So much to unpack here I am going to get flamed as a apologist. So I’ll settle on the “I call BS” on the bolded sections.
Please provide the link to “Tomlin has final approval on the draft and FA..” Because that’s absolutely false and you know it. You hate the head coach. We get it. There are many feel the same. There are many who do not. But making up rationale for disliking the coach is wrong. Colbert is the de facto player evaluator for college and pro personnel and has been since Mr. Rooney hired him. Tomlin is the head coach of the players on the team and coaching staff. They do exactly the same thing Chin did with Colbert for several years, they formulate the roster. Identify what worked, what didn’t or can improve. Then Mr Rooney (now Art2) with both Colbert and Tomlin comes to a consensus. This applies to FA, and draft.
Teryl Austin was not an INTERNAL hire. He was hired as a secondary coach. He’s been a DC with two teams and secondary coach with several others including college. All the position coaches have input to game planning and player decisions.
Again link please for this, because Canada was brought in to make Fichtner‘s offense less predictable and more fluid with Canada’s college motion offense. Canada remaining was a circumstance of Ben returning one more year, less change to the offense but import new ideas to help Ben. They didn’t have a new QB to teach a “new” offense as they felt they could win a championship now. I didn’t like the hire, felt like he was in over his head and his professional mannerisms didn’t reflect a OC at all.
The last bolded statement……again totally fabricated and is purely your opinion only. I get it the sting of the end of the season hurts. It always does. But we have eight weeks till FA starts and we get on the ride again.
First of all chum I do not hate Mike Tomlin. I don’t know the man personally so it’s harsh to say I hate him. Do I think he’s a good coach? I think he’s an average coach that has helped assemble an average football team that produces average results. If you’re ok with that fine, but I’m not.
He rolls out the same outdated defense every game this past year and frankly since he’s been here.
Brings back a 39 year old QB to play behind a rag tag OL and an OC where play calling can be called questionable at the very least. Canada is in over his head and that’s what Tomlin promoted. If buddy Butler retires, same old same old with Tereyl Austin being promoted from within. I didn’t say Austin was an initial internal hire, I said he will be promoted to DC if. Butler retires. That will be a promotion from within.
All you want to do is poke holes in my assessment which is based on what I see, what I actually know, and what I feel. I know for a fact he has great input and final approval on all player personnel so I don’t really care what the **** you think.
You’re happy with this guy,have at it but don’t spew your BS to me. This coach will never,ever get this team to another super bowl. We now have the worst talent in the division so enjoy looking up from the cellar with your beloved Tomlin.
