Also … with whom has the message gotten stale? Players need to stick around a while for that to happen. How many of today’s players were even on the roster seven years ago? I didn’t examine the whole thing, but I can tell you there aren’t many. The starting offense has turned over completely, but there are still a few on the current D: Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt. Do you think the message has gotten stale with them? Just because you and other fans are tired of hearing Tomlin’s voice doesn’t make it so with the players, and they’re the ones who matter.
I think Tomlin says to Watt, Heyward, Minkah: You're great go do your thing. If he had more coaching ability he would find a way to scheme Watt out of those double teams.
Those guys know what they are doing and he doesn't NEED to tell them, or coach them. Those guys probably watch more film that Tomlin does on their own.
Short of that he relies on the assistants probably more than other coaches. IMHO that's why the O is better this year...his guy is gone. And it's why the D is up and down. his guy is still there.
But, to your point, Tomlin's message is platitudes and cliches. He would get old fast. He's a rah, rah guy in the locker room and in games.
I can't wait to see Hard Knocks and see what we are missing from his coaching during games. I've asked several beat reporters to tell me what he does: sitting with players, going over strategy, anything other than wear his shades at night and wink at the camera when they win.
So when I say he's gone stale I mean it happens and that his "style" may have worn thin or is outdated today.

They were singing the praises of the special teams a couple weeks ago and I noted that the Steelers were one bad game from them calling for Danny Smith's head.
Wins are great. Winning seasons are wonderful. I'm all in on winning!
But unless the team get get a playoff win, or two, Tomlin will always be a Marty Schottenheimer with a Super Bowl win.

Ha! I've cut back on most social media so I don't come around here as much.
But, yeah but the message is the same: Win a playoff game.
Yinzers are going nuts about "Russell cooking!" because he put 414 up on the Bengals. The Bengals.
The Bengals couldn't stop the most obvious QB keeper in the history of the NFL on the Steelers last drive.
You defense is atrocious.
Last year Pickett dropped 300+ in the first post-Canada game and the Yinzers went wild...lol
Steeler s control their own destiny. And all it took was replacing Tomlin's pick for OC and QB.

I will never root for the Stealers to make the playoffs let alone win a Playoff game, but as I said repeatedly.
Tomlin is a Great coach—another year without a losing record that is outstanding.
Such a hypocrite, wasn't it you who were against Russell replacing Fields?
