Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was in just his third season back in 2009 when he declared that his team would ‘unleash hell’ in December following a losing streak. It did not work, as they went out and played an awful game the following weekend, though they then rebounded, but still missed the postseason.
He has since then learned not to make such remarks, and he’s been better off for it. But that doesn’t change the fact that he and everybody else knows that things must change in order for his team to be able to deliver different results.
