Though the talking point has largely died down, there are still some speculating Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin might not be in it for the long haul. Appearing on the Dan Patrick Show Wednesday, former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis was asked if Tomlin could pivot to a TV career after the 2024 season. Bettis said that is possible.
