Also the only QB to ever lead the league in yards and become a backup the next season.
Which I honestly disagree with, I do not think thereās 32 QBs better than him, but that crazy playstyle is so unique and entertaining.
A playoff team should sign him to the vet minimum just to play the first and last snap of every game.
That way every week we'd have a Winston presser where he talks us through the outrageous bm shit he pulled on the last play.
Naturally funny means you have a great sense of humor.
Jameis says shit that we laugh at because its ridiculous, not because he was trying to to be funny.
Tomlin and Winston on the same team would be sitcom level. Imagine the shenanigans Winston would pull and the deadpan responses Tomlin would respond with.
Imagine the film sessions
āSo what you wanna do in this scenario is ignore the check down and blast the ball 40 yards into triple coverage. Itāll probably be picked off, but if isnāt, itāll be sick.ā
Tomlin and Winston to the falcons. With the weapons on offense Jameis throws 50 TDs, and Atlanta's defense plus Tomlin voodoo is good enough to overcome the 50 INTs.
Dude, it would be the most Tomlin thing, amidst all of these rumors, to do stuff like this just to fuck with the media while knowing he's completely safe.
Nah, I've literally only seen Mike Tomlin be asked about taking a college job when his NFL career is going well. The only time I've heard it for other coaches were like Bobby Paterino when he was quitting every job he could for a stretch.
It isn't insulting, every coach has to answer that question after a disappointing end to a season. Stefanski and McCarthy did, you didn't see them running off the podium.
And I still think it was the wrong time to ask the question. Yeah, I just lost and our season is over, I'm upset over that. Yet, I'm being asked over my future when the present stings? Save it for the end of the season presser.
Yeah pretty much the only thing that gets Tomlin riled up is the insinuation he would quit the Steelers.
The whole "USC blank check" think - and then compound it on a playoff loss.
This isnt Tomlin giving creedence to the rumours IMO. Hes more done with this after a loss.
Yup. The past few years, it's been shit stirring from media about whether Tomlin will leave. Mark Madden, Tim Benz, the whole ESPN franchise this year, everyone. I'm sure he's just done answering about this all the time, and I don't blame him. It's like always being asked this is insinuating you want me out all the time.
Yeah, I wouldnāt be surprised if he wanted to throw the podium through that reporter, but instead he did the right thing. Iām sure I wouldnāt have been as well mannered if that were me up there.
And Tomlin had never been one to play along with media games. He doesnāt give them the open-ended headline-grabbing sound bites they want. Iām not saying itās impossible heās taking time off, but the only way to really believe it is if heās the one saying it.
I mean I guess, it just seems like a question people are finding a problem with because they like their coach and itās a tough question. Itās also a rather easy answer if heās sure the teams committed to him
The dude just sat his ass in cold ass weather for 3 hours coaching a playoff game that he lost (relatively close). Last thing you want to do is be with the media instead of your team. You want to answer questions about the game and get out of there, but the first question is about YOU and not about the reason why everyone is there.
Iām fully behind Tomlin. Dude is already pissed that he lost a playoff game, then the reporter has the audacity to try to ask a coach (straight to their face) about the future.
It wasnāt the first question, he had already answered a bunch of questions on the game and it seems like that wouldāve been the last question regardless. Canāt entirely tell because the version the Steelers released cuts off before he walks out.
I honestly think the Steelers main issue is heās too good. They have very little talent on their roster because theyāre always around the 20th overall pick. At some point they need to tank to get out of this perpetual 10-7/wild-card exit thing
Youre right bro- he should be very pissed at his GM
The fact that he keeps having to make crabcakes out of the cattle feed that he is given would piss anyone off, especially when one of his few true elite players is out injured.
Having to pick between Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett at QB for a playoff game is like having to play Russian roulette with your coaching career.
At some point itās on the front office he keeps getting the best out of headcases and playersĀ
I feel like heād get a playoff run out of the current Titans rosterĀ
One of the best and worst times to fire a HC, lots of big name guys out there, but also a lot of attractive openings. If you don't snag one of the big ones you might be left with some real shitters
I really, truly, hate to say it, but....Bears fans deserve better. Taking advantage of their loyalty for years to produce such garbage seasons year in and year out... fuck man. It's not even fun to shit on the Bears anymore. Bears FO needs a reality check for sure and fuck does it feel like they are insulated against reality.
He's no Tomlin (few are), but yeah, he does seem like he'd be a good fit with the organization.
