It’s not often that we get to see the relaxed, open version of Mike Tomlin outside of media scrums, but when the veteran Pittsburgh Steelers head coach appeared on the Flying Coach podcast with NFL Network’s Peter Schrager and Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, Tomlin was very open and having fun in the setting as he was joined by close friend and Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
Being open, relaxed and having fun led to a hilarious story from Tomlin involving Morris, the NFL Combine, and Steelers’ Hall of Famer “Mean” Joe Greene.
Tomlin and Morris coached together in Tampa Bay in the early 2000s when Tomlin was a defensive backs coach and Morris was a defensive quality control assistant, developing a lifelong friendship.
