Art Rooney II knows the Pittsburgh Steelers have problems. The team’s longtime president doesn’t think his head coach is one of them.
Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II has come to the defense of head coach Mike Tomlin, stating that he doesn’t believe Tomlin is one of the team’s problems. The Steelers have faced various issues, including a disappointing playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Rooney II’s comments come as a vote of confidence in Tomlin, who has been with the Steelers since 2007. Despite the team’s struggles, Rooney II believes that Tomlin is not the root of the problem.
The Steelers have faced criticism for their performance, particularly in the playoffs. However, Rooney II’s statement suggests that the team’s issues are more complex and multifaceted, requiring a more nuanced solution than simply replacing the head coach.
Tomlin has been a staple of the Steelers’ organization for over 15 years, leading the team to multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory in 2009. While the team’s recent struggles have raised questions about Tomlin’s future, Rooney II’s comments indicate that the head coach remains a key part of the organization’s plans.
