It might be a simple statement, but Mike Tomlin is right. You can conjure up every scenario in the book, but if you're not winning meaningful football games, there is nothing to back up your words. Tomlin has been the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers for 19 seasons, and has won a Super Bowl. His biggest issue has been a hot start to a career that ultimately led to mediocrity.
Pittsburgh is tired of the mushy middle that the Steelers have been stuck in under the direction of Tomlin. They haven't won a playoff game in nine years, and it appears each season is the same.
