2022 Steelers Season Thread

To say that Tomlin is an idiot is simply factually incorrect. It's abundantly clear when listening to him speak that he is not an idiot. I suspect that his IQ is way above average. One of his sons currently attends Columbia university which has an acceptance rate of 4%.

As for coaches, Austin and Flores seemed pretty damn good.

It's fair to criticize Canada's offense but I expect it to improve significantly this year. Originally Posted by 1pittsburgh

I think Pickett will make a jump in performance. So I’m optimistic. There’s a few holes they can fill in the draft (OT and CB). I think they’re a wildcard team today

Tomlin is an obvious Hall of Famer. It's a shame half the fanbase can't be proud of that, but whatever. Let 'em wallow in it.

Finishing last season 7-2 and within a whisper of the playoffs, after a 2-6 start, was all coaching. All about Tomlin and Co. Terrible teams don't just gel like that under subpar coaching.

While I appreciate your pearls of wisdom it’s obvious you are targeting and trolling me once again.
I think the mods need to address this. This is a guy that has been banned for posting personal info about a provider and member. How do I know he doesn’t have personal info about me? Seems to make this his life’s work.

Tomlin is NOT an idiot. Others in this thread agree. Hes a first ballot HOFer. He has an higher IQ than me as well. And makes more money than me. He, and the Steelers brain trust are building a very good team. I’m guessing they’ll make the playoffs this year.

What has Bambino taught us:
Tomlin (at $12million a year) makes more money than me.
Tomlin makes more money and is smarter than Bambino.
Thanks Bambino. Pearls or wisdom!!!

Bahahahahahaha

Look at his record! The longer he’s been here and more influence he has, things have gotten progressively worse. No playoff wins in 7 years to start with.

No coaching tree at all!
Inherits Dick Lebeow and Bruce Arians as his coordinators. Compare to what he hires?!?

I like what Khan and his staff are doing though. Now Tomlin will be forced to work with new talent. Hopefully better then Lagarrette Blount or Melvin Engram.

Tomlins record is 163/93/2, 636 winning %. He just coached a young team with a rookie QB to a 9/8 record. Another winning season. No losing seasons. They’re obviously rebuilding but never have they tanked under Tomlin. They are always in the hunt. You can’t say that about 90% of professional franchises. Love him or hate him, he’s clearly not an idiot.

2022 is over, which is the thread title. Looks like Tomlin and crew are building a better, and deeper roster for 2023. They have more higher round draft picks than they’ve had in a longtime. Pickett should be better in 23. He showed poise and competitiveness coming down the stretch. The Ravens are in disarray, and the Browns is the Browns. Cincy is still better than the Steelers at the moment. But they have beat Burrow. Hopefully, this years draft pushes them to the AFC North title. Which they’ve won 7 times under Tomlin.

Here’s a list of some notable idiots that Tomlin keeps company with;

his career record is solid with a .636 winning percentage but his playoff record is .471.

Ben didn’t become Ben until Tomlin. Cowher made him a Game Manager. I didn’t think Cowher was HOF Material. He Lost 4 AFC championship games. Mostly as favorites and at home. But he’s in. Tomlin is very similar. He’s a lock. Nolls a different story. He took over 40yrs of losing and zero talent. He built that dynasty. But even the Emperor Noll had some warts. He wanted Newhouse over Franco and didn’t win after the 70’s.
Jimmy Johnson did a similar thing in Dallas. He built the 90’s dynasty. He should be in the HOF. He did hand it over to Switzer. Who actually might be an idiot.

What did Don Shula win with Marino? He lost a SB as a huge favorite against the Jets. But he has the most wins. Belichek without Brady? Andy without Maholmes? Walsh without Montana? Joe Gibbs is probably the most underrated NFL coach. 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QBs. I’m not a Tomlin lover. But he’s not an idiot. His coaching career isn’t over yet. He might win another SB. He’ll go as far as Pickett will or can take him.

Chuck Noll is in a class by himself. Top 3 of all time

I agree. A class act too. He gave all the credit to his players. Clearly, a very bright man who had many interests outside of football.

The two biggest plays of the SB where they beat the Cardinals, were made by a player who was a backup in XL, and a player who was in college that year. Tomlin has also been involved in drafting future HOF players.


As for the intelligent man coach T, he, Colbert, Kahn, and Weidl have built a strong team. I'm looking forward to the season.

You don't have to take my word. The vast majority of experts, former and current players and coaches agree.

Yep, Tomlin took Cowhers players who went 8/8 in Cowhers last year and won the SB two years later. So one could debate Tomlin coached up Cowhers players. Like I said, it’s a straw man argument. Very few coaches have been to two SBs and won it once. Cowher and Noll had a couple of miserable seasons. So they had higher draft positions. That’s how Cowher landed Ben. I guess you could say Cowher earned the 10th overall draft pick that year because they stunk the year before. Noll went 5/11 one year. Tomlin has been a consistent winner. Maybe not in the playoffs lately, but the players have to take some responsibility too. He’s consistently picked in the bottom third of the draft.
