As far as Mike Tomlin is concerned, Stephen Ross’ loss is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ gain. After the Miami Dolphins owner fired Brian Flores as head coach following a three-year tenure, Tomlin hired him to come in as a senior defensive assistant with an emphasis on coaching the linebackers.
It didn’t take long for that to reap some benefits, as it helped them attract Myles Jack, a veteran inside linebacker, after he was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars—another case of another team’s loss being their gain, or so they hope. Speaking to reporters at OTAs yesterday, in so many words, he came here to be coached by Flores.
