In 2007, Mike Tomlin was named head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The following year, John Harbaugh earned the same title with the Baltimore Ravens. Each has overseen successful times during their years leading their respective franchises, and the two are now the longest-tenured head coaches in the NFL.
Bill Barnwell answered questions from listeners on his show with ESPN on Wednesday. One question had to do with Harbaugh and Tomlin and who Barnwell thought was more successful. While he gave credit to Tomlin, Barnwell eventually sided with his rival.
“I just think he’s [Harbaugh] been a better version of the framework we have for Mike Tomlin,” Barnwell said.
