No one is tied to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ future longer than DK Metcalf, whose arrival came with a massive commitment from the team. That’s why his public support of Mike Tomlin stands out amid the escalating fan-turned-media frenzy after Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.
“The fans have a right to be mad, but I’m not calling for anybody’s job,” Metcalf said Wednesday via ESPN’s Brooke Pryor on X. “That’s a man that I hold in high regard with Coach T. and how he carries himself and how he takes a lot of criticism. But he comes in here and he still is a great leader, so I understand the frustration, but calling for somebody’s job is something I’m not for.
