Mike Tomlin might be one of league’s most successful head coaches during the last 10 years or so, but that hasn't earned him the level of respect one might imagine. Many fans and media members have questioned his coaching style, and even some former players believe he lacks discipline and is too much of a players' coach.
Although Tomlin rarely talks about his coaching philosophy to the media, it would appear he is more than aware of the criticism surrounding his methods coming from outside of the organization. When speaking to Colin Dunlap and Jim Colony of The Fan Morning Show on Monday, Tomlin offered a surprisingly honest response to a question about the way he manages his team.