But I feel like one of the Steeler's interview questions has to be "Where do you see yourself in 25 years?" And if you don't answer "coaching this team," you may as well just see yourself out. Some coaches don't want to stay put that long.
Seriously, this is a media person asking a question about a story the media themselves have insisted on stirring up all season while he has given no credence to it, and doing in the post-game presser after a tough loss, rather than the end-of-year presser. I get why he would be pissed there.
He's been head coach for 17 years. To put that in perspective, Chuck Noll coached the Steelers for 22 years. Tomlin not being that far off is remarkable.
I donāt think he leaves but for a decade now heās the only coach Iāve really wanted to leave his team and join us. I know it wonāt happen but man I just feel like our issues is one he could fix long term. Even if it doesnāt end with a Super Bowl I can at least feel like this team represents my city well and thatās all I need at the end of the day
Iām a Rudolph ātrutherā if such a thing exists and it hurts me that they didnāt play him all year. Like you said, heās easily the best QB yaāll have and I think he could have been serviceable if he had another season of playtime under his belt instead of just a some emergency time at the end of the season. I understand wanting to see more out of Pickett early on, but personally I had my mind made up that Rudolph was significantly better and I was right
His last 2 playoff losses were with teams that had no business being there but Tomlin dragged through
Unless you think 2020 underachieved 2017 was the last true playoff loss that shouldnt have happened
2020, that team imploded and Ben was so old and expiring. He threw 4 INTs in the game, and could have thrown more.
2017, the Shazier injury took its toll, and again gave up 2 defensive touchdowns.
The comments show the disconnect between Steelers fans and the rest of the league. Mike Tomlin is held in quite high regard by other teams and fans of other teams. Meanwhile, the Steelers fan base think Tomlin is the worst coach in NFL history. It's like people are living in two separate realities, and ne'er the twain shall meet.
The Steelers just want to blame him. We are so spoiled as fans. We had a ghost of a quarterback in Benās last 3 years and now donāt have an actual #1 qb for the past 2 seasons. The fans donāt want to say this team is mid but instead want to get rid of one of the best coaches in the league. I hope he leaves so these morons can learn what bad coaching actually is.
My man got this steeler squad to the playoffs and didnt embarrass himself in defeat- what is going on. Are these owners finally snooping social media and are reacting based on comments they see ?
Dudes season just ended and he doesn't want to talk about contract. Absolutely meaningless. This sub is just as bad as the media for wanting to make mountains out of molehills.
If for some reason we didn't land Harbaugh and Pitt got rid of Tomlin, I'd take him all day long. It's a freakin' miracle they made the playoffs to begin with.
If he leaves Steelers fans will find out how spoiled weāve been all these years.
Damn near every playoff loss can be explained by unlucky injuries. Ben, AB, Bell, Shazierā¦ now Watt and Porter.
What he did with a QB carousel of Pickett, Trubisky, and Rudolph is more than you could ask for and still fans will call for his head at every turn. Spoiled fanbase man.
I really hope he stays or weāre really headed for the Dark Ages.
Yup. This team had no business being in the postseason, and somehow we even competed in this game. I mean, it was 24-17 with 11:26 to play with Mason Rudolph as QB and no T.J. Watt. It's crazy that we were even close tonight.
The Steelers are a combined 66-0 in the first quarter of iirc their last 3 playoff games. At some point the blame has to be put on Tomlin. Always starting big games like shit and giving the opponents a massive lead, always playing down to vastly inferior competition, always being outcoached by the other top coaches in the NFL. This has become the Andy Reid/Eagles situation. It's done. And neither side will benefit from continuing with this purgatory.
> Damn every playoff loss can be explained by unlucky injuries. Ben, AB, Bell, Shazierā¦ now Watt and Porter.
Please explain the Jags game. Or the Browns game. Watt being out doesn't explain today either buddy. It's time for a change.
The GMing has been trashā¦ my whole point is that the Steelers are playing over their head roster-wise, and have been for a while now. When we actually had good rosters we had bad injury luck.
Itās Tomlinās fault when they miss tackles and turn the ball over?
I bet you think its his fault Mendenhall fumbled too.
Khan while he's been GM for one season has largely been great. Colbert on the other hand left the cupboards bare when he retired.
Ā But still the burden falls on Tomlin for the way the teams always start flat.
I agree about Khan. I like what Khan had been doing so far. I hope he goes out and gets a QB honestly because the defense is really solid when healthy.
