The Hoodie is probably gonna win it but Mike Tomlin's name should at least be...

in the running for Coach of the Year. Why?

Self inflicted or not, no Ben for 4 games. Supposedly after that stretch, the Steelers were supposed to be hoping to just have a winning record.. Never mind making the playoffs. Even further from most people's minds was any type of high seed if they HAPPENED to squeak into the playoffs.

The patchwork line. Every team has injuries. This is true. But the Steelers have only dressed 7 lineman at times for games. In case you don't get it, that means that three people are there to replace ENTIRE line in case of injury. Had significant injury to BOTH lines during the course of the year.

For a coach whose team was supposed to be dead and gone by say Week 7 mathematically due to the Ben situation, Coach T deserves mention for the award. Not to mention we are the division champs and we have a WINNING RECORD that is WELL OVER .500. No one had the Steelers at 12-4. I am not saying I would be mad if he didn't win. I am just saying that he should get some votes or consideration. That's all.

A piece of Coach Tomlin's post game interview.....

Are you going to give it to Mike Wallace that he is more than a one-trick pony?
No. He made the necessary plays for us tonight. This guy has a desire to have a complete game. We kid about it. He’s a young man in development. I like where he is right now, but he is capable of more. I think he’s got the same approach to it and he’s going to continue to work. I like a guy that is producing plays to help us win, but at the same time I understand that there is more out there for him. He’s a young guy; he’s a talented guy. He’s got a desire to be a great player and he works at it every day. On Sundays you sometimes see the fruits of that labor, and hopefully it continues.
Is James Farrior sometimes overlooked because of other defensive players?
We have a lot of Alpha-males in our locker room. He’s the unquestioned leader of our football team. I think that’s all you can say about James Farrior. He does it all for us, inside the white lines and outside the white lines. He’s a professional, he’s a competitor, he’s a leader and they follow.
