Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2016, but that hasn’t stopped him from being one of the best coaches in the NFL. When it seemed like most of the league was transitioning into young, offensive minds as head coaches, Tomlin stood tall. He’s lived by his philosophies, for better or worse. Now, it looks like that patience could bear fruit, but Robert Mays of The Athletic still believes Tomlin is holding the Steelers back.
“Even teams like the Steelers, where Mike Tomlin is a fantastic coach, consistently putting that team in the best possible position,” Mays said on a recent episode of The Athletic Football Show.
