What would it take for the Pittsburgh Steelers to fire a head coach? It hasn’t happened in decades. Their current head coach is going into his 15th season. His predecessor coaches for 15 seasons before retiring, that being Bill Cowher. Chuck Noll preceded him, helming the team for 23 seasons before he, too, retired. Both of them are now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
While I’m sure there were moments during their respective tenures when there was a vocal minority of fans who wanted to see them fired, advancements in technology such as social media have made it a lot easier for people to share their views, and there is certainly no shortage of content involving the insistence that the Steelers must fire Tomlin.
