Kerr won't exactly be able to keep Green, Ezili etc. So we'll see if he passes the test

Tomlin has done a great job IMO. Pittsburgh has maintained being a force in the afc.
And he will probably lose at least one of his assistant coaches.

Tomlin, who has turned a Ferrari into a Ford Focus

:comeon:

82-46 record, a championship and last year his team won 11 games. No losing seasons yet and it's MUCH harder to keep a great football team together than keeping a great basketball team together. If Tomlin gets fired tomorrow, he'll have a another head coaching job before the blink of an eye. Don't disrespect the brother.

Too early to say right now, but football is generally a much harder sport to remain 'competitive' over several years- so much harder to detect what is a better spot. For example, in hindsight John Harbaugh stepped into the RIGHT spot after all those top round defensive picks- but did anyone think so at the time? Hell, half the Browns team is top 1st round picks, would you say any of their new coaches stepped into the 'right spot'?

With respect to Tomlin-
The year before Tomlin arrived, the Steelers were 8-8. 2 years later, they win the SB, largely due to him drafting Woodley and promoting Harrison over Porter. It wasnt like he had some turnkey operation.

:snoop: You my Steeler's brethren and all, but your hatred for Tomlin is the only reason why I know you are whiter than a slice of wonder bread:russ:. Look at this brotha's track record:

Not ONE losing season
A 82-46 record.
4 Division crowns in only 8 years

I don't know anyone at all who disliked tomlin. I'm a Ravens fan and I don't even dislike the guy. Can't find a reason to aside from that thanksgiving night bullshyt with jacoby on the kick return in 2013

:yes:
With the offense we have we just have to get that defense back to at least being respectable and we should be good to go. They've already somewhat had a change of philosophy in drafting imo by selecting ball hawks(Golson/Holliman)instead of the usual physical db who can play the run but can't catch. Get the defense back to being good and we should be in contention for the remainder of Ben's career
