They had been wanting him to DOR (drop out on request)  for a while but Mayo wasn’t having it. They finally had to let him go

How soon will they hire Vrabel? Seems like the perfect fit for the coach and the team.

My thoughts as well HAEJOK

And now Pederson…
Who’s next?…
Dominos are starting to fall…

Damn I was hoping it was Tomlin.

And now Pierce…
It’s going to get interesting after the playoffs…

 I've never understood the Tomlin hate. 

I get it, zero playoff wins in almost 10 years. But they've also been without a QB for most of that time. The last 2 years of Ben's career he was a liability. Since then... Mason Rudolph, Duck Hodges, Kenny Pickett, Fields, Russell hustle'n'bustle.... 

Like... what coach are you getting to replace him? 

Whizkid Ben Johnson isn't gonna fix their QB/offensive line issues. Other hot coordinators or up and coming college guys or random Sean McVay assistants are just dart throws... hoping one of them MIGHT become a real Leader of Men like Mike Tomlin.

Keeps fixing the line and get a real QB and maybe add a WR who's not another headcase. 

There is another folder re: Tomlin that does not apply to ANY other Tenured HC in the NFL. The Rooney Rule. I should have solved that riddle for you now.
