One of the more amusing stories for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season was the rumors surrounding head coach Mike Tomlin and his purported connections to vacant head coaching positions at the college level. The most notable was an inadvertent leak by former Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who told Dan Patrick that they considered Tomlin a ‘wildcard’ candidate for the job at USC…which, unbeknownst to him, nobody had ever said publicly before.
It all ultimately led to Tomlin being asked a question about that job and others he was supposedly being connected to in one way or another, including Ryan Clark’s LSU.
