Steelers head coach history reveals a painfully obvious pattern

The Pittsburgh Steelers pride themselves on hiring legendary head coaches. Since the merger, the franchise has only hired three: Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin. Each of them went on to lead the Steelers to Super Bowl success. Now the latest Steelers HC is finally stepping down.

After 19 seasons, Coach Tomlin elected to relieve himself of his coaching duties on Tuesday. Tomlin leaves the team with a career record of 193-114-2 while never having a losing season as head coach. Unfortunately, with the 30-6 Wild Card loss to the Houston Texans, the Steelers continued a nine-year drought without a playoff win.
