I think Tomlin would KILL it in college. That said, who wants to go from the Steelers, coaching men, to college where you have to spend 360 days a year begging 17 year old kids to pick your school? Screw that.
because.....mountains of cash.....
@@odieonekaraoke lol tomlin makes 8 mil per year with the stillers. Usc paid their last coach 4.5 mil per year. Tomlin also has job security leagues ahead of the USC job. No contest. Thats why tomlin treated this as the low level garbo rumor that it is
@@nothanksguy Who cares what they paid their last coach? If they hired Tomlin, they'd be paying him 10 million a year. Jimbo and Saban type money. I don't even remember the last coach. Wasn't Sarkisian, was it? Doesn't matter, wasn't a name like Tomlin. They'd give him a Jimbo like 10/100 type deal and he'd get them back to the CFP.
Not saying he should've left, but they wouldn't ask him to take a pay cut. I mean....cmon...
I agree.
👍👍👍👍
Poor Carson. This is now the second time a Steeler has totally taken his legs out.
Hshaha
to soon
I love it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 for the win
This is too funny 😂 😂
Tomlin will be HC of the Steelers until he is ready to step down like Cowher did. He is HC of the most loyal organization in the NFL to HC's.
Facts
Thank U for clarifying the obvious to non competent casual Steelers haters or observers. Tomlin will coach in Pittsburgh until he retires and starts coaching highschool for fun. USC is not a relevant football program. Please stop pretending because we can see what USC is all about. Very little. It's an insult and a major distraction to even bother him with this paltry trash. He showed U just as much in the interview. He was pissed and I don't blame him.
It's why they're always in the playoff mix
@@thegrandarchitect1 USC is not relevant? That is just insane. They're just not good right NOW...but this is like saying 'Bama wasn't relevant before Saban. That's one of the top 5 programs in the country. A good coach who can recruit and just keep those kids in state would make them relevant. Once they get back to being a top 20 team and start getting out of state kids sprinkled in, they'll again be dominant.
And I give zero fucks about SC and obviously I think the Steelers are a better job. Maybe the best job in all of Football, so not arguing that part, but schools like USC, 'Bama, Texas.
..the blue bloods, they're always a "relevant" job or program. Plus the obvious ones like OSU, OK, GA.
But put Tomlin at USC and they're in the CFP in 5years.
@@scourge8097 It's easily the best job in all of football. Quite possibly in all of U.S. professional sports.
USC's last national title was nearly 20 years ago. In the past decade, they've won their conference exactly one time. It's a completely irrelevant program. It's their brand that's relevant, but given enough time, that won't be relevant either unless they turn things around. I can see why they'd want a guy like Tomlin, but the fact of the matter is he's way above that job.
I love the way he addressed it.
& He's right. Lol. Ridiculous.
It's not ridiculous...it's USC, but I WOULD love how he addressed it if he were the Packers coach(I do love the way he DID answer as it is).
But his name was thrown out there. It's not that crazy. Tomlin would have USC dominant in a couple years...not that he should, but IF he choose to. The way people respect him AND the way he can communicate...he'd have the top classes year after year with that Socal talent base.
@@scourge8097 Dude....just shut up man...not happening.
@@gregd6706 Well...with a well reasoned and articulate argument like that, how could I POSSIBLY disagree...LOL...douche bag.
@@scourge8097 It is ridiculous. He would be terrible there.
@@scourge8097 Tail between your legs?
When you’re the Steelers coach, you coach the Steelers until you don’t want to.
At usc, you’re coaching until you get fired.
Yeah, but part of that is they've just been smart and hired three great coaches in succession. It's like saying being the Packers QB is the safest job. Now Pittsburgh is so well run they don't buckle to reactionary fans, but they've also just had 3 great coaches.
@@scourge8097 exactly you put this much better
Sting Rey Correction.........in COLLEGE, you are coaching until you get fired. Not just a USC thing.
@@gunner-qf9eh Not just a college thing either. Same in the NFL. Green Bay is similar to Pittsburgh in that they like continuity. Lafleur will probably be there until he wants to leave or until he starts skipping meetings for massages like McCarthy, but they're all kinds different from Pitt. I guess Baltimore would be the closest comp, but in order to have coaches last that long, you need front offices constantly drafting talent.
But you are right. LSU won a Natty 2 years ago...and now their coach is getting fired. You don't get much of a grace period.
You know his team loved this.
A head coach needs to be a great communicator. I have literally never listened to Mike Tomlin speak and say "what did he mean by that?" Precision of speech.
as someone who literally watches ever postgame, mike tomlin is a snake oil salesman and he is constantly saying things that don’t make sense, so i don’t know what you have been watching.
here’s a great quote from a few weeks ago with absolutely zero “precision”
“chunks eliminate a lotta execution as we say in the coaching game and by that i mean if your not playing clean splash plays or chunks of real estate age you so we’re not playing clean enough and we’re not getting enough chunks to offset it and that’s why we’re having the conversation that we are having”
@@pius_11 What about this quote is unclear to you?
@@BG-bx4ey it’s the definition of snake oil. saying a whole lot of words to say nothing and using invented abstract terminology to convey intelligence. he literally could have said “we needed to make big plays to make up for our lack of execution.” but he said it in a way that even he felt he had to explain back to the audience. “great communicators” can convey their message in as few words as possible with great effectiveness.
Tomlin status in Pittsburgh just jumped exponentially after that interview
The Rooneys may be writing up a lifetime contract for Tomlin after that
@@TheNightOwl11683 🤣🤣💯
i’m a cowboys fan, but i LOVE mike tomlin. dude is cool af.
he rocks aviators better than anyone.
I love tomlin and am so thankful he’s a part of the Steelers
About time you fans appreciate him.
he is mad because it is direspectful.
I swear. I’d be pissed
@@zachraymond7341 I don’t get why he is so mad?
@@npierce14 cuz college jobs are garbage compared to nfl, and he thinks it’s disrespectful that he’s being asked this when other top coaches aren’t. Idk if it’s justified or not, but that’s his reasoning
@@seanofthedead3076 oooohhhhh that’ makes a lot of sense he has a point then
Tomlin answer is actually 40 second long exactly... priceless..How to shoot down in flame a potential distraction in the time given for snapping the ball... Priceless !!
Damn that’s so dope lol
The way Tomlin got up at the end makes me laugh EVERY time I see it!😂 I’m not even sure why it’s so funny to me.
Has anyone else had that reaction?
As a Steelers fan, I loved that response from Tomlin, I've been a supporter of him since I started watching, he was clearly pissed about that even being a question, he stoked a fire in his team by basically saying he's loyal to Pittsburgh in that answer, love it
Yeah, they finished 9-8 or 9-7-1. I really can't remember
He is one of the best coaches doing it for one of the best organizations in football. Why would he want to go coach some random kids? Asking for it is disrespectful.
Man I hope someday I'm disrespected with a job offer worth millions
Disrespect me like that.
I assume Ivan means it’s disrespectful to question mike tomlin’s loyalty to his team
How? You are sad as Hell if you think asking a guy if he wants a raise is disrespecrful
@@BG-bx4ey its not a raise, its a demotion.
And by the way, we love you Coach Tomlin! (the entire Steeler Nation)
I actually believe him, unlike most coaches answering questions about other coaching jobs.
Mike tomlin is underrated. Hes been head coach since 2007 and never had a losing season, that says a lot when you coach in the NFL.
His definitely not overrated, he's adequately r... nah he's underrated, he underrated
He is definitely good but it helps to have a franchise qb the whole time also. We will learn a lot these next few seasons about him. Needs to find the next great QB. He will always have cowhers qb hanging over him
Mike Tomlin will likely be in the NFL hall of fame one day. What does that mean? It means that he's NOT underrated. He's one of the most respected people in the NFL and sports.
@@mattyb1030 I'm a browns fan but Tomlin did a hell of a job when his franchise QB went down for the whole year...winning with Rudolph and Hodges is no easy task.
Haters be damned! THAT is a Steelers head coach
What Haters? You sadass...
@@BG-bx4ey the active and vocal group of people that want Tomlin fired every year? You dumbass....
I love the last statement and walk out 🤣
The Steelers have always been very patient and pick candidates wisely. They aren't looking for the next Patriots coordinator or the next hot coordinator. They want excellent communicators and good teachers and most of all effective motivators. Teams go through so many head coaches and even winning a Super Bowl is not enough. But Tomlin has stayed and delivered results year after year. Wish other franchises had this type of thinking.
It feels like USC threw out Tomlins name just so they can say they considered a black coach and ran a “diverse” hiring search.
I understand Tomlin. If I was him, I would would be thinking, I have never done anything or shown any signs of me wanting to leave the steelers and coach college football but these analysts asking me this question are believing rumors from other people who have nothing to do with me. This is a joke.
EXACTLY.....i believe thats why he went off too and rightfully so no one is asking bill that question
Ryan Clark and Doug Waley were also talking about Tomlin being HC at LSU so that was 3 people putting rumors out there regarding Tomlin
Ryan Clark literally said and emphasized that he didn’t talk to anybody at lsu or anybody in Pittsburgh. That was more like wishful thinking. He did play for lsu
tomlin is the steeler head coach until he no longer wishes to be, and if you don't have the respect for him to think that...your wrong. He should be treated like Bill to the Patriots at this point.
Lol
Yeah, when Tomlin wins 6 or so more superbowls then he can be treated like patriots and Bill...
@@pinrod1 give ‘em Tom Brady and he would lol
Would love to hear the next conversation between Palmer and Tomlin.
Bet it is about 40 seconds long as well .. And very much one sided.🤣
Mike Tomlin is my favorite NFL coach. He is a perfect fit for Pittsburgh.
I’ve heard the same thing about Tomlin being highly coveted as a broadcaster should he ever be interested in doing that. Media people who have been around him say that he could be Romo level good.
People who have to know both defensive and offensive schemes would make good broadcasters, head coaches and QB's. That added great tag goes to those two kinds with a great personality. I see him as the too-honest and sarcastic Romo broadcaster. Ha ha. I would love to see that.
@@EXG21 in candid situations he’s supposedly way different than his press conference persona. Super funny and laid back.
Yup hes my coach of my Steelers. I hope he coaches the Steelers for 30 more years
Funny, these are my Steelers too and a bunch of us want him to take a hike, like yesterday
@@odieonekaraoke , How's that working for you?👍
@@aholmes74ah let's see 5 years since our last playoff win. Don't see any happening any time soon. Haven't seen a Super Bowl since 2010. 3 playoff wins total since that Super Bowl. It's going down hill from here considering there isn't a good quarterback in next years draft. It's only a very short matter of time.
@@odieonekaraoke maybe his loyalty to big Ben or a few other players might of cost us but that's what makes him a players coach. He will always be the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers as long as he wants the job. Maybe fair weather fans like you need to take a hike not coach T
Have a nice day
PEACE...The Steelers have had 3 coaches and 9 losing seasons in the last 52 seasons. Let that sink in.
I had to rewatch this, just to remind myself that there actually are celebrities who mean what they say.
I just love Coach.
I think he just made me a Steelers fan 🤣💯
Classic response mike drop.
Like interviewing a fighter before a fight we got the browns this week I sure hope that’s the energy in the locker room I might keep some hope for a strong finish
I loved this video so much. Well said and well covered.
Although Tomlin does get a rough ride from some sections of Steeler nation most of us love him. He's one hell of a communicator.
The standard is the standard.
I love him. Win or lose is fine with me tbh. Things happen and coaches sometimes lose. But loyalty means something
Well, at least we don't have to put up with that sickening trolling Gruden would do at every job opening..the guy was barely above .500 as a coach.. slightly above mediocre Jeff Fisher, mister 8-8
Man I love Tomlin he loves what he does it's not work to him.
Tomlin is definitely an excellent coach, but he takes questions wrong sometimes. Like the questions are racial cutdowns. For someone so successful, it’s strange how insecure he gets. I don’t think it takes away his success at all. I just would have guessed that he would blow off idiotic questions. Andy Reid gets asked many ridiculous questions also. I have seen it. Tomlin is getting asked idiotic questions because he is the head coach of an NFL team. NFL is extremely popular and “some” of the media is tabloidish. Go on RUclips here. Coaches across the racial spectrum get ask insanely ridiculous questions.
"dad is mad" vibes
Pop for the spurs might be the only contender for most stable job in pro sports
Excellent comment.
Pop is stable because he’s Pop. Tomlin’s is stable because it’s the Steelers. The Rooney family does not fire coaches who have not lost the team.
