Mike Tomlin wins over critics in debut of Hard Knocks

The latest season of Hard Knocks debuted on Tuesday night on HBO and while all four AFC North teams were represented, one man stole the show. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin showed exactly why so many Steelers fans love him and we are willing to bet he won over plenty of critics as well.

Watching Tomlin interact with wide receiver George Pickens and edge rusher Nick Herbig gave everyone a great look behind the curtain as to why so many players want to come to Pittsburgh and will run through a wall for him.

Tomlin even opened up the team meeting on Thanksgiving by opening his home to any players who didn’t have anywhere to be on the holiday.

2024 marks Tomlin’s 18th season as the Steelers head coach. It also marks his 18th straight season without a losing record. During his tenure with the Steelers Tomlin is 182-102-2, has made the playoffs 11 times and won a Super Bowl.
