Despite how frustrated some fans are, Mike Tomlin is almost certainly going to be with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025. Although he hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016, he’s still managed to keep the Steelers competitive. That doesn’t seem to be good enough, though. Late-season collapses, and first-round playoff exits have people calling for the Steelers to replace Tomlin. However, former NFL defensive lineman Stephen Weatherly believes the Steelers would be hard-pressed to upgrade over Tomlin.
“Fans think that there is a coach out there that can take these similar pieces, situation, how the ownership is, which is another factor that the average fan doesn’t think about,” Weatherly said recently on Atlanta Black Star’s YouTube channel.
