And you bring up the reason why:  Tomlin has his faults...and they are the same he's had for years.

He's bad at clock management, making challenges, the teams start out slow more often than not, he makes poor choices at the coordinator positions, he claims to "not live in his fears" and then coaches from his fears, he's one of the few coaches that still doesn't have someone helping him with situational calls because he likes to "coach from his gut", the list goes on and on.  And without Ben bailing the team out time after time there wouldn't be this silly talk about "non-losing seasons".

Would Detroit or Cleveland or a dozen other teams LOVE to not have a losing season for a decade?  Sure.  Would they still be without a Super Bowl (and with 3 playoff wins) and happy about it after a decade?  Probably not.

I'm not in the "fire" camp...I'm in the realistically looking at it camp.  He has his faults and they never get better.  Win or lose he's the same coach.  He seems to get credit for the wins and excuses made for the losses simply because they win more than they lose....and I don't think those results are because he's a great coach.

This is not within the Smack Talk protocols, but I like you GMDino. But I would comment Mike Tomlin should retire after they get beat by KC the next day. You guys don't deserve Mike Tomlin. If you don't enjoy the fact that you have been in contention for the playoffs every December for 15 years then screw you guys. Tomlin should leave you immediately. You guys don't deserve Tomlin and if I was him I would resign right before the Pitt vs KC game. F' the Steelers.
