let's be real these nfl owners/gms already know who they want and will hire. You give the he interviews poorly as an excuse so you have something to fall back and not look bad because you want a cac that looks like my son don't he jethro as your coach.
Literally the only black coach who doesn't get fired in 5 years is coaching for the team where the owner (RIP) is the one who brought about the rooney rule.
Steelers have had 3 head coaches in my lifetime. That franchise obviously takes great detail and studying before hiring head coaches.
Tomlin was a young guy when they hired him, but he showed them enough in the interview that they saw that he was that guy.
His coaching record, Superbowl appearances & RING, playoff appearances, and ZERO losing seasons shows that he was indeed that guy.
Your post ignores his success over the past five years (3 out of 5 playoff appearances) and sort of implies that Rooney family is doing him a favor.
No, they're not a kneejerk reaction franchise, and they saw the cloth that Tomlin was cut from, which is why he was hired.
