As has become a common late-season and early-offseason discussion point, the heat on Mike Tomlin cranks up with each disappointing season. Careening towards another year without a playoff victory, NFL insider Albert Breer wouldn’t be surprised if the team has “hard” internal conversations over Tomlin’s fate.
“I think it is gonna take having some real hard discussions on where they’re at, on where Mike Tomlin’s at, on how everyone feels about the position that they’re in,” Breer said on the Sports Illustrated’s YouTube channel when asked if Tomlin needs a fresh start.
Breer echoed similar comments a year ago amid speculation that the Steelers could part ways with Tomlin, either via trade or mutual parting.
