Ben Roethlisberger floats Mike Tomlin as candidate for Penn State: 'Probably go win national championships'


Looking like it is finally Tomlin's time, and Ben Roethlisraper wants him out now.

quote:

Outside of the success of the reigning Super Bowl champions, football in the state of Pennsylvania is at a crossroads. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in danger of posting the first losing season of the 19-year Mike Tomlin era, and after Penn State fired James Franklin, the Nittany Lions remain in search of a replacement coach.

The unrest stemming from the Steelers' underperformance and the anxiety tied to Penn State's tumultuous coaching search led a local legend to an idea; former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suggested Tomlin should take the Nittany Lions job.

"Maybe it's a clean house time," Roethlisberger said on his podcast. "Maybe it's time. I like Coach Tomlin. I have a lot of respect for Coach Tomlin. But maybe it's best for him, too. Maybe a fresh start for him is what's best. Whether that's in the pros, maybe go be Penn State's head coach. You know what he would do at Penn State? He'd probably go win national championships, because he's a great recruiter."




What a funny situation this would be. Penn State should do this for shits and giggs. It would be entertaining to say the least. A total disaster IMO, but entertaining nonetheless.

They should talk to UNC first and see how it's working with Bellichek (minus Jordan Hudson) if they want to follow the NFL to college path.
