  1. I’m not gonna lie I damn near shed a tear. Onto newer and better things. Best wishes to Tomlin for all that he’s done for this organization but it was just time and I’m glad he saw that too

  2. I know this is for the best but not gonna lie, it makes me sad. Thanks for everything Coach T 🖤

  3. Needed to happen, but still very bittersweet. Best of luck on the next stage of your career Coach T!

  4. Kind of surreal feeling, we’ll have a new head coach for the first time since I’m a fan. I’m atleast glad Mike himself understood that it’s time.

    Know it turned sour lately, but still was the coach of the teams that made me love this sport. Forever thankful.

  5. You know, as bad as I wanted change internally… i still can’t help but feel sad to see him go.

    I welcome the next chapter, but I rooted for him and his success. Not just because I’m a fan of the team, but because he seems like a great guy that you could grab a beer and talk about anything and everything with.

  6. Mike Tomlin is nothing short of pure class.
    The best to you and your family Coach .

  7. The only coach I’ve ever known. He’s a damn good one, fuck whatever else anyone in here wants to say. If he continues to coach somewhere else, he’s gonna make another team happy. But it was beyond time for us to move on. Thank you Coach T, I hope you don’t coach anywhere else because I don’t want to see you as anything other than a Steeler. But if you keep coaching, I wish you the best of luck. Otherwise, I’m sure I’ll see you on TV at some point.

  8. God damnit, as frustrating as the last several seasons have been, I don’t want to become the jets. Please don’t whiff on this hire lol

  9. Damn. I was feeling like this was necessary, but it’s still sad to see the end of an era. He’s been the Steelers for practically my entire sports life

  10. Wow, wasn’t sure if he would stay or go. Mixed feelings about his coaching. But always thought he is a good man.

  11. Rebuild time. Time to back the team 2x. We’re going to probably having losing seasons but it finally time to rebuild the entire team

  12. You ever bitch and bitch for something, and when you finally get your way, you’re happy but also like “damn”?

    That’s me right now. It’s the right decision. But holy cow did a flood of memories just come swarming in.

  13. Thank you for everything just doesn’t seem to encapsulate everything you did as a Steelers head coach, the level that you did it at for so long, and the way you did it. 

    You are a great representative of the team and the city of Pittsburgh. You’re a helluva coach and will be missed despite how it seems right now.

    All the best to you Coach. And truly thank you. 

  14. At the end of the day, 19 years and never a losing season is an amazing accomplishment. It sucks to be eliminated early in the playoffs, but even getting there is hard work. Hopefully the next guy is ready for all the pressure he will be under.

  15. I’m guessing now that Tomlin is gone, the chances of Rodgers wanting to come back is now zero
