Eight teams will be playing football this weekend in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers will not be one of them. That is all head coach Mike Tomlin cares about right now. That is why he abruptly left the stage in the aftermath of his team’s Wild Card Round loss to the Buffalo Bills when asked about his future.
He was fuming about where he found himself and not interested in that moment about where he would be going. A cooler head prevailed in the ensuing days, and Tomlin was able to make a joke about the situation at the start and close of his post-season press conference.
