No thanks, don’t like his in game management. They should have won something with the Ben, Brown, Bell nucleus.

People call for this guys head, I’d prefer a quarter of it over Garrett’s.

Pittsburg lost there starting pro bowl QB, RB, WR and are on a 3rd string back up QB and Dallas has zero significant injuries and Pitt is 2 games over 500 and we have a losing record.

let that sink in.

Parcells took Quincy crack head carter and a bunch of nobodies to a 10-6 record and Garrett has us parked here with this team. When someone says don’t blame it all on the coach they are terribly wrong. It’s a sad joke.
I don't care for Tomlin, but his teams win.

To be fair, Garrett took a backup QB in his rookie year and went 13-3.

It takes more than having talented players on defense for a D to be good. It takes coaching and the right defensive scheme. The Steelers got Minkah Fitzpartrick and has fit him into the system and called plays that utilizes the best of his skill sets and that's something the Cowboys coaching staff fails at time and time again.

No argument there, but it also takes more than just coaching. You have to draft well and pick up the right FAs.

The middle of this defense was pretty mediocre last season, they addressed none of the holes and added no real depth at DT or S.

Given that nucleus has NEVER played in a playoff game together...Go ahead...look it up...each playoff run...the trio of Ben, Brown, and Bell has not been healthy.

NEXT.

I was the biggest supporter of Garrett and defended him anyway everywhere anytime on this board. That 2015 season (When Romo got injured and we ended up with Weeden/Cassel) and lost like 10 games in a row was the first crack in my support of his which has gone of course since last season.
Coaches around the league adjust, work with the roster they have, make changes, get replacements. Romo goes down and we cannot put ONE stinky win without him? Are you kidding me?

I think, and I include my self, we all should have woke up back then and let him go after that season. That was a huge tell about is he or isn't he a HC material

:cool:

And has done what since? Shouldn't players improve from their rookie years?

I don't like Garrett or Prescott, but I also don't like Tomlin.

I don't think Tomlin is someone we should be looking to as a great example - I'm sure he just saved his butt for a couple more years with what he is doing now, but he has consistently failed in the playoffs for over a decade now.

I haven't been following them, but who have they played? (Honest question, not trolling)
Well they have Cincinnati and the Browns and Baltimore, so there is six of their games I'm not really sure who else they played I remember watching them a few times oh, but that's still pretty remarkable considering what they've lost

Especially when you consider the fact that Jason Garrett is 1-15 without Romo and Prescott.

I'm guilty of being on the Fire Tomlin train. Felt he was more interested in being a friend than a coach and that he didn't really have control of the team.

But if he manages to get this team to the playoffs, I'll eat my words.

I agree with you. But the elephant in the room that is the architect of all the dysfunction is Jerry. He has caused almost all our problems because he fundamentally refuses to accept that an NFL owner should never be in charge of football operations. 30 of 32 owners understand that. The winners of the last 23 SBs were teams whose owners hire someone else to run the football side. It’s not rocket science. It’s football science.

Yes Garrett is terrible. But who has kept him around for a decade because of his stubborn foolishness?

Tomlin's done a good job of keeping the Steelers competitive but he's fed off a pretty weak division for a few years.

Still, guy's got a ring and much better resume than Garrett even if that's not considered. He'd be an upgrade, worth a look if the Steelers dump him.
…..and he'd be criticized in the first hour of any tenure.
