You won’t hear anyone around the Pittsburgh Steelers’ facility use the term “rebuild” but that’s exactly where this team is whether Art Rooney II, Omar Khan or Mike Tomlin want to admit it or not. That doesn’t mean this has to be a complete teardown and rebuild from the ground up – there are too many good pieces for that – but one question remains. Is Mike Tomlin the best guy to be in charge of doing it?
When Mike Tomlin took over for Bill Cowher in 2007, he inherited a franchise quarterback, a Hall of Fame Defensive Coordinator, a veteran Offensive Coordinator and one of the best defenses in pro football.
