17 years, zero losing seasons: Mike Tomlin’s coaching genius rumbles on

The Steelers head coach has won a Super Bowl but remaining in the playoff hunt with a middling roster may make 2023 his finest year so far

Mike Tomlin, in his 17th season as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, found a seat behind a table and two microphones last week and said he was really excited" that his team had rallied to beat the Tennessee Titans. Then, as usual, Tomlin abruptly began sweating the details.

Obviously, it could have been cleaner, first and foremost, from a penalty perspective," Tomlin said. Part of being a tough team to beat, first, is not kicking your own butt, and we've been kind of doing that some. We've got to own that. And so, we will. We'll review it. We'll learn from it, we'll look at it. We'll bring more officials into our practice setting in an effort to be cleaner, because that was catastrophic, really, in a lot of instances to our effort."
