Making excuses gives his team an excuse to lose, Tomlin's not head coach material.
The thing is--he's actually a fairly decent head coach with a proven track record, so he certainly qualifies for "HC material."
Unfortunately, in this instance, he allowed his emotions to get the best of him, rather than taking the high road and not making excuses. This was also exacerbated by the media/reporters, who were all foaming at the mouth regarding the insinuation from the "other" media/reporters on NBC's broadcast (boy, are those guys some **** stirrers) about the first quarter signal interference.
In this case, I think Tomlin jumped at the suggestion in his after game presser and never looked back. That was very wrong of him.
