Tomlin would never, ever have an owner like the feckless Art Rooney II again and he knows it.
Remember, Rooney didn’t fire Tomlin and was willing to run it back again with him.
The other 31 owners don’t have patience and want to win championships unlike Rooney who seems ok with being just above the mean.
Tomlin finds himself exactly where he planned to be.
This is the same Tomlin that had Patriots players (retired now, mostly) laughing at him for not changing ANYTHING about his defensive game plan for 10+ years? When they said that they don't even have to game plan for us anymore? Those Patriots and that Tomlin?
