The debate about whether or not Pittsburgh Steelers’ Head Coach Mike Tomlin is a good football coach will never end. It will continue to polarize the fan base for as long he remains the coach and for years to come. But this isn’t about him as “Coach Tomlin.” There are no X’s and O’s to analyze, no game mismanagement to discuss… This is about Mike Tomlin, Mike Tomlin the man. This is about the guy who wasn’t just standing up for a player. This was a man standing up for an organization and he absolutely nailed it.
In case you missed it, Tomlin went on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ to defend Quarterback Mason Rudolph as accusations of him using a racial slur at Myles Garrett continue to fester.
