I'm cool with that!Raiders fans right now.
No chance. He's gonna go to CBS for a year or two and then probably Cincy if/when Zac Taylor is axed.
and apparently because he stepped down, he remains under contract technically, so either Pit would have to void his remaining deal or a team will have to trade for his rights

LOL, Tomlin still has 2 years on his contract. This sounds like an early retirement break for one of the greatest Head Coaches in NFL History. I expect he will take 2 years off until the contract runs dry. Then think about coming back to the game after, possibly as a College Coach to reignite his love of the game.

I noticed that quick hand which LaFleur rolled with nicely. I want to go with youthful indiscretions on him. Hopefully he’ll mature in to becoming honorable.

Fuck that. I dont want Tomlin as a head coach of the Bengals. I'm not high on Z Taylor and never have been but Tomlin is hugely overrated as a head coach. Since Zach Taylor has been the Bengals coach they've gone 5-2 in the playoffs and been to a super bowl. In that same time period the Steelers have gone 0-5 and lost every game by double digits. Pitt has won 68 regular season games since 2019 to Taylor's 52. If Burrow had stayed healthy for the two complete seasons that he missed in that time frame I'm sure the numbers would have been better. The "never had a losing season" is impressive but other than that....bleh.

He had Roethlisberger for 2 of those games. Pickett for one. Russell Wilson for one, and Aaron Rodgers for one. That's two HOF QB's for sure. Maybe three.
He picked Pickett. That's on Tomlin. Taylor had to rebuild the Bengals in 2019.. A team so removed from talent they only won 2 games. in three seasons he took them to the SuperBowl. Tomlin took over a team that had won the SB two seasons prior to his arrival, and only got them to two more shows in 20 years. Taylor is not a great head coach, but neither is Tomlin. Tomlin is way overrated.

You mean he had HOF castoffs after they had their HOF years. Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers have not been the same since they left their original teams.
I was shocked to see this today about Tomlin but yeah he was getting long in the tooth.

At their worst they were all better than Pickett ever was. Again, Tomlin the magnificient couldnt get to more than two shows in 20 years? WITH a hof QB in his prime for most of his tenure? And hadnt won a playoff game in the last decade? That's a great head coach? The fuck it is.

I mean you can say that about a bunch of coaches. Look at Harbaugh he had full prime Lamar and got squat but he is going to still be a highly sought after coach. Sometimes its just environment look at Andy Reid although I still think that overhyped dude got super lucky with Mahomes/Kelce and it wasn't so much the coach as transcendent players(although I think he missed his calling as a comedic element in commercials). You can't argue with Tomlin's win record and someone will want him as a proven winner who maybe needs a push to get farther. Read an article where Arthur Smith has been OC for his whole tenure maybe it was just bad OC he couldn't get rid of and that is the change he needs who knows. Sometimes retreads work out in the NFL sometimes they don't but all owners seem to be willing to take the chance on them.

Agree. Tomlin borderline overrated. Similar to Sirianni in Philly. At least Tomlin calls defensive plays. Sirianni is a high paid cheerleader. Tomlin is an above average and his demeanor has gotten him this far. That's a lot of years of not winning a playoff game. A big portion of the Niner fanbase wanted and likely still want Kyle fired and he's been with the Niners less and with more success.

Andy Reid has been to 6 SuperBowls and won three of them and has only been a head coach for about 5 or 6 seasons more than Tomlin or Harbough....who is also overrated. Andy Reid is more successful and he drafted Mahomes and Kelce, so totally earned or not he gets credit for doing so, and credit for their subsequent success. Reid is a great HC. Tomlin and Harbaugh are not. Theyre just good head coaches everyone thinks are great because they lasted so long in one place.

It's been my observation that an exceptional team leader can change the whole performance of their team.
That could explain how some coaches can seem to do well, then can't seem to do shit.

So latest article on ESPN say Harbaugh to the Giants. Can't wait to hear how Eldritch reacts to this.

All the home teams are favored other than Rams at Bears.
High of 20 degrees in Chicago at game time so I don't know about that one.
