But seriously Tomlin could have one of the shortest tenure of the modern Steelers if he does'nt get a clue. Get back to basics of running the ball between the tackles and playing smash mouth football. Think about this how many big hits have you seen this year compared to last year,or any other year. We are a sheel of our former selves and it is embarrasing. But I still say it comes down to what kind of training camp you run. This year High School students practiced harder then the Steelers. That is how you set yourself up for a season like we are having. You play like you practice. I just hope this is a wake up call for Tomlin and hope he has a different approach next year, and gets a little more hands on. Cowher is’nt coaching anybody right now.

A lot of the local media is upset that Tomlin said he was "making changes" and then pretty much made none. The Pittsburgh sports writers are total cheerleaders for the Steelers but they won't tolerate being made fools of. Cowher had open disdain for them, that's why they tended to grill him. They're just now starting to see through Tomlin's lies and phony cliches. Anyway, I've heard more criticism of him in the past 24 hours than in the previous 2 years combined. I think it might be a little too soon to call him a total fraud but I admit he's shown me very little this season. A team quitting on their coach is the ultimate sin as far as I'm concerned.

Why doesn't the media grill him like they did Cpwher? As far as I am concerned Tomlin is a "Snake Oil" salesman! He sold "Snake Oil" to the Rooneys. What is Whisenhunt's Team Now? Get the Point!!!!!!! When is the honeymoon going to be over for Tomlin? Why doesn’t the media grill him like they did Cpwher? As far as I am concerned Tomlin is a “Snake Oil” salesman!

Nobody seems to care or want to step up their game. I agree Cowher did an excellent job with what he had for any season. Had a few rough ones but as you stated they all did their best and looked to him for any type of guidance. I remember getting a few chuckles when someone would screw something up and they'd head to the sidelines and totally avoid him for a few plays to let him calm down. I'm not happy with what's going on either. Nobody seems to be playing or coaching with their heart. You think maybe some of it is arrogance as well? Oh I agree.

Look, I can deal with losing. Sometimes you get beat by a better team and sometimes your own team just isn't that talented. But that's not what's happening. I feel like this team doesn't care, the players don't care, and the coaches don't care, and it makes me mad. Also, as you can guess by the name of my blog, I'm a big Bill Cowher fan. Any coach we have will be held to his standard in my eyes. Cowher may have taken 15 years to win a championship but he always got the absolute most from his team. I feel like this coaching staff is doing the opposite. Yeah, I’m a little angry. Look, I can deal with losing.
