Mike Tomlin guided the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 10-7 record and a Wild Card playoff berth the previous season. Despite their unexpected playoff berth following a 7-7 loss, there were numerous instances during the season when rumors circulated that Pittsburgh might break ways with Tomlin or that the coach might look for employment elsewhere.
However, after Tomlin escaped his first losing season as an NFL head coach in his 17-year tenure, all speculation over the Pittsburgh coach’s future vanished.
The head coach of the Steelers “should be on the hot seat” going into the 2024 campaign, according to a former teammate who played for Tomlin and even won Super Bowl XLIII with him.
Regarding his overall record, it is mentioned that in 17 seasons, he has only won eight or ten postseason games. He has managed some legitimate teams, including one that had quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Mike Tomlin’s current problem is that he wins games that he should win but loses games that he shouldn’t lose. Rewind to this year. He was defeated by the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots. Had no right to lose those matches. Steeler Nation is now irritated. Because they currently have an organization that is well above average in their sights, and then they drop stupid games.
Hey, who are the Pittsburgh Steelers, I ask myself. Right now, are they the dweebs or the bullies? You look like the dweebs if you lose against the Cardinals and Patriots.

With Russell Wilson at the helm of the team’s redesigned offense, the Steelers have raised their hopes going into the 2024 campaign. Though it may sound strange to suggest that Tomlin will be under pressure, he may find his position becoming more and more heated as the season progresses if he is unable to get more from the Steelers.
