The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2016, and a lot of the blame for that has fallen on head coach Mike Tomlin. But former Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, who played a part in hiring Tomlin in 2007 and worked with him up until Colbert’s retirement after the 2022 NFL Draft, thinks that Tomlin deserves more credit. Speaking to Scott Brown of Steelers Depot at Grandview Golf Club on Monday at an annual gathering of Western Pennsylvania high school football coaches, Colbert praised Tomlin for getting the Steelers in a situation to win “year in and year out” and said he doesn’t get enough credit.
