He leaves no room for error.  And I've also said that because of that, since no team plays perfect every week, he sets the team up for failure.  Not every bounce/call will go your way every week and you have to be ready to overcome that.

When he had Ben and AB and other stars they could extend plays and make things happen to overcome bad play calling.  I truly believe Tomlin doesn't like that at all.

Last week the offense didn't change strategy until the second half because he wants the defense to win the game.

He even said they didn't prepare for Flacco and that was a problem.  They were trying to stay in a zone to confuse Richardson.

Well Richardson was carving them up and you have the highest paid D in the league...they should be open to change during the game.

Under MT the Steelers will never be a high scoring team again.  

Bold decision when facing a QB who has now only finished 4 of the 8 games he's started and missed another 13.

Tomlin, IMHO, is not a good at preparing his team for the team they are playing.  I think his emphasis is on fundamentals and how HIS team will play and then figuring he has enough good players to overcome the rest.

Then you see the number of dumb penalties and wonder if he's even doing that.

I liked the hire.  I defended him against the racist "he only got hired because of the Rooney Rule" nonsense.  But he seeming inabilty to change his philosophy to match the changes in the league are frustrating.

Sometimes even great coaches go stale.  And Tomlin was never a "great" coach.  Sure fire HOFer due to longevity and that whole "never had a losing season" thing.  But his lack of playoff success will haunt Steelers fans.

Wilson the best paid backup ever
