He's an absolute legend not only in the Steel City, but in the history of the National Football League. But could his days be numbered? According to one particular Pittsburgh Steelers outlet, don't be surprised.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who has never had a losing season during his NFL career as a head coach (the longest active streak, by the way), was able to help his team rebound from a sluggish 3-3 start in the 2021 season to clinch yet another postseason berth, where they would eventually bow out to the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to Steelers Wire, don't be surprised if Tomlin's seat begins to feel a bit warm should they get off to another pedestrian start in 2022. Take a look below:
"I’m not here to judge the moves Tomlin made this offseason but after going 0-3 in their last three playoff games and being outscored 135-100, questions do arise about the top-end potential of this team.
If the Steelers come out and struggle, the 2022 season could be over before it ever gets started. If this happens and Pittsburgh turns to rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, this whole season might be a wash. Does that give Tomlin a pass or will he be forced to take the heat for not doing enough this offseason to be competitive?"
The winningest African American coach in NFL history, Tomlin has amassed a career record of 154-85-2 along with a Super Bowl win in his 15 seasons. He's also currently the 3rd winningest active coach in the NFL.
