Tomlin definitely maximized Roethlisberger’s later years, keeping Pittsburgh competitive even when the roster wasn’t elite. Cowher had early success with Ben, including a Super Bowl win, but his three seasons didn’t have the same sustained stability that Tomlin provided.
If Pittsburgh had moved on from Tomlin, they probably would’ve struggled with worse, especially considering their inconsistency in finding a reliable quarterback post-Roethlisberger.
His ability to maintain winning seasons despite roster limitations is impressive—it’s hard to argue with that.
Do you think Pittsburgh’s front office has done enough to support Tomlin, or have they put him in tough spots with their decisions over the years?