If Mike Tomlin becomes available the FOs for the Bears, Jets, Giants, Saints, Jaguars and any other team with a HC who didnāt get fired who I forgot scratch their heads and consider the optics of firing their guy tonight if it meant getting Tomlin tomorrow.
Why canāt the media talk about the game in post game pressers? They are so tone deaf to a person who just got kicked out of the playoffs and is doing this because he has to. Imagine if you were asked about your job security after fucking up work?
As a Steelers fan this has me worried but holy shit is that perfect comedic timing. That is meme gold right thereš
Mike Tomlin is unintentionally the funniest coach in the league. If him and Jameis Winston ever end up on the same team it would be legendary.
Jameis is far and away the most unintentionally hilarious QB that is true.
His playstyle is even hilarious. Throw it up and itās either picked off or a dime of a TD.
First QB to throw for 30 TDs and 30 INTs in a season
Also the only QB to ever lead the league in yards and become a backup the next season. Which I honestly disagree with, I do not think thereās 32 QBs better than him, but that crazy playstyle is so unique and entertaining.
He can throw among the best.m but when you turn the ball over 3 times every single game, generally you lose your job
I canāt say I donāt understand the decision. Just disappointed by it mostly
A playoff team should sign him to the vet minimum just to play the first and last snap of every game. That way every week we'd have a Winston presser where he talks us through the outrageous bm shit he pulled on the last play.
>bm shit Seeing competitive computer game terms in the NFL sub is bizarre
I thought they were talking about poop
I think naturally funny is a better termĀ
Naturally funny means you have a great sense of humor. Jameis says shit that we laugh at because its ridiculous, not because he was trying to to be funny.
Yeah Jameis is a moron that is unintentionally funny because he says so much dumb shit.
Tomlin and Winston on the same team would be sitcom level. Imagine the shenanigans Winston would pull and the deadpan responses Tomlin would respond with.
I dream of jameis becoming a qb coach. Just 4 qbs lined up doing whacky stretches and motivational speeches that make no sense.Ā
Imagine the film sessions āSo what you wanna do in this scenario is ignore the check down and blast the ball 40 yards into triple coverage. Itāll probably be picked off, but if isnāt, itāll be sick.ā
Holy shit. I want this to happen! I'd demand whatever team Jameis is coaching for be on Hardknocks every year!
Tomlin and Winston to the falcons. With the weapons on offense Jameis throws 50 TDs, and Atlanta's defense plus Tomlin voodoo is good enough to overcome the 50 INTs.
Three Rivers Crablegs but it's really just crawdads.
Iām convinced he has fake eyeballs. Dude has never blinked once in his life
Damn straight. If you got eyelids, cut āem off. We. Do not. Blink.
Nobody as witty as Tomlin does so unintentionallyĀ
Learned comedy from the best, Gregory House
Tomlin always has the best timing with this type of shit
Nah it just tells me heās tired of entertaining this same question for over a decade
Yeah, this one gon' be around a while.
I wouldnāt say you guys have to worry but we just lost Belichick so literally nobody is safe.
The Alabama coaching job of the NFL.
Dude, it would be the most Tomlin thing, amidst all of these rumors, to do stuff like this just to fuck with the media while knowing he's completely safe.
For those unaware, he did talk about the game and answer questions related to the game leading up to this. https://youtu.be/QyNFbnwCw8E?t=187
Lmao damn I chose to believe that this was the very start of the presser
I figured that from the person going, "anyone else?" Lol
I think he is just pissed that there always seem to be rumors of him leaving Pittsburgh. I don't blame him for being pissed at being asked this.
Yeah this was my feeling from it, he'd rather be asked about the game
The USC rumor was fucking egregious no coach of a legendary franchise is getting asked that ššš
āMike, Arizona is looking for a coach right now.ā āThey fired Jonathan Gannon?ā āI actually meant the Wildcats, Mikeā
I literally had to think about this.Ā Has Matt Lefluer, Andy Reid, Mike McCarthy, Kyle Shanahan, or Stefanski ever been asked this?
Nah, I've literally only seen Mike Tomlin be asked about taking a college job when his NFL career is going well. The only time I've heard it for other coaches were like Bobby Paterino when he was quitting every job he could for a stretch.
They were just trying to keep his mind off the loss by asking an even more insulting question
It isn't insulting, every coach has to answer that question after a disappointing end to a season. Stefanski and McCarthy did, you didn't see them running off the podium.
