I agree with Clark, once Tomlin is gone then pure mediocrity begins.
No, once Tomlin moves on, his new team and the rest of the NFL is going to find out what people in Pittsburgh have know for a decade. He's an enabler of bad behavior and a mediocre coach whose teams are consistently are unprepared and underperform, largely because of his shortcomings.
I don't doubt that he's a nice guy and probably a genuinely good-dude, but his coaching style is horrible. He's like the parent that parents as if they are the kids best friend.
The fact that George Pickens will go largely unpunished (I think he'll either not start and miss a series up or be benched for a quarter) when he unapologetically admitted to taking plays off because he's scared of injury, is all you need to know.
Also, Im old enough to remember when Noll was going trough the same thing on his way out. Although Steelers were underperforming, a lot of people were scared of the unknown and were saying the same things about him (who are you going to get? You'll miss him etc). In Cowher's very first year, he took that underperforming bunch to the playoffs.
