During Tuesday’s press conference, a probe about his job security came up.
“I’ve been in the hot seat for 19 years,” Tomlin told reporters. “I always feel like I have something to prove. Not necessarily to anyone in particular, but that’s the mindset I take into my professional life.”
As external pressures mounted last week, former stars Ben Roethlisberger and James Harrison raised concerns, suggesting it may be time for a shift. Fans echoed this discontent as the Steelers struggled to find their rhythm on either side of the field.
Pittsburgh prepares for another crucial matchup as they host the Dolphins in Week 15. This game is pivotal for both teams. The Steelers are 7-6, while Miami surprises at 6-7. Pittsburgh enters as a slight favorite, only by three points.
Tomlin anticipates a vibrant atmosphere for the occasion.
“I expect the fans to show up,” he said. “It’s Monday Night Football in Acrisure. It’s going to be a big game.”
It will indeed be significant. If the Steelers falter again on national television, the chorus of boos could amplify all over once more.
