One of the most beautiful things in Pittsburgh right now is the love between the local professional football team’s head coach and his players. This season more than ever—acknowledging the reality of recency bias here—it seems that the Pittsburgh Steelers are exemplifying a real love of the game, and fort the camaraderie that comes along with it.
That was never more evident than in Joe Haden’s gushing praise of Mike Tomlin after the game, when asked to talk about what his head coach does that makes him so good. “He definitely always has the ‘next man up’ mentality, but he practices what he preaches”, he said.
