For those who don't know Mike Tomlin is the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the second longest tenured coach in the league, and never had a losing season before resigning his job last year.

The idea of any NFL head coach having time to do this, especially a winning one, is absurd.

It's absurd, but he partly reflects on that himself: "But more than anything, it was therapeutic for me. Some mindless entertainment. I'm not a big TV watcher. It allowed me to detach from the realities and the pressures of life."

This guy makes good choices. While I get upset on Reddit, he's happy building his city. I need to rethink my life.

Was a bit confused by a sibling comment before realizing their comment is narrowed down to the Playoffs.

Overall > 0.5 win rate each year: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/TomlMi0.htm

But after 2016, playoffs? Not so much.

Tomlin is a poster child of how hard it is to drop early impressions of someone. He came in as a hot shot, but after last season he was going on 8 years since a single playoff victory.

It had also been 8 years since he had a decent QB. At some point it’s up to the GM to figure out how to get someone good.

		He stayed at the Steelers too long. He should have gone somewhere with a better QB, the Steelers should have bottomed out enough to be able to draft a good QB.

Don't let the "gridset" bros lie to you: one can simultaneously have hobbies and leisure time while being productive and successful.
