- One-n-done four times
- Missed the playoffs 3 times
- 3-5 record from 2011-present, with one of those wins gifted by the Bengals, who never win playoff games
- Lost to Tim Tebow and Blake Bortles
- In 7 of his 11 years, he's either gone one-n-done or missed the playoffs entirely
Sure, by Bengals' standards, this would be wild success...but Tomlin's results don't match his reputation as a great coach.
As sad as it is, that last line couldn't be more true...
"If the most important thing is the financials' and the second most important thing is winning, then you don't have a chance. It's so important for ownership to do what it takes to win"
