It really is impossible. I don’t know a single person, regardless of team allegiance that’s had anything negative to say or who didn’t just flat out love him. I’m a Bengals fan and the Steelers crushed my heart numerous times in the Marvin Lewis era. I *hate* the Steelers immensely. But I love and have tremendous respect for Troy Polamalu. What an incredible person and athlete.

Rich, there's a ton of Pittsburgh people and fans that love Mike Tomlin. The thing is most people, in general, don't understand leadership and what makes a leader because they don't have experience with it. So, when things go bad, they don't know that this happens with everyone. The response is the important part.

Pete Carroll recently told the story of the rope, I think it was on KJ Wright's pod. Apparently he came up with the idea of the midnight meeting at the coliseum but didn't have the SLIGHTEST IDEA what he was going to do there. He told the team to show up before he had the slightest inkling how he was going to use the moment, he just liked the idea of assembling in the middle of a dark stadium at midnight... He spotted a hardware store that same afternoon and came up with the idea of buying a rope and having a tug of war on the spot - which turned out to be a masterstroke of team-building. Pete's a coaching legend.

@jefferytokarsky1930 6 ай бұрын
Unasked? It’s asked all the time. Coach T fans say, or at least imply, many of Coach T’s detractors are racist. Coach T detractors mostly point to lack of playoff wins in the second half of Tomlin’s career. Many of those detractors say, or at least imply, you can’t criticize Coach T because of his race. I come down that Coach T is too good to want to see him gone, but he’s got deficiencies that he hasn’t fixed. He’s a defensive coach and relies too much on veteran leadership, which we don’t currently have on offense ... until Mason got in. He got rid of Canada but he needs a strong OC.

It took Bill Cowher 14 years to win a Super Bowl and no one called for his head. Steeler fans do not turn on their own team. It’s this new generation that has no understanding of football, who has access to social media, and loves drama, that is the problem. Not to mention the obvious. True Steeler fans stay the course and we ride with whoever is in the building….even Kenny Pickett smdh. Players feed off of fans. Stop the nonsense and be a fan. HERE WE GO!

People forget that the Steelers went 6-10 the year before they drafted Big Ben. The Steelers will continue to come up short as long as they’re finishing just above .500.
