After 17 years, the discussion has made the mainstream. Is Mike Tomlin’s time in Pittsburgh up? Coming off two miserable losses in four days, first to the Arizona Cardinals and again to the New England Patriots, the Steelers are in their worst position of the season, sitting at 7-6, currently out of the playoffs, and no longer in control of their own destiny.
It’s made many to not just quietly wonder but openly discuss Tomlin’s future. Though there’s more validity to the argument than ever before, one NFL insider believes it’s a pipe dream to actually happen.
Appearing on the Rich Eisen Show earlier Friday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said he can’t realistically see a scenario where Tomlin isn’t the Steelers’ head coach next season.
