Steelers are a close-the-vest team, but eventually the real story will come out….hopefully just a difference of opinion and not something health-related or otherwise…..

Tomlin is a jerk

I guess it was too much work to add that he was replaced by Amos Jones.

As a 49er fan I can tell you that the Steelers are doing themselves a favor. This guy is the worst. The Steelers were in the bottom half of the league for every major special teams statistic so I’m more surprised it took them this long.

If this guy had found out about ‘One Drop’ two weeks ago, the other coaches may not have voted him off the island.

Im surprised to say the least but for the other reason, which is the Steelers special teams play the last 5 yrs has been subpar IMO. so here is my take on the whole thing. Tomlin has decided to help save some money to resign Mike Wallace to a longterm deal, he has decided to stop being so much of a delegator and take ove the special teams duties himself, which is how he started in coaching and from what I understand was very good so maybe this is a good thing. stay tuned..

This sounds very un-Steeler-like.

That being said, paging RON ZOOK, paging RON ZOOK! He’s available and I think he’s done the job before.

Rumor has it he was trying to bring back the drop kick for all FGs and EPs.

Agreed – this is highly unusual. Something out of the ordinary must have gone down for this to happen. The timing is just way too odd.

Odd, too be fair he has Shaun Suisham as his kicker, that will make any special teams coach look bad.

I do not know much about coach Haley, however I can’t remember many remarks of support or positive examples regarding his popularity while at KC and/or during his short tenure with The Steelers. The tones/patterns seem to be similar, regardless the poster. What gives with this guy? How can anyone play for this coach, and how can he motivate grown men on a daily basis? Sounds as though having him around would precipitate mutinies on a regardless his assignment or geographical location team-wise.

I feel bad for the guy, almost three weeks into training camp and they are letting him go? Either he did something real bad to warrant the firing or the GM for the Steelers is a moron. Letting a key part of your coaching staff go this soon before the start of the regular season is crazy, for the sake of the Steelers Organization I hope he has a plan.

Very strange. Couldn’t get along with Todd Haley?

I would say Haley had something to do with it.

I’m sure the Steelers will say he retired.
