One of the interesting, and at times frustrating qualities that Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin possesses is that, in spite of the fact that he is a very learned and erudite individual, he also puts a lot of value on the idea of intangibles, drive, will, and things that generally can’t be taught.
Apparently, this was something that was instilled into him at his very first stop on the coaching circuit a quarter of a century ago when he worked with the wide receivers at the Virginia Military Institute in 1995, a story that he relayed to Jeremy Fowler recently for ESPN.
