What if…(USC)

I apologize if this was covered in another thread. Delete/move if necessary. I don’t post much, so I may have missed it.

For those that follow this much more intently than I…what do you think of what Carson Palmer said? I know it’s just chatter, but it’s out there…people are talking about it.

Would any program really even consider trying to “lure” MT away, like 5 or 6 years ago? If there’s a perceived “end in sight” that would obviously be more likely. And for the conspiracy minded person like me , WHAT IF that was the glue that kept certain players sticking around for one more year. Like it was part of the deal…”stay one more year and we’ll go out together”. (Of course Pouncy and DeCastro would counter that argument, but they have their own lives)

One other thing that struck me as out-of-place was recently when MT discussed how much of a Pittsburgher he was. Great words…loved it, and I believe he was truly sincere, but why the need to say it? Think about it…if you’re living in or around the Burgh with no imminent departure, would you feel the need to tout how much of a Pittssburgher you were? Now, if you’re laying the groundwork for your legacy…

Rumor, nothing more, just like LSU.

Just my opinion, but Mikey isn't going anywhere.

You just posted this at the wrong time. Tomlin shut this **** down, hardcore!

Go see Cope's new thread. Your answer is there...

I don’t think Tomlin is going anywhere, realistically. He has job security and a relationship with the Rooney’s. Football aside, you always hear about how good of an organization the Steelers are to work for. Tomlin is set for retirement at this point.

Just to think, why put up with lofty expectations and constant 3 or 4 year turnover when you have more stability up at the pro ranks? Tomlin is dumb in a football sense but is smart in life/values/etc.


Now hypothetically speaking IF it were true. I’d wish the guy luck. For his shortcomings with some talented rosters, the man never represented the Steelers in a bad light. As a coach and the fact the players seem to love him.
And especially in today’s social atmosphere where society just seems divided. The guy never made bad headlines at a personal tone. So with that said. I’m fine with him leaving on his terms.

Tomlin isn't going anywhere where they hold his feet to the fire for not winning championships or getting into the college football playoffs. His mediocre *** is here for as long as he wants. He knows his limitations

What if Coolie wasn't an *******?

I know there is another thread about this topic, but even into the future I don't see Tomlin working as a college coach. I don't think he wants to deal with recruiting, the boosters, ADs, etc. It just seems like a terrible fit for him. He loves to coach football and that's what he gets to do at the NFL level.

What if Coolie wasn't an *******?

Two possibilities

1) probably most here wouldn't like him as much

2) he'd be missing over 1/2 his body..............................................

how could anyone like that ******* *******??

and it is likely 90% of his body

When they offer him 15 mil/ yr. he will leave.

Tomlin flat out said there isn't a blank check large enough to lure him away. Saban gets just under $10 million per year, so no one is paying Tomlin--who would hate recruiting--$15 million.
