wdm1219inpenna Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Personally I find all this false "news" and hype of new head coaches to be unnecessary. Seems 9 out of 10 times all this "big" news ends in failure anyway.They made a big deal about Art Shell coming back, that was a bust.Nick Saban, bust.Just gets very tedious hearing all these "rumors" to be true, only to later hear someone say "That is not yet official". It's Dewey Defeats Truman all over again, all the time, and frankly the media makes a much bigger deal over these head coaches than is necessary, especially when 9 times out of 10 they end up failing, quitting, or being fired even before the ink is dry on their contracts, which I don't understand why they even bother having contracts since nobody ever adheres to them.

Fred T. Jane Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Not so fast with Tomlin in PittsburghTomlin: Report tapping him as Steelers coach 'untrue'O RLY?http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2732197Sources: Steelers set to name Vikes' Tomlin as coachESPN.com news servicesPITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers plan to name Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin as their new head coach, ESPN's Chris Mortensen confirmed Saturday night.Sources told Mortensen that the team would announce Tomlin as coach either Sunday or Monday. Tomlin would become only the third Steelers coach in 38 years, and the first black head coach in their 74-year history.Tomlin, a former Tampa Bay assistant, has been the coordinator for just one season under Brad Childress in Minnesota. Before that, he was a Buccaneers' secondary coach, a five-year spell that included installation of the teams' trademark "Tampa-2" scheme. He was an assistant coach in the collegiate ranks from 1995 to 2000.Sports Illustrated's Web site, SI.com, first reported that Pittsburgh had decided on Tomlin earlier Saturday. Steelers owner Dan Rooney told The Associated Press he had no comment. Team president Art Rooney II, leaving the team's practice complex Saturday, said he had nothing to say.A person with knowledge of the search denied Tomlin has been hired, telling the AP that not only has the job not been offered but there have been no contract negotiations. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Steelers do not want details of the search made public until they have made their choice.Tomlin and Grimm, the Steelers' offensive line coach and only remaining in-house candidate, both had their second interviews earlier this week. The Steelers couldn't talk to Rivera again until the Bears are eliminated from the playoffs. Chicago plays New Orleans in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.The Steelers' diligence in finding Cowher's successor cost them offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, a move that leaves Grimm as the possible front-runner.Whisenhunt, one of the NFL's top offensive coaches, took the Arizona Cardinals' job Sunday rather than waiting to see if he would be promoted by Pittsburgh. He will be officially introduced by the Cardinals at a news conference Tuesday.While Whisenhunt was widely considered around the NFL to be Cowher's heir apparent, the Steelers gave no such indication after Cowher resigned Jan. 5. Also, they apparently didn't make a counteroffer to persuade Whisenhunt to stay.Grimm also interviewed with the Cardinals, but unlike Whisenhunt, didn't get a second interview.Tomlin had an excellent interview with the Steelers and, like Cowher in 1992, is an on-the-rise candidate despite being only 34 and having minimal experience as an NFL coordinator. Tomlin took over the Vikings' defense this season.Whisenhunt may take quarterbacks coach Mark Whipple with him as offensive coordinator, meaning the two coaches who have closely worked with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger the last three seasons would be gone.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

NJTank Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Well looks like We knew Tomlin was going to get the job before he knew it himself. Weird Meanwhile Fax you resume to Al Davis, nobody seems to want that job, and he may get desperate enough to hire the flashiest resume. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 If Tomlin is the new Stillers HC, that just sucks major Balls.If its true, congrats Pittsburgh on a good hire, I liked Tomlin a lot this past year for the Vikes. I only wish we would get rid of Childress and promote Tomlin. Oh well, good luck Mike. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 When I heard Mort on ESPN Radio, he credited the story to Mike Silver of SI.com...BUT within it Mort even said that the story said that the announcement would come on Monday or Tuesday. I will assume that Dan Rooney may even change his mind. One thing which may have hurt Russ Grimm was when he interviered with the Bears three years ago, he kept refering to the McCaskey family, who owns the team as the "McClaskey family" during his interview when Lovie Smith got the job. Know who you are talking to, my friend. Especially the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 ESPN is still saying its Tomlin, this is why I dont believe a new coach is hired until the press conference is set. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitedawg22 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Lost in the Tomlin/Grimm controversy is the fact that Cam Cameron went from being fired by that perennial football powerhouse, University of Indiana, to one of the premier head coaching jobs in the NFL in 5 years. But of course it wasn't Tomlinson and Rivers that made him look good... oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .
