MIKE TOMLIN

Making the playoffs should be our entire focus, not overall record

We'll bounce back this year without a doubt

IMO, Tomlin will be considered a success if we go anywhere from 9-7 on up--especially for his first year.

is i just me or do threads with all capitals in the name annoy you guys?

**BRICKTOWN BEAST** · 04-15-2007, 02:07 PM

I THINK THERE GREAT AND IT CAPTURES PEOPLES ATTENTION. AND WHEN YOU MAKE CAPITOLS IT SHOWS HOW GREAT A PERSON YOU ARE.

Thread titles in all caps aren't so bad, just don't post in all caps all the time otherwise we think you're yelling at us

Good point !!

The pressure is on Tomlin in a way that most new HC's don't have to deal with. Normally when a new coach comes to down the team is in a state of rebuilding, or at least heading in a new direction from what the old coach did. Most times there is some leeway afforded to a new HC. Im sure the Rooney's won't fire Tomlin if he doesn't have a winning record in his first year :wink: but to think they don't expect success in his fire year would be incorrect too.

Tomlin already has a championship caliber team in his lap, he is now charged with tweaking it and getting the best out of each one of these guys in a way that they probably aren't used to. I think he's got to make the playoffs in order to call his first year a success. We're accustomed to winning and we expect it so Mike definitely has his hands full but he seems to be embracing the challenge thus far.

Then, after it captures their attention, it immediately calls to attention those who can't spell thus bringing their intellect into question ...
