In addition to being a player’s coach, Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers is renowned for his ability to demand respect in the locker room. However, a former player has stated that Tomlin is under pressure. On the “Craig Carton Show” on FS1, former Pittsburgh offensive lineman Willie Colon stated that the coach is under pressure. Colon said, “I love Mike Tomlin, but I have to say this—he’s on the hot seat.” However, Tomlin’s ex-player didn’t end there. He also criticised the coach for his failures during the playoffs and his inability to win simple games. “When you talk about his overall record, you talk about in 17 seasons, he has an 8-10 playoff record, only four seasons with playoff wins, and he’s had some bona fide teams even with Ben Roethlisberger,” Colon stated. “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 the New England Patriots. Had no right to lose those matches. And now Steeler Nation is angry because, despite facing a team that is far above average at the moment, they still lose stupid games. “Well, 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.” In part, the quarterback position is to blame for the Steelers’ current problems. of the offseason, Pittsburgh acquired Russell Wilson, so Steelers supporters will be hoping for a change of luck. Even though Tomlin has never had a losing season in his NFL tenure, he will be under pressure given that the Steelers have placed third in the AFC North the past two seasons. Another uneventful season finale could mean the end of his stay in Pittsburgh.
