You can’t drop a quarter in Pittsburgh without it landing on somebody who’s pissed off at head coach Mike Tomlin. That’s just the way the Steelers fanbase is, particularly those who are solely results-based, and, well, his playoff winless streak is hard to ignore.
But players? You don’t often hear a bad word said about the man from anybody who has actually been anywhere near him. Yet former Steelers Pro Bowl left tackle Alejandro Villanueva finds himself annoyed at times at Tomlin, for the best possible reasons.
“Mike Tomlin is one of a kind. I think sometimes I get a little pissed off when I see him because I know that he can have a much bigger role in society than being a head coach”, he said on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce.
