Did you know that entering his 16th season as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin has never once won the NFL’s Coach of the Year award?
Despite being one of the most successful coaches of his era — and in NFL history — Tomlin has not once won the award. Really, he’s never even been truly considered for it. That includes the remarkable 8-8 season he got out of the Steelers in 2019 after losing Ben Roethlisberger to an elbow injury six quarters into the season, relying on Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges to get through that year, in which the Steelers were 8-5 late in the season in a playoff spot before collapsing.
