Where Does Mike Tomlin’s USC “Never” Rank on the All-Time List of Coach Rants? | The Rich Eisen Show

[@edalder2000]

I have been a Steelers fan as long as I can remember. Tomlin has always been concise and you always know what he is saying. It's an all timer because I can't remember the last time that Tomlin got angry in public.

[@Vic-Vega]

Tomlin gets "angry" in public practically every week during the season, wtf u talking ABOOT? 😆

[@michaelr3583]

@@Vic-Vega that time he played New England and he said that they rigged their headsets to hear the radio broadcast so they couldnt communicate.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

@@Vic-Vega no kidding, the man's default facial expression is, "I'm one second away from chewing your face off." That doesn't bother me at all, and I respect him in general (despite hating the Steelers lol).... but to say you've never seen him angry is just silly.

[@ScootsFromNewCastle]

[@locthiese]

EXACTLY..!!!!! That’s the part Eisen and them are neglecting to highlight

[@BarLadyy]

The level of breakdown they went through was legendary. I will just say that Coach Tomlin spoke for a lot of us who deal with nonsense that we should never hear and are forced to discuss once we do. I am coach Tomlin. Coach Tomlin is me. Especially in these zoom meetings I endure. Side Note: anybody who knows Carson Palmer may not want to tell him anything they don’t want to be made public….is all I’m saying.

I'm sittin here racking my brain. All the mighty empires have fallen. Celtics, Lakers, patriots, red Sox, Yankees, cardinals. Ur right. The steelers have been the most stable over time

[@PeterSedesse]

@@vershawnsea9219 I think this is his 14yr as a head coach and hasn't had a losing season yet. He is very likely to be one of the top 10 winningest coaches in NFL history and should be able to catch Chuck Noll to become the Steelers coach with the most wins.

[@user-nc1wu2nm3i]

[@harlequin75]

Nothing is better than the late Dennis Green’s and Herman Edwards’ rants.

[@stingrey1571]

Actually my all time favorite coach post game press conference was a women’s college basketball coach. He stormed into the room complaining how his team couldn’t get any fouls, we’re out rebounded, and couldn’t finish down low. Then took a breath and said,”now let talk about that win.”

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

For pure entertainment, I don't think anyone will beat TB coach John McCay's many post-game gems. Not exactly rants so much as just killer deadpan one liners... "We couldn't tackle, but we made up for it by not blocking" ... "What do you think about your team's execution? " "I'm in favor of it." ... "Can't stop the pass or the run. Otherwise, we're in great shape."... all delivered just as calm as could be. If that stuff doesn't make you laugh, check your pulse.

Idk to me it’s the ending line before he leaves, just showing how baseless the speculation was and it’s just media generating rumors to try and get clicks and how insulted he was by the insinuation he even wanted to leave that made it great. Why are they picking him, they think he wants to leave? Why not Andy Reid? He’s been with the Steelers for years, they think he just wants to jump ship now Big Ben is old?

[@jjsteel43]

Carson mentioned Ben being old. If Carson just said Tomlin was in the mix, that's one thing but he mentioned Ben is coming to the end. It may be difficult for Tomlin and he may not want to start over with the Steelers and may want a change. Tomlin will have a change with the steelers but dealing with that change is much better and easier than dealing with the change of going to college football from the NFL. I highly doubt Tomlin wants that huge change going to college football
