*After Bellichick and Reid, all other “top tier” coaches have similar playoff win percentages.
The accompanying charts clearly demonstrate that Mike Tomlin is an elite NFL coach that CAN win, CAN get the teams to the playoffs, CAN win Championships. There is a difference in coaches that CAN do these things and haven’t done them “lately.” If you have no faith in a coach, fine; however, if you are just tired of waiting for your definition of success on your timeline, rethink your goals.
Firing, trading, or allowing Mike Tomlin to coach anywhere else in the league would be an IMMEDIATE and likely LONG disadvantage for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
