Mike Tomlin as new Saints HC

Cmon… DA needs 5 or 6 more years to develop into Lombardi. I’ll be wearing my Derek Carr panties and cheering on my Saints until then.

I don't know what our future drafts picks are for 2025 & 2026, but we may be able to do something similar for compensation as we did for CSP.

What are ya'lls thoughts?

If Pittsburg does decide to move on from Tomlin he'd essentially be a free agent and wouldn't cost us any draft picks. Our difference with Payton was his leaving was his idea so we were able to retain his rights.

That said, I'd be all in on Tomlin.

Oh, and welcome back!

This is what I have been thinking all along. I think all of this angst about wanting Allen gone from some fans is wasted energy. What's going to happen will happen and what we do with the remainder of this season should have no effect.

You need to be the last person in the building to worry about wasted energy. DA needed to be gone LAST FREAKING YEAR.

I think we will be outbit for Tomlin's service full-stop if it were to come to it. And that's fine as I might rather have a fresher younger coaching prospect.

Tomlin will not come cheap, he still has a year left on his contract and the Steelers would likely leverage that for some draft picks.

They can't leverage anything if they let him go. When a coach is fired the team forfeits any rights. Payton quit on his own so the Saints retained his rights. I just can't see any scenario where Tomlin would willingly walk away from the Steelers job.

Coaches get let go all the time and can go anywhere they want right away. I would imagine the vast majority coaches have time left on their contracts when cut loose.

Tomlin has lost the Steelers and some players aren't even trying anymore. I'm not sure that he's the guy.

Kinda noticed that with their young talented receiver Pickens.

Canada was holding that offense back but they still have other issues & have already benched their backup (Trubisky) QB.
