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.
