Good riddance Mike Tomlin!

[CigarStone]

Tomlin's pride finally had to be put aside.

He stepped down as opposed to being fired.

He is probably a great guy to have a beer and a cigar with, and a good human being but he was not a good head coach!

He took what might have been the best for sports franchise in the world and dragged them down to a near dumpster fire!

I honestly didn't see that coming. Let me rephrase, I knew it was an option (heard about his broadcasting opportunities) but didn't expect it to happen.

I'm now assuming A-Rod will finally retire!

I can't wait to hear Steeler fans when they see how whoever the new coach is deals with that bad roster.

The roster looks a lot worse than it is because of his poor coaching all the way around. Steelers have the highest paid defense in the league by a mile and their pass defense sucks so unless you can make me believe that every player has a bad day every game, it's coaching.

Tomlin achieved average to above average results with Elite Talent for many many years.

He may stay for another year now that he knows that horrible coaching staff will be gone.

We will see I guess. High paid doesn't equal good.

Class move by a class guy. It would have been crazy for him to stay after losing 7 playoff games straight.

Lol a Ravens fan at lunch today had him on his wish list so I'm sure you are glad to hear that.

True, so are they overpaid which is a mistake by ownership and management, or are they poorly coached.

Celebrating a great day in Steeler history with my grandson!

Italian brats wrapped in bacon cooked on the smoker, bacon poblano peppers and onions to decorate them.

Topped off by a great cigar from a great brother! Thank you Jon @cabaiguan juan !

@CigarStone you could be smoking a White Owl and it would be your favorite stick just due to Tomlin leaving the Steelers

I'd say overpaid, but time will tell now.
