I know. And what he did was dirty as hell, too. But the Steelers lived off it, and are still living off it. And getting away with it because that's the identity they got to create way back when.

That's my point of disagreement. It wasn't dirty no matter who did it back then. It was just football.
I think it's disingenuous to look at yesterday though today's lens in any aspect of life.

I'm not looking at it through today's lense. I'm looking at it from a "did you really need to try and decapitate that player?" lense. I hate that it was allowed then as much as now. It's grotesque.

Tomlin under contract at least for 26, team option for 27 that has to be picked up by March - that will be telling to me. They need to move on from the entire coaching staff.
Resign Kenny G because he is actually good. Next OC needs to use Patty Fries, dude makes plays when they used him.
Good news for me at least from the game was Jack showed flashes again, needs more playing time but looks like he's going to be just fine

Kind of had that feeling but still "wow" once you see it.
They have had 3 coaches in my lifetime. Knoll, Cowher and Tomlin....that has to turn into a big time opportunity in the coaching profession.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Rooney thanked Tomlin for his "hard work, dedication and success" over the past 19 years. And said it was "hard for me to put into words the level of respect and appreciation I have for coach Tomlin."
Tomlin released his own statement, thanking Rooney and Steelers players, coaches and fans for their support during his near-two-decade tenure as Pittsburgh's coach.
Just sayin': Tomlin leaves the Steelers same way he coached them for 19 seasons, i.e. classy. Also, the Steelers probably have the best ownership in the NFL too.

Mike Tomlin's wife Kiya breaks silence on Steelers coach's shocking departure
The fashion designer reacts to the coach stepping down in Pittsburgh after 19 seasons in heartfelt posts.
Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons and none of them with a losing record. While the shock around the league is still fresh, his wife broke her silence after the bombshell news that hit three days ago.
The 53-year-old coach Tomlin released a statement on Tuesday, January 13, following an ugly 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round in Pittsburgh.
His fashion designer wife posted on Instagram her own words on what the news has meant to her in four parts:
Part 1: A LEGACY FORGED: COACH TOMLIN
“As many of you are aware, my husband has stepped down from his position as Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I want to take a moment to share something from my heart.I am incredibly proud of all he has accomplished, both on and off the field. Over the past few days, the messages and testimonies shared by current and former players — the men who knew him best — have been deeply moving. They’ve affirmed what I’ve always known to be true about his purpose and character.
His mission began long before the titles and headlines, back when we first met in college, and it has never wavered.”
Part 2: MORE THAN A COACH: A MENTOR
”From the very beginning, his purpose was clear: to help young men become great individuals. Coaching and fatherhood became the avenues through which he lived out that calling.To me, the men who passed through his locker rooms over more than 30 years of coaching, our own children, and the hundreds of young people across the region he personally poured into — that is his true legacy.
They are his coaching tree, and that is the achievement we are most proud of.”
Part 3: THE COACH T COLLECTION
“The Coach T Collection was my way of sharing that mentorship with the world — capturing the lessons, discipline, and mindset that shaped so many lives.
While I don’t yet know what our next chapter looks like, what I do know is that I am deeply grateful for the journey the Coach T Collection represented.”
