Despite being the longest-tenured active head coach in the NFL and never having a losing record while also leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to two Super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl victory, head coach Mike Tomlin has never won the NFL Coach of The Year award. In an interview with Taylor Rooks on Amazon Prime ahead of the Steelers’ Thursday Night Football matchup with the Cleveland Browns, Tomlin said he believes that Coach of the Year usually goes to a coach who surprises, and he wants to be consistent enough that he’s not a surprise.
“I don’t,” Tomlin said when asked by Rooks if he feels any emotion about not winning Coach of the Year.