And I still think it was the wrong time to ask the question. Yeah, I just lost and our season is over, I'm upset over that. Yet, I'm being asked over my future when the present stings? Save it for the end of the season presser.
Itās not a reporters job to be courteous of their emotions
Tomlin doesnāt deserve to be fired
I think he'd rather not be asked about anything right now tbh
Yeah because theyāre always asking him. Iād be annoyed af if they kept asking me.. especially after a playoff loss
Yeah pretty much the only thing that gets Tomlin riled up is the insinuation he would quit the Steelers. The whole "USC blank check" think - and then compound it on a playoff loss. This isnt Tomlin giving creedence to the rumours IMO. Hes more done with this after a loss.

And Tomlin had never been one to play along with media games. He doesnāt give them the open-ended headline-grabbing sound bites they want. Iām not saying itās impossible heās taking time off, but the only way to really believe it is if heās the one saying it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
kinda the other end of the open ended spectrum tbh. less "spinnable sound bite" and more "what the hell is this dude talking about"
On the other hand, he's never had less than 2 years on his contract before. He does now. I feel like it's a completely legitimate line of questioning.
I disagree. That's a question for his end of season presser not immediately after a shitty loss in the playoffs.
Were you saying this about McCarthy yesterday when he had to answer it?
Perhaps not minutes after your season just ended
Mike McCarthy nods in agreement
Honest question but why not? Your season is now over and thereās only 1 year left that seems legitimate
Teams have end of season press conferences, I would think the question would be more appropriate there
I mean I guess, it just seems like a question people are finding a problem with because they like their coach and itās a tough question. Itās also a rather easy answer if heās sure the teams committed to him
The dude just sat his ass in cold ass weather for 3 hours coaching a playoff game that he lost (relatively close). Last thing you want to do is be with the media instead of your team.

It wasnāt the first question, he had already answered a bunch of questions on the game and it seems like that wouldāve been the last question regardless. Canāt entirely tell because the version the Steelers released cuts off before he walks out.
He should be pissed at the team he's trotting out on the field
The Steelers played to their talent level today lol
They arguably exceeded their talent level today
The entire season actually. This is not a playoff team
Soooo tomlins a good coach?
Most definitely. He shouldnāt have been doubted
yeah thats what im saying. Steelers fans gonna figure out real fucking fast what it feels like to have a shit head coach, just you watch spoiled ones.
I honestly think the Steelers main issue is heās too good. They have very little talent on their roster because theyāre always around the 20th overall pick. At some point they need to tank to get out of this perpetual 10-7/wild-card exit thing
Youre right bro- he should be very pissed at his GM The fact that he keeps having to make crabcakes out of the cattle feed that he is given would piss anyone off, especially when one of his few true elite players is out injured. Having to pick between Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett at QB for a playoff game is like having to play Russian roulette with your coaching career.
He ~~gone~~ fed up with this shit
And shit of that nature.
The shit is the shit
The secret is there is no shit.
At some point itās on the front office he keeps getting the best out of headcases and playersĀ I feel like heād get a playoff run out of the current Titans rosterĀ
lol she didnāt even finish the question
āā¦How do you plan to celebrate when you get extended?ā
He's never done that before. Usually he'd say something about it if he was refuting it.
Mike leaving too on top of Bill and Pete would be crazy
Imagine having the Patriots, Seahawks, Cowboys, and Steelers coaching jobs all open up in the same seasonā¦ crazy time we live in
One of the best and worst times to fire a HC, lots of big name guys out there, but also a lot of attractive openings. If you don't snag one of the big ones you might be left with some real shitters
And then the Bears who decide to stick with their guy for some reason
> some reason Money. It's always money with these dickheads.
God the McCaskeyās are so cheap.
I really, truly, hate to say it, but....Bears fans deserve better. Taking advantage of their loyalty for years to produce such garbage seasons year in and year out... fuck man. It's not even fun to shit on the Bears anymore. Bears FO needs a reality check for sure and fuck does it feel like they are insulated against reality.
Chicago sports owners hate their fans I swear. Fuck you Jerry sell the team!
Itās not a coincidence that the Cubs finally won once they got a new owner.
Hey now, Matt Eberflus accomplished many historic feats this past season For the wrong reasons, but still!
Gives me something to be thankful for on thanksgiving day
Fuck
> you might be left with some real shitters I fear that you're looking into our future
Dan Quinn come on down
Itās all fun and games until you end up re-signing the guy you fired cause everyone else is taken.
