If you get rid of Tomlin, the next guy will have to win with his guys, too.

That's an upgrade - I'll take it because Tomlin isn't winning with "his guys".

Happens to just about every coach eventually, I suppose. Not sure if this is the time, but it always happens eventually.

Why isn't it Colbert's team?

If anyone listened closely to the Where Art2 Thou interviews he conducted with most of the media last week (except Madden), he mentioned in more than one interview that he talks with Tomlin and Colbert DAILY.

I think a lot of people on this site think Colbert and or Tomlin run this show while Where Art2 Thou sits in his little box like a good little owner. I am guessing that’s very wrong and if we all had a peak into this organization, we would all be blown away by how much football influence Pass Down Artie really has.

He seems like a kind, patient, humble and loyal man - no doubt a good man, and I am certain I have been over the top in criticizing him as much as I do. I can only blame those moments on frustration and envy.

But I believe there is a balance needed on this team and Art2 is off-kilter. I don’t think he thinks this way, but he has a max 3 year window with Ben. I just wish the man would get out his comfort zone and try to win now.

He'd make a great baseball commissioner, huh?

You don’t think Dan Rooney spoke daily with his GMs and coaches?

That’s reading quite a lot into one statement.

I don’t the issue is over-involvement from Art II.

I think the issue is a stale point of view in the football minds of the team.

88 has it in for Art II like he does MLB.

I’m not fond of Art II either simply because I don’t think he knows what he doesn’t know, plus I think he cares way too much what the Shadyside Bistro crowd thinks of his team’s image.

But I’m not going to read more into him speaking with GM and coach every day other than that he speaks with GM and coach every day.

Who is MLB? Bryant?

Huh? I am saying they probably talk a lot and that he is involved in more football team decisions than many realize. If you like a conservative approach than Art2 is your guy. Stale is an understatement- he needs to think out of the box.
