Were Mike Tomlin's to coach say the Raiders, Jacksonville, Tampa or even Cleveland for crissakes producing the same results he has to date including the two SB appearances people would be naming their children and streets after him!
Unfortunately the Steelers have a long and proven success record and the fans take post season appearances for granted. Consecutive years near the bottom of the draft order has it's unintended consequences. I'm by no means a Tomlin hater or excuse maker, I think he has some shortcomings especially with game day preparation, clock management and talent assessment that cost the Steelers real estate and chances to succeed.
But the Steelers could be worse off IMHO, the Rooneys could have hired one (OR BOTH) of Buddy Ryans ******* offspring to be HC! Mother of God what a debacle that would be!
