The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for doing things differently. Still run by the same family that founded the team in 1933 with just three head coaches since 1960, they’ve created a culture many other franchises have tried to replicate.
Yes, Pittsburgh may have a playoff win drought, which is aggravating, but the team is consistently competitive, and there have been no locker-room mutinies in recent years. That’s a strong culture. To have that strong culture, you need leadership and the right players. Although he has his faults, head coach Mike Tomlin is a great leader, and through his leadership, he has found a good way to bring in players who fit the Steelers’ culture.
