We all knew there would be options for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason when it comes to head coach Mike Tomlin. Despite his postseason struggles, Tomlin’s resume is as good as any in the NFL minus a handful of names so there will always be teams who hope Tomlin’s message will be fresh for their team where it’s gone stale in Pittsburgh.
