Tomlin needs to follow his own words

https://triblive.com/sports/mark-ma...-his-words-into-practice-be-held-accountable/

Tomlin hasn’t won a playoff game in six years. He has won just three in his last 12 seasons. His teams have got off to bad starts in four of the last five seasons. They choked away postseason berths with bad finishes in 2018 and ’19. The Steelers started 11-0 in ’20 but lost five of their last six.

Tomlin remains Teflon despite all that disappointment. He clings to never having a losing season and being loved by his players past and present.

The media is totally buffaloed, stooging both locally and nationally. Tomlin has somehow negated the concept of football being a results-based business.

Mike McCarthy (from Greenfield) is Dallas’ coach. He coached Green Bay when the Packers beat Tomlin and the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV to conclude the 2010 season.

Since then, McCarthy is 6-8 in the playoffs. He gets criticized regularly on ESPN’s debate shows and the like.

Tomlin is 3-7 in the postseason after that Super Bowl. The same programs and hosts canonize Tomlin, sometimes in the same breath after castigating McCarthy.

Tomlin won’t ever get fired. I get that. That’s the Steelers method.

But at least hold Tomlin accountable.
