No it isn’t. In the NFL it’s a commonly used threshold to weed out statistical aberations. They talk about completion percentages but only for QBs that have thrown at least 100 passes to get rid of that 3rd stringer that came in one game threw twice and both completed. For coaches it means you have an actual body of work of over 5 seasons.

The simple fact of the matter is Tomlin is a great coach. He’s never had a season under 500 (thought this year might break that), made the playoffs 9 out of 14 years, SB twice, won it once. Yeah things have been a little rough with an antique at QB, but they’re still holding together. There’s simply nothing fireable in that record. And it gets better when you look at how mediocre so many ex-Steelers are when they wind up elsewhere. He’s clearly getting results from players other coaches can’t.

Now you wanna actually try to DISCUSS that?
