Let’s be clear. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ owners outside of the Rooney family don’t particularly matter when it comes to running the team and making decisions. They are just there to make their money. The likelihood of them getting their way on anything of importance is slim at best. Thomas Tull has perhaps been the most successful in elbowing his way through thanks to his work in the film industry.
So whoever the minority owners are who actually think that they can influence Art Rooney II into parting ways with the team’s head coach, Mike Tomlin, after posting the second-most wins in 11 seasons by a coach in NFL history, ought to have a talking to, and if they don’t get in line, should be removed.
