Football General Talk

Tomlin quit...It would sure be intersting if he ended up with the Ravens and Harbaugh on the Steelers...but understand Tomlin needs team approval to take another job for a year or two. Reports lean towards working in media for a year.

Blasphemy!!!!

Google fu estimates Tomlin to be worth circa 30 mil....he'll be ok. I like him.

I would buy me a place on an island somewhere and go on a few hunting and fishing trips every year.

Not a Steelers fan, but Tomlin gets the nod. He probably had the intuition to go out on his terms. Good work Coach.

Pure class from the Steelers and from Tomlin.

Tomlin and Bill Cowher as hosts of a pregame show.

He was highly respected...and still quite young...when he left the Vikings years ago. My impression was he was far more cerebral and wise than his public words and actions portrayed. The reverence players have for him speaks volumes. He's still only 53 years old, but hes earned the right to make his choices.

A slightly more cynical person like myself might suspect that the team asked him to step down, so they didn't have to fire him and ruined their reputation for not firing head coaches.

I think this is how it went down, but Tomlin earned that.

This doesn't fit what the Rooney family does. And I think Tomlin has more pride and character to go along with it. Maybe more details will come out, but I bet Tomlin was considering this last year. mtmuley

Yeah, last few comments make sense.
Graceful exit.

I know teams think they should win the Super Bowl every year, but I doubt the Steelers or Ravens will find a better coach than what they had.
