Steelers Trade Deadline Focus
The Steelers are at a crossroads, with their trade deadline focus forcing them to choose between head coach Mike Tomlin and a better future.
Mike Tomlin is a capable head coach, considered one of the best in the NFL, but he may have outstayed his welcome in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have not won a playoff game in nearly a decade and seem content with mediocrity, relying on 9-8 talent.
Tomlin's never had a losing record, but for a franchise with multiple Lombardi Trophies, it shouldn't be good enough.
The Steelers are currently leading the AFC North by 1.5 games, but few believe they are a legitimate threat to make a run in the AFC playoffs, leaving them stuck in football purgatory.
Author's summary: Steelers face a choice between Tomlin and a better future.
