Though Mike Tomlin gets painted as a master motivator, don’t overlook his ability to break down the X’s and O’s. On the latest episode of his Christian Kuntz podcast, Kuntz praised Tomlin for being a “film junkie” with a work ethic that doesn’t let up.
“After home games, he doesn’t go home,” Kuntz said on his show. “He goes right to the facility and starts on the next week. He has a hole-in-the-wall office. It’s not his normal office. It’s a hole-in-the-wall with TVs, his keyboard. That man just goes to work. He knows everything about every player on that team, every situation.
