Steelers Give Mike Tomlin Extension

Pittsburgh has reportedly rewarded Mike Tomlin with a 3 year contract extension. Hard to argue with it, since he was the Super Bowl in his 2nd season as head coach, but he has his work cut out for him this year. With Roethlisberger suspended for the early part of the season, and some free agent losses, the Steelers are really going to be testing their depth. To make matter worse their division doesn't seem to be getting easier.

The only worry I have with this deal is that it is going to cut his acting time on "House".

Steelers Can't Be This Dumb

There are some reports coming out of Pittsburgh that the Steelers and coach Tomlin are no closer to a contract extension (his current deal runs out after this year), and that the Steelers actually want to wait and see how he does this year.

I am not a big Tomlin fan, but where is the respect? Tomlin has a 31-17 record in 3 seasons as head coach of the Steelers (and 3-1 record in the playoffs, including a Super Bowl championship). I believe he has done a decent job with all that shenanigans the Steelers have been pulling.

If this somehow does turn into a make or break year for him, it could be tough, since they are going to be playing with out Roethlisberger for the first month or so. Still, I really don't believe any of this, because the Steelers just can't be THAT dumb.

Unless maybe he wants to focus and be in Love and Basketball 2
