBearJew@TomlinSteelers It’ll take longer than just this year
Anyone who “misses Tomlin” if this team just happens to go 7-10,8-9 instead of 9-8,10-7 hated the hire regardless
Unless the team completely bottoms out and win 4 or less, or they win 12 or more, the hiring grade will be incomplete
@Rick__K7@Steelersdepot Spending up to the cap doesn’t really mean anything. Almost every team spends near the cap
NFL teams all get like $400+ million each year solely from tv deals
@MaybeKaitlynn@Novig Yea
Comparing a decade of no playoff wins to a franchise consistently having 5 or less wins year after year is clearly the same thing
Nice attempt of a troll though
@_beachdante@TomlinSteelers@ThePoniExpress This is the only true answer
He’s a backup quarterback that the Steelers felt would immediately take over for Ben
One of countless R1 swings and misses in the late 2010s / early 2020s
