The majority of former NFL players who describe Mike Tomlin as a “player’s coach” use that term as a positive. It’s a label to explain that he relates to his players and creates a good working atmosphere. But there are plenty of people who will turn that same phrase around as a negative to say that Tomlin isn’t tough enough on his players. Former Steeler James Harrison sees both sides of that debate.

“With Mike, the biggest thing I guess that I like about him is he is a player’s coach,” Harrison said Wednesday evening via Nightcap.
