This proves how great the Rooneys are. Everyone including myself wanted Whisenhunt or Grimm to become the coach but no they got the right guy. 2 super bowl appearances with 1 championship, 3 division titles and 0 losing seasons all in 4 seasons. Mike Tomlin will be great.
mike tomlin awsome coach i actually ran into him with my dad up in seven springs, pa its a snowboarding resort and theres a bar called the foggy goggle there and me and my dad were having a few drinks and mike tomlin sits about 6 feet away from us tryed to get a pic with him but he said it would draw more attention to him but my dad chated with him i was snowboarding but my dad said he was funny and had a lot to say. steelers vs. bears to day i think 4:30 go steelers!
i am really excited about this coming season, it seems like an eternity since ive watched the steelers play. i wanna division title and in the top 4 playoff stops this coming season! fingers crossed!
@mmou3878 Ok, I'm going to be honest with you, please don't freak out or become cynical, please don't. God told me while I was watching this video that Tomlin was going to lead the Steelers to a SB win in 2 years. Nothing more, nothing less. I remember watching the ESPN interviews with guys who coached alongside him and how the team was growing during the mini-camps and OTAs of 2007. This is how I knew my friend.
sure man their defense was great in minnesota. is that why they had a losing record? and last i checked we already had lebeau and i think he knows about a good defense. and the tampa 2 defense was because of dungy.
last time i checked, the Vikings were #1 in stopping the run last year, thanks to Tomlin.... not to knock my own team, but where were the Steelers?... Need you also forget that Cowher was a defensive coach before he took over in Pittsburgh, (special teams with cleveland, and def coordinator with kansas city). And its a cop out to say the Tampa 2 was because of Dungy... if that was the case, why didn't he impliment it with the Colts, because their secondary blows.
If being number 1 at stopping the run gives your team a 6-10 record in the pathetic NFC than that is something the Steelers don't need. Now look at the team Porter is gone, Faneca is on his way out just so they can give Ben more money. I like Ben but it looks like those concussions have seriously affected his play.
really... i guess if going 6-2 in your last 8 games is a side effect of that, then he should get more of them...... Porter is good, but was expendable, because of our linebacker depth -plus i think Timmons or Woodley will fill in just nicely- and you can't blame the defense for lack of production on the offense. They can only do so much. If the offense is constantly turning the ball over, it's only a matter of time before the other team scores - no matter how good your defense is.
the steelers will suck this year. the last thing we needed was a black coach. especially one that sucks like this one. cuz minnesota had a great defense last year! this guy just got hired cuz of the "rooney rule". fire him and bring back cowher (or at least a white coach)
your an asshole.... he was responsible for the Tampa-2 defense that won them their Super Bowl. And was responsible for the Vikings great defense last year.... go suck a dick.
I will say this though. I'm sick of hearing the AFRICAN AMERICAN thing . Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith, and Mike Tomlin are no more African American, than I am German American.
Out of all our soldiers that died in Iraq, how many were black? How many were Jewish?
Doesn't matter, what matters is they died serving our country.

What a beast. Another Steeler legend in the making. In my opinion, he's already the 2d best coach in team history.

Thank You, Scott, for posting Parts 1 and 2 of this Press Conference!
I dedicated my Y360 page for a week to Coach Tomlin, and created a Blog that contained 95 photos of him.

What matters is Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are going to the Super Bowl.
What matter is the longest tenured coach in the NFL the last world champion coach resigned and
34 years old Mike Tomlin got the job.
I just hate how the media perpetuates this race thing.
