Mike Tomlin has been a fixture for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but questions about his ability to evolve as an NFL head coach have grown louder. While this is not a call to fire him—acknowledging his accomplishments and stability—it is a critique of his shortcomings,

Mike Tomlin didn't mince words following the Steelers ' 29-10 loss to the Chiefs on Christmas Day. The loss, Pittsburgh's third over an 11 day span, dropped the Steelers to 10-6 and behind the Ravens in the AFC North division standings. It was Pittsburgh's third straight loss by double digits.

If they continue to play like they have these last three weeks, that will not happen. In fact, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin compared the Steelers' play of late to a second-tier high school team.
