All the steelers fans I know want Tomlin gone 10 years ago already.

Pittsburgh Steelers Wasted One of the NFL's Most Talented Trios of All Time

The Killer B's wasted a remarkable opportunity to make history, as the Steelers won just three playoff games and made just one AFC Championship Game during the six years Ben, Brown and Bell were together.

Roethlisberger, Bell and Brown formed one of the most talented, accomplished quarterback-running back-wide receiver trios in NFL history, and certainly the most famous one since the Dallas Cowboys' "triplets" from the 1990s.

That Troy Aikman/Emmitt Smith/Michael Irvin attack won three Super Bowls in a four-year span. In 10 seasons together, they earned a combined 17 Pro Bowl nods and were first-team All-Pros on a combined five occasions.

In just six seasons together, Roethlisberger, Bell and Brown earned a combined 13 Pro Bowl nods and were first-team All-Pros on a combined six occasions.

In other words, excluding team accolades, an argument could be made that this trio was actually more accomplished than the legendary Dallas grouping.

To find a QB-RB-WR trio with combined individual accolades that trump those belonging to Ben, Bell and Brown, you've gotta jump back nearly another decade for the Joe Montana-Roger Craig-Jerry Rice unit from the 1985-1990 San Francisco 49ers.

That gang also spent exactly six seasons together, it also earned exactly 13 Pro Bowl nods, but Montana, Craig and Rice combined for nine All-Pro honors. They also teamed up for two Super Bowl wins.

Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed made a combined 16 Pro Bowls over a nine-year span, but they combined for only three All-Pro nods. Still, that Buffalo Bills team won a record four consecutive conference title games between 1990 and 1993.

Ironically, few HC have a record that matches his. Among active coaches with over 100 games as HC, only Belichick has a higher W/L ratio.
If you count all current HC, you add McVay, La Fleur, and Stefanski, and that's it (I think).

I believe that irony is not lost on ownership. As much shit as Tomlin gets, somehow he has worth. Count me as a solid Tomlin supporter. The grass is not greener beyond the fence.

I would take Tomlin in a heartbeat. No questions asked.
