Tomlin has had a decade of success

should tell you that the good far outweighs the bad and that he is a very good coach (not great, by his own admission), worthy of what the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ed Bouchette reported is an imminent contract extension.

If you’re a Steelers fan, you should feel lucky to have him, no matter what Terry Bradshaw says. Tomlin has won 64.4 percent of his games, five division titles, two conference championships and a Super Bowl. He has never had a losing season. He presided over the complete rebuild of his defense and brought his team back to championship contention.

His attributes are obvious. He excels in player relations. He is highly intelligent. He exudes calmness in the worst of storms. He hires good people, and his teams routinely improve as the season progresses (16-2 in December and January over the past four regular seasons).

Last year, the Steelers won the AFC North title and advanced to the conference title game, where the New England Patriots and Tom Brady dismantled them — and you better believe Tomlin deserved to be ripped.

How that equates to “Tomlin must go!” I do not know. It’s quite the leap. It’s insane, actually. Ask yourself this question: Are there many coaches, or any, besides New England’s Bill Belichick who could do a better job than Tomlin?

Nearly any coach in NFL history would kill for a decade featuring the kind of success Tomlin has enjoyed, yet you have people telling the world he has failed. They say his greatest failure is not capitalizing on the best years of a great quarterback’s career.

Is it at least worth noting that the quarterback didn’t have his top two weapons two years ago in the divisional round and lost Le’Veon Bell again last year at the most critical time?

Did Tomlin fumble the ball against Green Bay in the Super Bowl or throw an interception for a touchdown that night?

Tomlin’s most vehement critics, such as Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports 1, believe he is propped up by the solid organization around him. As if he is somehow not part of what makes the organization solid.

As if identifying a littleknown rising star named Mike Tomlin wasn’t part of what makes the Steelers smarter than most.
