Mike Tomlin’s legacy as a good coach had been secured long ago. Boasting a .650 career winning percentage as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers as he moves onto his 15th season, however, he understands that the priority is to win in the ‘second season’—the playoffs.
That’s something he and the Steelers have not done since 2016. In fact, they have only won a total of three postseason games since 2010. He won five postseason games and made two appearances in the Super Bowl over the course of his first four years on the job, in stark contrast.
