Mike Tomlin is out as coach of the Steelers.
But is it a firing?
“After much thought and reflection, I have decided to step down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Tomlin said in a statement. “This organization has been a huge part of my life for many years, and it has been an absolute honor to lead this team. I am deeply grateful to Art Rooney II and the late Ambassador Rooney for their trust and support. I am also thankful to the players who gave everything they had every day, and to the coaches and staff whose commitment and dedication made this journey so meaningful…”
This sure sounds like a resignation, not a firing. But there was a lot of speculation around the Steelers: many people expressed a belief that the team had grown stagnent under Tomlin, and there might be a change coming.
Nineteen years, never a losing season. But seven straight playoff losses, including to the Texans last night.

In other news, offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin are out at the worthless LA Chargers.
Sounds like a good start. Now, if they would just shut down the team, ban the players from the NFL for life, burn the stadium, practice facilities, and offices, plow the rubble into the earth, sow the ground with salt, and drive the players and staff before us while we listen to the lamentations of their women, I’d be well on my way to happy.