@@stevedunne1571 Tomlin has literally never had a losing season while both Nolle and Cowher did, it’s about Tomlin not the team.
@@Muss67, the Rooneys have stated that they will not let a coach go unless he loses the team (not a game or season). They hire well, and give coaches what they need to succeed. If Noll and Cowher had losing seasons and didn’t get canned (Noll’s first was fairly horrific), then it’s the ownership that’s critically important.
I have been a Steelers since I could crawl and that is exactly how I expected Tomlin to answer that.
He won a Super Bowl. Why would he want to go rebuild a college program with an unrealistic, impatient fanbase?
When he said are they asking Sean Payton about that or Andy Reid about that. I don't think rich got the hidden meaning behind that statement
either that or he didnt feel comfortable bringing it up, but i agree with you though and it's gotten passed over in all the coverage of this
Rich totally missed it. I'm not shocked he missed it though
So Tomlin tried to turn someone saying they’d hire him into a racism thing. That’s a wanker nothing more. Racists see racism everywhere.
@@troystaunton254 Racist like you, but more competent, run the NFL and own the Media. Tomlin got his position because of the fight against people like you who see racism and say nothing about it.
Rich got it but he excused the question becuse he knew the source wasn't ill-intended. Remember, Tomlin didn't know the source, and we don't know of a single black NFL head coach that was recycled back into head coaching, whereas white coaches are recycled all the time. All Tomlin knew was there are two other great coaches that are doing worse than him and they weren't asked that question by a white person. When a white person asks a black person a question like that, they mean that a black person no good. Glad Tomlin stood up for himself and his organization.
Wonder which reporter asked the question. He probably left out the back door…
Carson Palmer, ex Bengal and Trojan trolling an old rival?
That's exactly what they were doing. Carson Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. Creating a distraction for Tomlin to address. He just didn't know that Tomlin was going to destroy the distraction so quickly.
No Carson Palmer knows that his alma mater USC would LOVE to hire Tomlin . I enjoyed the way Tomlin smacked down the absurd rumor perfectly.
Let's Go Brandon!!
BIG Shout out to Mike Tomlin!!! I would tell almost anyone DON'T EVER take a Head Coach of Football at any SEC school besides Alabama! Think about it LSU just let Ed Orgeron go less than 2 year's after having 1 of the best college football teams EVER! Winning a National Championship with Joe Burrow having the Greatest QB season ever at a Division 1 level! Auburn fired Gene Chizik 2 years after winning a National Title, they also fired Gus Malzahn & he had a Very Good record!!!🤦🏽🤷🏽
As a Steeler fan from Fayette County, my coach is a BOSS! ✊🏾
That is what you call a STEAMROLL 😭😭😭
It's disrespectful to even suppose that Mike Tomlin would be interested in coaching at USC. Why him and not all of the other NFL coaches? Ridiculous. I support his response 100%.
If Tomlin as an Alum I would understand. He is from DMV area...Why would he ever go out to LA for college job? This sort of question should just put in private first. So you don't have moment like this....
I heard that the USC job offer was associated with Urban Meyer.
So that means Sean Payton and Andy Reid are the new frontrunners for the LSU job right?
We don't want either of them... or Tomlin...
Sean Peyton win a super bowl by injuring the other teams QB, he's not a top notch coach.....Andy is not chasing 18 year olds
Bravo to Tomlin. Noticed that he mentioned other long tenured coaches to prove the ridiculousness.
The BEST Head Coach in the NFL!!🏈
USC is... uh...
...well, it ain't the Stillers.
Why would he go anywhere? He gets to coach where Al Bundy played, granted it's no Polk High, so he didn't get to coach him throwing 4TDs in one game, but it's still nice.
Tomlin is the standard
"Never say 'never'...But NEVER."
Coach Tomlin would be great at USC if the thing in Pittsburgh dose'nt work out. lmao
I love the "College Football can't afford me".
And he's only 50 and 16yrs as head coach
That's my coach.
Theres not a booster big enough lol
I love when Rich makes an assessment that we all thought about and he acts like it’s a special insight. Lol
Mike Tomlin has 2 ring as 1 as HC one as a Defensive Backs coach under Jon Gruden but was actually hired to Dungys Buc staff not by Gruden. They picked of 3 passes in the Buccaneers SB win in 02.
