Nineteen years ago, Mike Tomlin arrived in Pittsburgh, debuting his iconic, confident gait. It was five months before the first iPhone, three years before Instagram. Now, as a sea of Terrible Towels waves Tomlin goodbye, we’re the ones left to process all that he meant.

Mike Tomlin is a very good football coach. In every job situation, there comes a time when it’s ran its course. That time came for him. I’m sure that he wants to coach again he will have no problem getting a job. He knows what worked for him and what didn’t. Good luck to him🏈

As an eagles fan, I gotta give respect to Tomlin. Over the last few years, it was insane to give him a bad or mediocre roster and he drags them into the playoffs. Imagine what he could do with a stacked lineup.

The end in Pittsburgh wasn’t ideal of course, but he’s still one of the best in his time. I think people truly won’t understand how special not having a losing season is. The times he’s beaten a Ravens and Bengals team more talented than his. Two super bowl trips and a ring. Better than most.

Thank you, Mike Tomlin, for keeping the Steelers going! You did us proud, the perfect fit for Pittsburgh, following in the steps of Noll and Cowher! Stepping down shows the man, the coach, & character of a true leader! Best wishes in your next professional endeavor!
