For much of the regular season, Mike Tomlin was heralded as a potential NFL Coach of the Year candidate for getting the Pittsburgh Steelers out to a 10-3 start. But after losing their final four regular season games and getting practically blown out by the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round, questions about Tomlin’s future in Pittsburgh sprang out of nowhere.
Yet, a closer look at the situation could spell trouble. Coach Tomlin hasn’t led the Steelers to a win since the 2016 season. However, he still has yet to have a losing season in 18 years as an NFL head coach. Many other teams would love to be where the Steelers are, even if that means an early exit from the postseason.
Still, what about the Steelers? As a franchise who sets a high standard, is Tomlin at risk of losing his job?
