I am very pleased with Tomlin. I'm not saying I am sure he's gonna be a success, because nobody can predict that sort of thing with a 1st time coach....but I have faith in the Steelers oraganization, so I have faith in the new coach. Plus, everything I've read about him has been very positive. And, I like young and hungry coaches, like a Mangini and whatnot...did not want to see a retread, not that the Steelers would go down that path. My only concern is that on offense, there will be a new O-coordinator, and a new QB coach, probably, so it could take some time for Ben to adjust to a new system. Should also be interesting to see if Tomlin installs a 4-3, which he uses because he is a Cover 2 guy....Steelers of course have been a 3-4 team for a long time now, and LeBeau, who is staying as D Coordinator, basically intvented the zone blitzing scheme the Steelers use out of the 3-4. Anyway, I'm pleased with it. I'll leave the Kiffin comments to others....just hope for his sake that Davis leaves him alone and lets him coach his team how he wants.
And, just want to say that of course the Bears have a chance, WHA and Phil. I'll believe Peyton can win 2 big games in a row when I see it.
