Snoop Dogg sounds off on Mike Tomlin’s outdated Steelers offense on Rich Eisen Show
The Pittsburgh Steelers, under Mike Tomlin, are frequently (and rightfully) chastised for their offensive regression.
Snoop Dogg counts himself among them and attributes the Steelers’ lack of postseason success on his past staff selection practices.
“Our company is not like other companies. Snoop Dogg stated on the January 18 broadcast of The Rich Eisen Show, “We don’t do all that flip-flopping, and we’ve had terrible seasons up under Chuck Noll and up under Bill Cowher.” It’s only an issue of the staff; this man hasn’t had one bad season. It’s the staff, not him, in my opinion.
Eisen pointed out to Snoop that Tomlin is the one who assigns his staff.
In response, the hip-hop musician suggested letting general manager Omar Khan take over and aid in choosing assistant coaches.
We haven’t attended the event in a while, so perhaps a general manager or someone else should take over and help out by saying, “Well, we’re going to choose the D coordinator and the O coordinator, and you oversee it all, coach.”
It’s wonderful that we just keep slipping in or backing out, but I want it all. This place used to be ours, so I think the staff needs to be adjusted in some way. The staff that selects the greatest players, develops them, and places them in the ideal situations to succeed is what makes the winning teams.
Snoop, a Steelers supporter of more than 40 years, believes it all stems from the antiquated offense.
“Our offensive style, for example, needs to be 2025, not 1984. It needs to be moved about in order for it to function as intended. I have no issues with defense at all. I really enjoy how well our defense plays, but when it comes to the offense, I believe there is room for improvement, especially when considering the Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, and Lions. Simply the manner in which Amon-Ra St. Brown is being moved.
Heading into his 18th season, it will be a pivotal one for Tomlin. All eyes are on him to hire young, quality coordinators who can help bring the Steelers into the 21st century. Better late than never.
