If you’re the sort who is interested in making the case for Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s eventual Hall of Fame conversation, then you can add another feather in his cap. With yesterday’s game, Tomlin has now tied former Steelers head coach, and Hall of Famer, Bill Cowher in all-time wins, now both with 149.
Tomlin has done it in nine fewer games. Cowher retired after 15 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach with an overall 149-90-1 record, a winning percentage of .623. Tomlin’s current record is now 149-81-1, a winning percentage of .647. Only five head coaches with 120 or more career victories have a better winning percentage: John Madden, George Halas, Don Shula, Paul Brown, and Tony Dungy.