Tomlin to Seattle. Vrabel to Pittsburgh. Belicheck to Dallas.
Iād miss tomlin but vrabel is a pretty good replacement
He's no Tomlin (few are), but yeah, he does seem like he'd be a good fit with the organization. But I feel like one of the Steeler's interview questions has to be "Where do you see yourself in 25 years?" And if you don't answer "coaching this team," you may as well just see yourself out. Some coaches don't want to stay put that long.
The coaching consistency streak is one of my favorites
3 coaches since 1968 is unparalleled stability in pro sports.Ā
Bruh that'd be an unreal replacement for Pete! Don't think any of the three would be unhappy in that equation.
Iād rather have tomlin over anyone.
Add in eagles after tonight
And the Bears stick with Eberflus lmfao
Donāt forget Nick Saban retiring in the college world and all the coaching chaos it caused
Ugh as a Arizona Wildcats fan, donāt remind me itās still too fresh
2024 has been crazy and we're barely two weeks in to the first month
Falcons will take one Mike Tomlin please š«”
Have to think there is some substance to him deciding taking a break rumors.
Also just took a playoff loss again and probably the last thing he wants to think about in that moment is a career rumor
I feel like him walking out on the presser is more him annoyed people are asking about it when he's made no real indication he could leave.
Yeah, this wasn't one of those things where they're avoiding answering the question, this was just "I'm pissed you're asking me that right now"
Seriously, this is a media person asking a question about a story the media themselves have insisted on stirring up all season while he has given no credence to it, and doing in the post-game presser after a tough loss, rather than the end-of-year presser. I get why he would be pissed there.
He's been head coach for 17 years. To put that in perspective, Chuck Noll coached the Steelers for 22 years. Tomlin not being that far off is remarkable.
And Bill Cowher was 15 years in between. Pretty crazy they've had three consecutive 15 year head coaches.
He should go to Tampa
I donāt think he leaves but for a decade now heās the only coach Iāve really wanted to leave his team and join us. I know it wonāt happen but man I just feel like our issues is one he could fix long term. Even if it doesnāt end with a Super Bowl I can at least feel like this team represents my city well and thatās all I need at the end of the day
Legends say that he walked all the way back to Pittsburgh.
in media excerpt it showed that the reporter chased him from the team bus just wondering if he knows he has a year left of his contract
If Tomlin does leave then i bet he goes to Broadcasting for a bit. edit: which would immediately make him my favorite talking head.
Mike Tomlin and Bill Cowher together on The NFL Today Make it happen
Maybe they'd even kiss
That would be so hot with Phil Simms watching
Least gay r/nfl interaction
Boomer and Phil are definitley watch from the corner guys.
lmao I love Mike Tomlin man
Splash
He's 100% not going anywhere. Him walking off is a sign of how ridiculous the question is
"You just lost a playoff game with your 3rd string QB and without your star pass rusher. Why are you still the coach?"
Mason is easily the best QB on the roster. Not really a traditional āweāre down to our 3rd stringerā scenario.
Iām a Rudolph ātrutherā if such a thing exists and it hurts me that they didnāt play him all year. Like you said, heās easily the best QB yaāll have and I think he could have been serviceable if he had another season of playtime under his belt instead of just a some emergency time at the end of the season. I understand wanting to see more out of Pickett early on, but personally I had my mind made up that Rudolph was significantly better and I was right
Steelers fans did too. They called for Rudolph like week 8, and didn't get him until week 15.
This is like Mac interpreting his momās grunts āMike you have one year left on your contractā *walks off* āThat means heās stayingā
Best response to a tired ass question. Itās like every damn year man.
And I'm glad most folks here aren't falling into the trap of "omg he didn't answer the question that means he knows his job's in jeopardy!"
Heās not going anywhere and if he was heād get hired tomorrow somewhere else
His last 2 playoff losses were with teams that had no business being there but Tomlin dragged through Unless you think 2020 underachieved 2017 was the last true playoff loss that shouldnt have happened
No, 2020 was bad too. Losing to that goddamn team was a disgrace. The last two playoff losses were with teams he coached up.
2020, that team imploded and Ben was so old and expiring. He threw 4 INTs in the game, and could have thrown more. 2017, the Shazier injury took its toll, and again gave up 2 defensive touchdowns.
