What NFL HC is under the most pressure this postseason?
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
What do we want from Tomlin? These other coaches got either the best QBs in the game, nikkas that look the part, or dudes with potential. He got two throwaways and he under pressure to beat Shaq and Kobe?
If it wasnt for the injuries, I would say Sirianni. But that may not even be enough to save him if they lose, especially early.
How about Harbaugh? Everybody got their pitchforks ready for Lamar. At what point does his playoff struggles reflect on the head coach?
If that's the logic some want to go by, then people gotta stop bragging about him not having any losing seasons and finding ways into the playoffs if you're going to make excuses when he can't get it done.
We've seen trash QBs manage to win at least one playoff game, so we can't sit here and act like Tomlin and his teams can't as well.

I think its because Harbaugh has a ring and Lamar is such a talented player and qb who is "polarizing" while you already know the
element to it..
Mike Tomlin should but he gets the media pass.
Steelers have a none title streak second only to the cowboys for one of the premier franchises.
Funny how the Rooney's and Tomlin get no pressure the way the Jones and Davis family get

I voted McDermott, but it’d be so dumb to get rid of him imo. Same goes for Tomlin.
I remember when people thought Marty was the problem with the 14-2 Chargers. Hiring Norv Turner blew a stacked team up.
Coaches are like QB’s: it’s tough to upgrade but it’s very very easy to downgrade.

DeMeco will be fine. Making the playoffs his 1st 2 years as a HC is pretty impressive considering the dumpster fire they were prior.
When did success stop being enough? When did we get to this place where success is just a basis to expect even greater success? Especially when the success itself is beyond what anyone could have expected. Nobody had the Steelers doing what they did this year with flabby Russ and Fields but since they did we aren't gonna give props, no we are just gonna say they better beat Kobe and Shaq?
Not having any losing seasons when you got the likes of flabby Ben, Pickett, Trubisky, and now Russ and Fields is an accomplishment that should be celebrated in it's own right. You shouldn't need to pull off miracles in the playoffs in order to be given proper due for that. It's like somebody building a house with their bare hands, no tools, no trucks, nobody else helping and instead of marveling at that we say "We can't give you props for that unless you build a mansion...matter fact an entire neighborhood" We just take for granted that no matter who is behind center, the Steelers won't suck and most likely will be in the playoffs despite sharing a division with Lamar and Burrow.

Feels like it’s Sirianni. They were going to fire him last year and held off but it’s now time for him to prove if he’s going to be this coach going forward.
It's funny how the narrative this weekend is simultaneously "Lamar is under the most pressure to win and is the biggest choker of all time if he doesn't" as well as "Tomlin needs to go if he loses against a team he's 10 point underdogs to, no excuses"
Is it or are you looking to be a victim.
What is Mike McCarthy's record in Dallas? He has only had 1 losing season this year and that's losing his starting QB and starting the season without his top defensive player.
All that and they had a chance to finish with a winning record, yet people and the media are calling for him to be fired and saying the cowboys under performed.
Why is it unfair for Tomlin to get the same pressure that McCarthy gets?

Because McCarthy with the Cowboys has had a top 10 QB and lost twice in the first round when they were favorites at home.
Do you really think people would be calling for McCarthy's job or praising him this year if he would have taken Cooper Rush to the playoffs, which is what Tomlin does essentially every year in a tougher division?
Lol they lost to the 49ers a team that with their starting QB did the same as the cowboys this year. Any calls for shannahan jr to be fired this year?
Tomlin chose his trash QBs since Ben left. He doesn't get a pass for picking shytty QBs and then losing playoff games with them.
Like is said it's amazing the pass Tomlin gets for image reasons. It's the Pittsburg fukking Steelers reduced to bragging about Tomlin not having a losing season instead of winning titles.
Must be nice to get that big a pass.
Cowboys get shyt on for not winning titles and losing playoff games but Tomlin gets every excuse in the book for leading the Steelers to identical results
You’re not very bright are you
It’s almost as if there’s pressure on both of them for different reasons. Crazy right?
Because he's the coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers were the expectations are to compete for SBs whether you think that's fair or not.
It'd be different if he was coaching a different team. No different than the expectations of a team like the Cowboys looking for SBs.
He's a victim of the team he's coaching and the legacy behind them.
I wouldn't use the spread to make your argument considering how bad the Steelers have fallen off the last few weeks of the season after initially being a higher seed than the Ravens.
