🏈 Former Steelers guard Ramon Foster thinks it would be the wrong move to fire Mike Tomlin.
“We’re talking about Coach Tomlin. I’ll put it this way… This is my opinion. I didn’t want him fired, but I also thought this. If there was a year to move on, I thought it was this one, considering the circumstances. Five straight losses, another first-round bounce, offense looked anemic, but you still have some bones. If you have a guy in mind that you wanted to bring in. I don’t know who the guy is,” Foster said on Ben Roethlisberger’s Footbahlin podcast.
🏈 The New York Jets have started calling coaching and general manager candidates to inform them they are going in another direction, according to Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York.
