Historically, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has been known as the ultimate player’s coach. Some use the term to praise Tomlin while others use it to demean him. Heck, it can be hard to even agree on what it means to be a player’s coach. Some say that those coaches are too easy on their players.
Regardless of others’ intent, WR Calvin Austin III loves Tomlin for it. He appeared on the Jason & John radio show in Memphis on Thursday, and he was asked about playing for Tomlin.
“Coach Tomlin is a true player’s coach,” Austin said.
