Calling Mike Tomlin a victim isn’t going to be a popular statement. To be frank, Tomlin isn’t a victim at all. He’s an incredibly successful head coach who has 16 years of being a head coach in the NFL. Only 23 coaches have held a head coaching job for more seasons in NFL history and only 14 coaches have coached as long or longer than Tomlin and won a Super Bowl. Obviously, we’re using a term like “victim” relatively here, but I’m still using it.
Because while Mike Tomlin is lauded and loved by NFL executives, other coaches, players and analysts, his record the last decade has many Steelers fans arguing he is a detriment to the team.
