James Harrison knows the value of a great coaching staff. For Mike Tomlin, his “coaching tree” is barren. And that’s a problem. Addressing Tomlin’s lack of coaching development, Harrison put him on blast.
“What do we have over there? Honestly, what do we have over there?” Harrison told co-host Joe Haden on their Deebo & Joe podcast. “Mike’s been here almost 20 years. And he ain’t got one tree in his coaching tree. Not one limb. Come on. Look at Detroit. He already got two or three.”
Despite being professional sports’ longest-tenured head coach, Tomlin has not developed coaches under him.
