No, because we've wanted Tomlin fired FOR YEARS. He's arguably not a better coach than Marvin Lewis.
Ironically, Tomlin is closing in on Lewis' record of playoff futility with 6 straight losses (Lewis had 8). More ironically, the record would already be Tomlin's alone (10!!!!!) if not for CIN having a historic meltdown to give the game away. Even more mindblowing is how incredibly smacked they got in those last 6 - 66-0 after the first quarter, and trailing an average of like 17 before scoring their first point.
The only reason Tomlin is still coaching this team - or the main reason and why the press loves him - is because he inherited a LOADED roster and coaching staff from Cowher and got carried to a SB despite his efforts to turtle away a win. But then he got his wish a few years later when he took the more experienced, healthier and talented team to the SB and made the bizarre decision to "ease into the game" and, in what has become a trend, got boat raced.
Mike McCarthy has nearly an identical resume. Nobody talks about how great he is, much less going into the HOF. He's been fired twice. Why do you suppose Tomlin hasn't been fired even once?
