Maybe ask for an autograph if it's on a resignation!
Brah
2:55
Answer, no one is a better candidate and he'd be unemployed about 2 seconds
Tom Servo
2:55
Yeah Paul that’s an absurd take.  A 15 year head coach with Tomlins reputation absolutely has control of his staff.
Zeise
2:56
I assure you that he doesn't have complete autonomy in that regard
Lou
2:56
Complaining about what should have been done is pointless.  It’s taken the Bengals a million years to be as good as they are today. How long will it take the Steelers to get back on top?  Maybe 2 losing seasons in row I think. Then maybe 2 more years after that. I’m guessing 2026 is our year!!!!
Tony

See Paul is great but might not admit this. Most of the local sports media in these press conferences have relationships with all these coaches. They don't ask a lot of tough questions because of that. It is mostly softball Paul, I know you don't agree. Tomlin should already be on the hot seat because he's only won 3 playoff games in now 12 seasons. None in last 5. Blown out regularly in the playoffs. The local media especially should be hammering that point.
Zeise
2:57
There are guys who ask tough questions. When fans complain about a lack of "tough questions" what they really mean is "why aren't you acting like some drunken yinzer at the bar and screaming things like "why does your team suck!!" That's what they really mean
Dirk
2:57
He would get hired by someone in about half an hour
Richard
2:58
Time to take what few marketable players we have and trade them for draft picks and yes.......rebuild.  It's time.
Brah
2:58
No, the head coach doesn't make all the decisions. Have you ever heard of an owner and GENERAL MANAGER
Joe
2:58
The patriots always picked last, and are always competitive.  This year rookie an and playing very well.  Coaching is king, but Colbert isn’t the genius that he’s made out to be also.
Javi
2:58
Thats the thing..they dont want to get rid of tomlin bcuz he'll be hired in 30min by some other team..so thats i think why hes just never gonna be fired
Ian
2:59
Z you there?
Scott
2:59
This team isn't on the right track for rebuilding either. Love Harris and Mother, but Greene was a whiff we couldn't afford. Hopefully Moore improves, but who knows.
Brah
2:59
Steelers have the worst fair weather fans.
Destiny
2:59
The best thing this game shows is they need talent. This is not going to be a one year fix.

I noticed that ARII had an assistant run down and retrieve him a new Steeler hat last week and the assistant cut the tags off this time... i.e. Anytime you see Art wearing Steeler gear... it's  bad.
Tom Servo
2:59
Let’s asssume
Brah
2:59
You all are completely clueless! You realize the GM has an incredibly prominent role in decisions. KC is the CEO of the steelers to make it a little easier for the dense to understand
Murphy
2:59
Please ask the question ab
Michael Mozart
2:59
Just like last game, dropping all those little passes
Hammer
2:59
Ballage is not an NFL player
Whines Hard
2:59
The only splash play I've seen is Ben's pick 6.
Steeler Nation - Ann Arbor
2:59
What happened to my "tough questions" for Tomlin #2, Zeise?
Zeise
3:00
They don't fire coaches. And your "tough questions" have been asked
Murphy
3:00
Please ask question from Carlo
Tom Servo
3:00
lets assume you’re right and he doesn’t control his staff.  Then the question becomes why can’t the attract quality assistant coaches and why does no one want to hire our coaches.
Zeise
3:01
Let's be clear - I didn't say he doesn't control his staff. I said he doesn't have complete autonomy to make decisions about his coordinators.
Jb
3:01
Agree. Tomlin will get another job but Steelers might find another solid coach.  Maybe better. Can’t live in fears. Make a change. It might work out better for both parties.
Tony
3:01
Fine Dirk let him get hired then. He has grown stale here. Sorry you don't see that or want to see that
Tony
3:01
Paul, our coach is over rated.
Mr. Omicron

I can't wait for Tuesday's presser.  Get ready for plenty of Tomlin clichés.
Brah
3:01
You're right Joe the Pats have done it, they are the only more successful team I'm referring to. Feel free to site another example
javi
3:01
Pittsburgh is only as good as Roethlisberger and so far Thats bad.
Buddhamanmf
3:01
can the movie Heidi interrupt this game ?
no man
3:01
Why is everybody afraid of change, always what happens without tomlin , what happens without ben,we will never find anyone as good as what we have.
Hammer
3:02
Ben will come out now
javi
3:02
Pittsburgh has the worst fans.
Buffy
3:02
Dirk, if some other team would hire Tomlin in half an hour, they can. The question is, would he come back to haunt the Steelers? The answer for me is no. But having said all that, Tomlin is not getting fired and he’s not quitting.
