As a formerly proud, avid, and dedicated Steeler fan it is truly disgusting to see what the current ownership, management, and coaching has done to this once respected franchise.
The Steelers used to be synonymous with an over-achieving, hard working, well organized franchise. Since taking the helm, Tomlin has won a Super Bowl in his second year when Bill Cowher's over-achieving mentality still permeated the team, lost a Super Bowl as the last of Cowher's aura was waning, and then managed to be average for eleven years with great talent.
News it's coming out that the players are revolting against Matt Canada's offense and while most of this is probably media driven, I think there is a foundation of truth in what we can all see when the Steelers play. The Steelers will never fire a coach in mid-season, they don't fire coaches ever, they simply don't renew contracts. So my question is "why the hell does this guy have a job as the OC in the first place?"
The only coaches with any credibility who ever coached under Tomlin were let go, Arians, Haley, Lebeau, Munchak, and since then the Steelers have had a series of very questionable coordinators.
We all know it's highly frowned upon to say anything negative about certain people in the NFL so all the talk around Tomlin is how great he is for never having a losing season. However, if you look at what he has had to work with, he has produced extremely poor results in a once proud organization!
I will never root for any other team, but the Steelers are a pass-time now instead of an obsession!
F***!