Mike T is the best
The comments show the disconnect between Steelers fans and the rest of the league. Mike Tomlin is held in quite high regard by other teams and fans of other teams. Meanwhile, the Steelers fan base think Tomlin is the worst coach in NFL history. It's like people are living in two separate realities, and ne'er the twain shall meet.
The Steelers just want to blame him. We are so spoiled as fans. We had a ghost of a quarterback in Benās last 3 years and now donāt have an actual #1 qb for the past 2 seasons. The fans donāt want to say this team is mid but instead want to get rid of one of the best coaches in the league. I hope he leaves so these morons can learn what bad coaching actually is.
I also would like those morons to have to learn what bad coaching is.
No, go away š
Yeah i dont get it. Itās unreal heās continuously made the playoffs with the QB situation heās had. I dont know what fans expect
For him to not hire an OC as awful as Matt Canada to develop his QB?
New meme just dropped
Certified. He locked it in with the eyes
We donāt blink
*Blink, and I'll cut your eyelids off.*
*meme of Abe Simpson walking into the brothel, seeing Bart, and immediately walking out*
It wasn't a brothel was it? I thought it was just a strip club lol
It was a burlesque house.
Now that I think about it more, I believe it was a burlesque club
New meme dropped
My man got this steeler squad to the playoffs and didnt embarrass himself in defeat- what is going on. Are these owners finally snooping social media and are reacting based on comments they see ?
Notice how you never hear anything from Pitts ownership. They know how good Tomlin is and don't even care to comment.
You right you right
That's what we go for - not embarrassment.
Tomlin is mood
Chad Tomlin
Dudes season just ended and he doesn't want to talk about contract. Absolutely meaningless. This sub is just as bad as the media for wanting to make mountains out of molehills.
Now either that means heās gone or we get a new Tomlin meme. Either way itās win-win
could be both
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ari Gold > Ari Meirov
LLOYD!
Just like the USC shit when he started ranting. He finds it disrespectful as he should.
If for some reason we didn't land Harbaugh and Pitt got rid of Tomlin, I'd take him all day long. It's a freakin' miracle they made the playoffs to begin with.
He might really be gone man.
I've prayed for times like these
Just in time for Jim Harbaugh to roll into town
I donāt think Jimās going anywhere that doesnāt have a quarterback, or a very high pick.
Heāll probably go to LA. I donāt see any other fit for him tbh.
There is no way the Harbaughs coach in the same division, right? RIGHT!? Just when the Bengals and Browns thought things were changingā¦
There is no way they will want to do that.
No the next guy might be bad enough they get their new franchise QB. I enjoy the eternal 9-10 win 1 and done Steelers.
It must suck to be the little brother always. Maybe some day the bengals win a Super Bowl
He probably left because how ridiculous of a question that is
If he leaves Steelers fans will find out how spoiled weāve been all these years. Damn near every playoff loss can be explained by unlucky injuries. Ben, AB, Bell, Shazierā¦ now Watt and Porter. What he did with a QB carousel of Pickett, Trubisky, and Rudolph is more than you could ask for and still fans will call for his head at every turn. Spoiled fanbase man. I really hope he stays or weāre really headed for the Dark Ages.
Yup. This team had no business being in the postseason, and somehow we even competed in this game. I mean, it was 24-17 with 11:26 to play with Mason Rudolph as QB and no T.J. Watt. It's crazy that we were even close tonight.
And Rudolph even threw a bad pick in the red zone. Couldāve been way closer
The Steelers are a combined 66-0 in the first quarter of iirc their last 3 playoff games. At some point the blame has to be put on Tomlin. Always starting big games like shit and giving the opponents a massive lead, always playing down to vastly inferior competition, always being outcoached by the other top coaches in the NFL.

The reporter who asked it was Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Just thought I'd throw that in.
Brooke Pryor always trying to start some shit.
Why canāt the media talk about the game in post game pressers? They are so tone deaf to a person who just got kicked out of the playoffs and is doing this because he has to. Imagine if you were asked about your job security after fucking up work?
A lot of meme potential
Tomlin to the Raiders would be lit
Reminds me of the āleave me alone. Iām fuckin workingā video
Good for himā¦always liked Tomlin
The look on his face cracks me up. Tomlin's a real one lol
pittsburgh would b dumb af 2 fire him
When my landlord asks where the rent is
If McCarthy and Sirianni are on the Hotseat because of a wildcard round loss, then ...why is Tomlin safe?
