I'd have to say this is more on their anemic offense. But I'd be all for bringing Munchak back as line coach/head coach lol.

I think Tomlin did a very good job this season. I'm with you on the negative Tomlin train but I'll give credit where it's due. I still hope Dan Snyder makes the Rooney's an offer they can't refuse for Tomlin's services though. Take the NFLs version of Dan Byslma to the NFC.
That said, I think the coaching staff didn't do enough to help the QB situation. They went in with Ben and no experience, which is fine but have a backup plan for the offense.
Having no running game, no TE, and no FB really killed the QB situation. Jaylen Samuels has good pass catching abilities and could have played an Hback/FB position to help the running game and be a safety valve in the passing game. They just seemed to make little adjustments to the offense and seemed to go from training wheel offense to Big Ben passorama offense.
I like Snell and think he can be a nice bruiser but I think the team needs a legit number 1 RB. I like Connor but he can't seem to stay healthy.

I'm sorry that I am negative on Coach T. My reasons in no particular order:
1) He can beat the bottom feeders. The NY Jets being the most recent example. To me, it's lack of having the team prepared.
2) He tosses the red flag when it's clear it's a loser.
3) Clock management skills are third rate.
4) His "managing" Antonio Brown's behavior cost the Steelers dearly. Maybe Brown was incorrigible, but Tomlin's distinct lack of disciplining Brown early in his career did not help.

1. Yes, Tomlin has a crystal clear track record of struggles against sub-.500 opponents/inferior competition. I agree about lack of preparation. He needs to step it up there.
2. Agree.
3. Agree, but better in 2019.
4. Somewhat disagree. Brown was suspended by the team for the final game of 2018. Didn't really hurt the team. The best move Tomlin and the organization made was to trade him to Oakland. Look at all the garbage that has occurred since. Steelers let him go at the PERFECT time.
I have to give props to Tomlin on the 8-8 record this year, given the circumstances he dealt with. He's still never had a losing campaign. Let's see how he fares with Ben (hopefully) back in the fall. Remember, his contract is up following the 2020-2021 season.

Better be trading for Fournette.
