It was quite a moonshot by the Bears to inquire about trading for Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history. That proved completely unrealistic.
“It really didn’t go very far,” Steelers president Art Rooney II told KDKA, the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh this week. “We weren’t interested in really pursuing it, and so it was a pretty short conversation.”
Tomlin, 52, has been the Steelers’ head coach since 2007 and has never had a losing season. He won a Super Bowl and has made the playoffs in 12 of 18 seasons.
