In a stunning revelation, Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II dropped a bombshell in a recent interview, leaving fans and pundits alike speechless.
When asked about the future of head coach Mike Tomlin, Rooney II made a shocking admission: “We’re not committed to Mike Tomlin beyond this season.”
The statement sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, as Tomlin has been the Steelers’ head coach since 2007 and has led the team to two Super Bowl championships.
While Rooney II was quick to praise Tomlin’s accomplishments, he also made it clear that the team’s disappointing performance this season has put Tomlin’s job in jeopardy.
“Mike Tomlin is a great coach, but we need to see improvement on the field,” Rooney II said. “If we don’t make the playoffs this season, we’ll have to take a hard look at our coaching staff and make some tough decisions.”
The news has left Steelers fans reeling, with many taking to social media to express their shock and disappointment.
“This is a disaster,” tweeted @SteelersNation4Life. “Mike Tomlin is the heart and soul of this team. We can’t lose him!”
Others are calling for Tomlin’s head, citing the team’s poor performance this season.
“It’s time for a change,” tweeted @SteelCurtain88. “Tomlin’s had his chance, and he’s blown it. Let’s bring in some fresh blood!”
The Steelers organization has yet to comment on Rooney II’s statement, but it’s clear that the future of Mike Tomlin is uncertain.
What do you think, Steelers Nation? Should Mike Tomlin be fired, or does he deserve another chance?
