Mike Tomlin: The Players' Coach
Mike Tomlin went from "winning with Bill Cowher's players" to becoming a "cheerleader coach" to today - keeping a Steelers team that's dealt with more than any other in the NFL alive with a 8-5 record. In a season that shouldn't be, Mike Tomlin has lead a group of players many waived off to a chance at a playoff birth.
How? By being Tomlin. Known as a players' coach his entire career, the Steelers' leader has earned the respect of his players throughout the years by delivering that same respect back.
And this season, it's the biggest reason the Pittsburgh Steelers are walking into Week 15 with a chance to move up in the playoff race - again.
