There were a lot of mixed reactions when the Pittsburgh Steelers announced a three-year extension for head coach Mike Tomlin, with his lack of recent playoff success leaving many wary that the term was right for a coach who hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016. ESPN’s Brooke Pryor said the length of the extension was a “little surprising,” and it hasn’t been super well-received by Steelers fans. But former Steelers OL Trai Essex, who played for Tomlin from 2007-2011, thinks the head coach was deserving and that he’s the person best suited to lead the Steelers.
