When the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped three straight games in 2023, the boo birds were out in full force. The Steelers had been 7-4 but fell to 7-7. They were outside of the playoff picture at that point. People were calling for head coach Mike Tomlin’s head.

“Mike Tomlin is the Coach of the Year,” said Woody on Monday’s episode of Get Up on ESPN.
