Mike Tomlin steps down!

[Henry VIII]

Wow..after 19 seasons!

[Jack85Youngblood]

McVay now the second longest tenured head coach behind Andy Reid. Incredible

[ocram23]

who would have thought in the same year that Tomlin and Harbaugh would be out

[NorCal RF]

I’m not surprised at all………….

[Henry VIII]

The old Guard is all but gone..Reid, Harbaugh bros..then Payton and Bowles are in their 60's

[Rampager66]

Props for 19 years, No losing seasons! 2? SB's..
TV here he comes!

[STL Woody]

Didn’t have Harbaugh or Tomlin on my bingo card.

[RonMac]

Good solid old school HC - needs a pump up on his O approach but he will establish a tough no nonsense culture if that is on your shopping list.

[UtahRam]

Let's hire him to coach our special teams.

HOF ?

[STL Woody]

I think he will take some time off. Maybe TV. I wish McVay could hire him as some type of consultant.

Is "step down" code for the maintenance staff is removing your name from your private parking space. My guess it was one of those conversations with leadership that starts out with "are you happy here." I am not surprised by this move. Tomlin is a good coach but could not get them over the top year after year..

Their first request too and fits the age profile. Interesting

I disagree. I think this was 100% his decision. They are very loyal to coaches there.

And we can get another 3rd round pick for the minority coach Rule.

STL Woody. Interesting, did not know that. I assumed even with winning seasons but no superbowl, leadership was tired and wanted to move in different direction. For Tomlin his future is bright, depending if he still has interest. Could you see Tomlin as a Raider?

[DelMar]

Owner Steve Bisciotti, Not a guy id like to work or play for, but def says it how it is...

To me, this why you have a PR team, owners I dont think should do interviews... all they do is stir up trouble (See Jerry's world and his stupid weekly radios show)

When I see Press conferences like this, it makes me even more proud of Kronk... as he just is the man behind the man, behind the man..

Also, who wants to tell me Steve here is not connected to the mafia.... the way he talks, acts and dresses.... looks like the new Godfather movie clip

[DelMar]

Prob the most gangster words ever spoken by an owner, maybe ever... LOL

Yes, I think he's got a real good chance.

The only reason I took a look at this thread was to see which one of you was going to suggest that Tomlin replace McVay. I know you were only joking, but so far you're the closest.

I think Harbaugh is #1 Tomlin #2 for choice of places to go. I think both of these men have the luxury of only taking the absolute right situation or just walking away. To answer your question I humbly have no answer. With TB12 in Vegas that may be a sweet deal or not.

Harbaugh is going to the Giants. Interesting not sure I would have gone there
