Tomlin is a top 3-5 coach in the league. Of course I would want him. That being said we all know McDaniel is coming back
Coaching Question, Tomlin-Mcdummy

Exactly -- I agree he is a top 3 - 5 coach in the league, or somewhere in this mix:
Reid
Harbaugh
McVay
Harbaugh
Tomlin
Shanahan
Campbell

Don't forget Sean Payton
As a tribute to someone dearly departed (banned). Our franchise would be RONG if they didn’t make a move for Tomlin.
Regarding you, “totally finding something else to do on Sundays next year”….can we expedite that to this year?
joking brother. Someone needs to have some humor after a victory.

I'm finding it rather ironic that five of these seven supposedly 'elite' NFL head coaches are coming off losses in their most recent games.
If the playoffs were to start next weekend, only four of these seven would be coaching in them.
I do not find it ironic that you are judging coaches in a vacuum.
Yeah I wanted to add him to the list. I agree. List is done now tho.
I'll take LaFleur over a couple of those guys.

Oh yes we can have lots of no nonsense and discipline while going 9-8 every year like they do now. Excellent idea. What in the fk has tomlin done without roethlisburger? I dont care if the dolphins ever win another game, i hope ross extends mcdaniel again and gives him tua money so you guys are stuck squirming in your booster seat every sunday.

He hasn't won a playoff game since the 2017 season. He's done nothing without Big Ben.
If we want someone to come in and be a hard assed disciplinarian who guarantees you pick in the 15-20 range each year then he's your man.

Can think of loads straight off the top of my head I'd have before him. Reid, McVay, LaFleur, both Harbaugh's, Payton, Shannahan etc. Nowhere near top 3-5 for me.

Didn't we pass on Tomlin before because he was too "hip hop?"

I'm already not watching, but if McDaniel survives to coach this team next season, which he is totally on track to do, he has at least been given another chance. Note that I do not say he has earned it. Regardless of that, adversities such as this one, with the QB and the loss of the GM, can sometimes summon growth in a HC who has had to be accountable for his team's performance.
This team, and especially its fanbase, passes on everyone. It passed on Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, Vrabel, etc. Specifically, I'm referring to people on this forum who poo-pooed big time at the idea of Carroll when he was returning to the NFL. There were even people in this fanbase clamoring for Jack McDaniels over anyone with any sort of track record.Didn't we pass on Tomlin before because he was too "hip hop?"

We haven't hired an actual football head coach in forever.

IMO Tomlin is like the Tua of HCs - he needs everything around him to be "perfect" for him to be effective. But on his own, he is not a difference maker. Those kind of "situations" are absolutely NOT sustainable. More and more the NFL is like a grab bag every year -- and you need a HC who can weave a coherent whole from assorted material. McD may be better at that than Tomlin -- and I'm not a McD fan at this point.
