He actually did ok but not good enough.

I just read in this article by Adam Schefter that if the Dolphins and Steelers pass Tomlin up, he will not be passed up come this time next year.

I just heard on NFL Live that Tomlin made "quite an impression" on the Rooney family. If they take him, it'll give me yet ANOTHER reason to hate the Steelers.

I think they'll hire from within.

I say fire childress now and make tomlin our new head coach.

I was not impressed with childress at all. Way to conservative...

I wouldnt mind that at all. Maybe keep tomlin as DC but bring somebody else in....i dont like the conservative playing either.

At first, I thought "hmm... maybe Tomlin is getting a lot of looks because of the one rule that requires a team to interview at least one minority while filling a head coach position..." Then I thought to myself, nah, he's too damn good to be just a quota. He's no Cotrell!

I got a strange feeling that they will hire Tomlin, basicly because if Dan Rooney will feel pressured to use his own rule..

And also the interview went 3 hours and they were pretty impressed..

I'm starting to think that as a possibility too. But I sure hope you're wrong.
