JuJu isn't a top 10 WR, but he is good and is getting better rapidly. Maybe part of that is even due to coaching!

It's quite the opposite I assure you. If Luck makes the hall of fame someday, we'll certainly look to Indy's hiring of Reich as the turning point of his career. He was going nowhere near it with the coaches he had before.

You don't have a team with a hall of fame QB, a top tier WR, and (until this year) a top tier RB without very good coaching. They simply wouldn't be in a position to put up the numbers.

Just look at Phillip Rivers and Tony Romo. They played on some absurdly talented teams, but never had anywhere near the success Roethlisberger's had because Norv Turner and Jason Garrett were/are far worse coaches than Tomlin is.

I think Tomlin and Garrett are pretty much the same level of bad coach.

This isn't a good argument. NTM that Tomlin has nothing to do with the offense. The only thing keeping Luck out of the HOF no matter who his coach was is his OLine's ability to protect him and his health. They literally upgraded his OL from horrible to league average this year, he still has mediocre skill players and he's playing like an MVP. Ben played at a high level before Tomlin was his coach and the idea that players like Brown or Bell wouldn't have great NFL careers without Tomlin is pretty dumb.

It's funny how the NFL works for 90% of the people involved. The GM gets lucky in the draft and the coach is a genus. Otherwise he's an idiot who can't coach. The O-Line stays healthy and the Running back is an All-Pro. Otherwise he's an overpaid bum. Add talent at WR and the QB is fantastic! Why wasn't he this good last year?

If you look very carefully the AFC North is just like the AFC East, so Tomlin not being Patriot's level good is just kinda unforgivable when you think about it. The Bills and the Ravens have basically been the same team for the past ten years. It's unforgivable.

Tomlin can be a good coach and you can also say that the Steelers might need to get a new one. The same thing happened in Philly with Reid where all parties just needed a fresh start.

Maybe, but remember that Reid's tenure in Philadelphia came to an end after a four-year decline, culminating in an extremely disappointing 4-12 season. And hey, maybe this might be the start of a similar decline, but Tomlin's still only a year removed from a 13-3 season, two years removed from the AFC Championship game, and will still finish this season with a winning record, so it's hard for me to accept that the time to fire him is now, or even soon.

e: I will point out that the Lions just fired winning coach for underachieving, and that has resulted in spectacular failure thus far. Good coaches are hard to find, guys!

Moving away from reid was a disaster that through chance turned into something after an embarrassing ride. People keep bringing this up like it was the secret to success. Maybe, just maybe, the eagles would have even had more success by keep their great coach.

Perhaps they could even be defending Super Bowl champs!

Reid should always be remembered as one of the greatest Eagles coaches who ushered in their greatest level of sustained success. It was also absolutely time for both parties to move on after 14 years.

The story as Reid tells it is he himself thought he had too much front office power in Philly and he didn't like that part of the game and just wanted to get back to coaching. Of course I think almost everyone believes he had something to do with why Dorsey is not the GM in KC anymore so I'm not sure if he doesn't still have that problem.

Also half of Chiefs fans would probably hire that OL coach as DC at the moment sight unseen. They wouldn't be right obviously but man is he loyal to poo poo coaches.

I always like to consider the NY Giants Super Bowl consistency as a good measure, with 1 Super Bowl appearance every decade except 1 (I think the 70s.) Its as consistent as anybody can get, and it's obviously much longer than anyone wants to deal with, but maybe something to keep in mind with where a team is headed. Sometimes 1 or 2 seasons can be too short a time (and even too soon) considering this scale. There are coaches so bad they need to be fired immediately, but I think old school franchises like the Steelers have this much longer term mentality.

Course the Patriots gently caress the whole thing up, but that was all very "recent" so idk

I don't care about that either, but he's also late to team meetings, which is completely unacceptable from a coach.

There's been some bullshit as well (running sprints in preseason / practicing outside), but he has to be pretty happy about Steve Wilks and Hue Jackson otherwise he'd be getting mocked 10x as much as he has been for this performance.
