Bradshaw rips Tomlin: 'Not a great coach at all'

8:25 PM ET

• PITTSBURGH -- Ten years into Mike Tomlin's tenure in Pittsburgh, Terry Bradshaw is not impressed.

Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowls as the Steelers' quarterback from 1970-83, said he has issues with the notion that Tomlin is an elite coach, saying only that he's "a great cheerleader guy."

"I don't think he's a great coach at all," Bradshaw said while a guest on Fox Sports 1's "Speak For Yourself." "He's a nice coach. To me, I've said this, he's really a great cheerleader guy. I don't know what he does. I don't think he is a great coach at all. His name never even pops in my mind when we think about great coaches in the NFL."

Baltimore Ravenson Sunday in Heinz Field. Tomlin is one of eight head coaches in NFL history to win at least 100 games in the first 10 years on the job.

Steelers director of communications Burt Lauten weighed in Friday night in defense of Tomlin.

Tomlin has failed to reach the AFC Championship Game since 2010, but he has never posted a losing record in Pittsburgh and his teams are consistently in contention. Steelers players swear by Tomlin, who has been heavily involved in the rebuilding of a defense that has allowed 14 points per game since Week 11. In 2012, Tomlin hired offensive coordinator Todd Haley, whose Pittsburgh offense has been one of the league's best in recent years.

One knock on Tomlin's teams has been the trend of losing to sub-.500 teams on the road, but Pittsburgh has cleaned that up in recent weeks, with road wins over Cleveland, Indianapolis, Buffalo (then-.500) and Cincinnati.

Handful of great coaches in NFL the HC position is weakest it's been in long time bums galore all over the league . I'm really supposed to believe Gary kubiak is some great coach cause he has a ring stooges like Jim Caldwell Chuck Pagano and John Harbaugh allegedly good coaches according to casuals
