Angry Pittsburgh Steelers fans are calling for significant change to the organization after the embarrassing loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC wild card round. But if any changes are coming to the Steelers, it’s probably not going to be them moving on from head coach Mike Tomlin.
At least that’s what ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported while appearing on his network on January 12.
“Pittsburgh hasn’t given any indication that it wants to move on from Mike Tomlin,” Schefter said, via Steelers Depot. “This has been the most patient franchise, not just in football, but maybe sports.
“When Bill Cowher was struggling at the end, and fans in Pittsburgh wanted him gone, the Rooney’s stuck with him, and he wound up winning another Super Bowl.
“There’s no indication they wanna move off Mike Tomlin now.”
Tomlin and the Steelers suffered a team-record sixth straight postseason defeat on January 11. Baltimore dominated the Steelers in every area during the first half.
The Ravens outgained the Steelers 308-59 during the first two quarters. Baltimore had 164 rushing yards and posted 19 first downs in the half while the Steelers had 19 rushing yards and two first downs.
