Maybe….just maybe….fan bases dont agree 100%
If Steelers fans could read they would be pretty upset right now and hurt themselves in their confusion.
theyre only upset because they think JPJ and TJ are going to leave, as well as a bunch of other decent players, and I’m a steeler fan.
i think tomlin deserved another year or two honestly.
That’s because 60% feel one way and 40% feel the other.
Or maybe fans of a team arent a monolith. Weird, right?!
Reddit isn’t the majority of fans. Touch some grass
A good meme touches a nerve. This has clearly done that.
For a coach that’s been around that long, I kinda feel bad for him leaving after a home playoff loss with fans chanting “Fire Tomlin”. Tis the NFL, I suppose.
Best use of this meme
I must have missed the party where we’re upset
I’m not upset. It’s bittersweet, sure, but I’m excited for a new chapter in the Steelers history.
Imagine making it to the playoffs nearly every year and not being happy.
You realize there are some that wanted him fired and some that didn’t? The way it works with literally everything
I haven’t seen any Steeler fans upset about Tomlin leaving. Maybe a little sad about it but not because they thought he should stay, more like sad to see him finally go after 19 years.
As a Steelers fan, these mfs are so annoying. They complained about how he should’ve been fired years ago and then once he was fired they decided they suddenly loved him.
You can’t break up with me, because I’m breaking up with you

Tomlin? I thought Lovie Smith was their coach.
