Nobody enrages white football nerds more than Tomlin. Do I think the lack of playoff wins is good? Of course not. But there is clearly a benefit to establishing a culture and program. At some point the Steelers need to find a young QB though, but before that happens it looks like they can win with Russ. Good team, drafts well (besides Pickett) too.

Stop giving racist management an out.
that had zero to do with their fan base.

im not giving anyone an out

im saying racism in Miami is bigger than the ownership

didnt the police put the beats on Tyreek a few weeks back? wheres the ownership or fans on that

So? That played no role in the Fish trading for him.

Piss poor response. Fanbase had zero to do with Fish management coming up with a reason not to hire Tomlin.

Meaning black obviously. Even if a white coaching candidate was "hiphop" they would just see that as a positive trait that might help him relate more to the younger players. People love it when white guys are hiphop.

also nothing i've witnessed about Tomlin is hiphop, he look like he listen to country music.

These documents are like 2 -3 years old. I heard about it during the Brian Flores fiasco because dolphins front office tried to use the Tomlin interview as a defense and a reporter looked into why they never hired him. It's still mind-blowing though.

Now they got zero rings and a coach who wears sweatpants and off white Nikes while losing games he should win.

I'm not doubting that he could be telling the truth, but did breh at least provide any type of evidence to support this statement? I just saw him reading from a screen before I had to turn away due to the spittle on his mouth. Nasty cac

Just imagine how often we face this looking for jobs in America.
I punched a white supervisor because of something like this at my 3rd job back in 2006.

"Hold up bro, I need you to repeat that. You said those dudes in delivery are too hop hop? What does that mean".

I rocked his shyt after he answered šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø
