In his first interview as Pittsburgh Steelers GM, Omar Khan was asked by Missi Matthews of Steelers.com about his relationship with HC Mike Tomlin and if his relationship with Tomlin would have to change at all now being elevated to his new role in the organization.
“It stays the same,” Khan responded to Matthews question regarding his relationship with Tomlin. “Mike and I have known each other for 16 years now. We have a great relationship and that’s what makes this job fun.”
Pittsburgh is all about stability and continuity as an organization, and given Khan’s response on his relationship with Tomlin, it makes sense that he ended up being the team’s choice for the role of general manager.