Mike Tomlin is just the best
While Broncos, WFT, Dolphins, Panthers, Steelers, Saints.. (needy of a QB), Only Deshaun one fourth available, ..Colin Kaepernick ..CHILLIN' OUT..
HAHAHA "Anyone else?" That was awesome.
2:25 "The benefit of college is that if you win, you're there forever..." Not entirely true, but for a majority of places, yes. Yet places like USC, Ohio State, Michigan, etc; you can win all the time but if you don't beat your rivals and win championships...YOU ARE OUT! Happens all the time. Expectations can be outrageous in some places.
Eisen is the truth too
Mike's beautiful.
Sincerely as a browns fan and much respect for mick Tomlin.... you are a great coach and you are right... much respect from a browns fan. You deserve your respect sir!!!
I love our Coach T💯 The Squealer fans wanting him fired can drop dead🤬
Thank you Mike !! Some Pgh sports writers are and can be ASSSES!!!! Some from the past and some of 2023 !!!!They like to stir up stories!! They tried to get Jerome Bettis and Duce Staley into bunch of crap years ago !! Just one example.
Gives me chills.
It’s browns week, Tomlin has bigger things to worry about.
Networks would ......trip over themselves to get him. I see what you did there. Tomlin always be trippin (Ravens)
"not only no, but FU....rthermore no"
-Mike Tomlin... probably or maybe
Carsen dissed him by talking about Ben’s decline and other BS. The Rooney’s gave a young black coach a chance when no one else would. They didn’t fire Noll or Cowher for off years. They stand behind character. Why wouldn’t he be pissed?
Yea. I’m sure Urban will work out GREAT IN Jacksonville. No way he will be in the conversation of worst NFL coach of all time.
He knows he will NEVER be fired in Pittsburgh and he knows he would only last 3 years at USC. Booster dont put up with not living up to expectations.
Crazy thing is reporters don't care about an aggressive answer. They are gonna keep pressing for answers regardless of how insulted you seem. But after Tomlin's answer, the reporters were quiet as a mouse. Lol.... Stop playing with that man!!!
There are Clowns who ACTUALLY think USC or LSU or Oklahoma are better jobs than being head coach of the Steelers. It's comic.
I hate the Steelers so much since they beat my Jets in the 2011 AFC Championship, but Tomlin is arguably one of the best coaches ever.
Why the HELL would Tomlin want to go TO A COLLEGE TEAM when he's IN THE BIG LEAGUES with the BEST ORGANIZATION THERE IS ??? Sort of makes NO SENSE - DOESN'T IT !! He's NOT A WHORE either - he's not about to do it JUST FOR MONEY !
I'm from the future and I'm here to let you know that no, the whole Urban experiment did not go so well and I find it hard to imagine any scenario from this point forward where he will have any sort of "Pete Carroll kind of career" in the NFL.
I have a question, Rich why don't you leave and do college commentating? Have your own college sports show? Bet you would say the same thing. Tomlin has never had a loosing season
Kellan Moore potential hiring maybe? But I think Hue Jackson or Jeff Fisher are better candidates.
Aww the Andy Reid love even during a hard year makes me love Tomlin so much more than I already did.
He's smart. He would NEVER get fired from the Steelers. USC won't hesitate.
Fast forward.... Sean Payton is ciaching the Denver Broncos
The only reason they're asking Tom again cuz he's black and I think more recruits would want to come to him
“Unacceptable”… I incorporated that in my speech for graduation 😂
That was some nice splash Mike. That would be like the browns job. And it sucks.
Of course people are trying to make it about race, as if someone wanting a black man to coach their team is racism. Ridiculous
Except Carson Palmer didn't couch it as a "wishlist." He made it seem like these are the people we are considering. Which would sound like these are coaches that are interested. Also, what Tomlin didn't say, the USC job is a step DOWN from coaching the Steelers.
Yeah but he acted like a little bitch about it.
@@BG-bx4ey no he acted the right way I'm tried of the disrespect that Tomlin and Steelers get 😤
Carson Palmer has been a retired QB for a while, and he just got sacked yet again by the Steelers.
So a former Bengal started the rumor about Tomlin coaching at USC?
Mike ain't playing he burn the bridge and the house down at same time enjoying the moment.
