A man who needs no introduction...we have a great one for you today with an extended version of this episode and more to come during the week!
In a rare sit down appearance, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach, Mike Tomlin joins The Pivot for a candid conversation talking about impactful moments over the years and sharing untold stories from Super Bowls to coaching dynamic players to inside look of being the NFL's only current black Head Coach.
Ryan, who played for Coach Tomlin, reminisces through their Super Bowl runs and legendary defense the team assembled in the late 2000's while Fred is eager to ask the question of why Coach didn't try to sign him when he became a free agent after all those high yardage games at Heinz Field. In awe of the relationship Mike T has developed his with the men who played for him, Channing enviously asks what is the secret to earning the respect of all and never having a losing season in 15 years.
Continuing the conversation, the guys get into minority hiring around the league and how Brian Flores ended up as part of the current staff after controversy surrounded his release. Coach Tomlin says it was never the intent but describes the addition as a win for the organization to have Flores apart of the coaching regime.
Ryan talks about some of his former Steeler Teammates and asks the specifically noting that this will be the first time in 15 seasons that Tomlin has coached the Steelers he has always had Big Ben at the helm to run his offense and how the team will move forward.
In a lighter moment, Channing asks about the infamous Jacoby Jones return interference which cost Mike T a 100K fine in 2013 as we get the play by play of what really happened that day.
Admiring the legacy Tomlin has formed, Fred, Channing and Ryan all share something special they take from their conversation and the mutual respect they have for his impact on the game.
The Pivot releases new episodes every Tuesday at noon eastern with special drops on Fridays at 3pm est. Audio versions available on Spotify, Apple and all other major platforms.
THIS SHOW IS LONG AS HELL! We figured y’all wouldn’t mind…LETS GOOOO
Every minute was fire! 🔥🔥
I would have watched it even if it was 3 hours. Great show and I always had respect for Tomlin, even though he stepped out on the field in Jacoby's path (Ravens fan). But the respect n how he coaches and what you hear from the players he coached/coaches shows he is a great man.
Naw we don't mind, Fred T. Preciated it
And we loved every minute of it👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥
It went by so quickly! I didn’t want it to end! Great interview!
This interview should be renamed "How To Be A Great Leader" by Mike Tomlin. Seriously, I'm watching it again to hear him break down each nugget of leadership he discusses, the reason behind it and its intended result. This was a free masterclass.
My sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!!
Facts
Saw this comment when I started the pod caught my eye like ok so had to come back and say man I agree 💯 and I’ll prob watch it again too that’s wild.
FACTS
AGREED!
That Tony Dungy story is 🔥. Dope how coach Dungy just being him gave Mike T the reassurance he needed.
Love your channel and content
Sup Flemlo can you cover Kentrell Bell from my hometown Augusta, GA??
Love yo channel bro 💙💯 keep doing yo thang man
That ending though. The last 15 minutes and the last min just… just… wow man
Que the Wayne!
“I coach because I wasn’t as great as I wanted to be as a player.”
One of the most honest statements I’ve ever heard a person say in any profession.💪🏾💯
And he was a really good wr in college
I've watched his highlights from W&M and he did some real damage. I realize the highlight reels only show the good, but his good was pretty exceptional.
Id vote for him for president.
It’s something about this man. Gives me chills, natural born leader personified. Great conversation
Truly an inspirational individual. I dropped everything I was doing
Everytime he speaks. Makes you wanna run through a wall for him. 💪🏾
Literally makes you look in the mirror I need to be a better MAN.
Facts..I get that same vibe from Tomlin. I can see why his players are willing to run thru a wall for him.💯
ikr! got me want to play for him right now. he is special. and when some bullshit reporter comes and ask him about some college job. it's extremely disrespectful and makes you question their angle.
If Mike Tomlin ever sat down to write a book, I am buying it the second it drops. The quote that stuck with me today is,
"You cannot do ordinary things and expect unique resutls". Simple yet powerful quote.
YES!!! 🔥
💯
He has a way with words, he’s no doubt very well read and well spoken… remarkable guy.
Facts!!!!

This is the greatest sports interview I have ever seen. I have learned more about Coach Tomlin and been given greater insight into his coaching and leadership style than 1000 other interviews with him. I'm appreciative of Coach T's openness and forthrightness. In this interview he demonstrates not only what a great coach should be like, but what a great leader and human being should be like. I have always respected Mike Tomlin but seeing this intimate view of him has raised my respect into the stratosphere for him. Looking forward to seeing what the Steelers do this year and looking forward to the day when Mike Tomlin is awarded a gold jacket. I don't want it to come too quickly though, as I want to see him coach the Steelers for decades to come. Go coach T and Go Steelers!
Hi there
I hope this interview gets picked up as example of leadership all over different industries and organizations.
@@haroldredmond7382 I pumpiup
Beautifully stated!!!
💯
Mike Tomlin is one of 3 head coaches the Pittsburgh Steelers have had since 1969. Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher are both in the hall of fame. When it all said and done coach Tomlin will be the third Steeler head coach in the hall of fame.
The fact that they’ve only had those three as head coaches in that time period blows my mind
"I am not seeking that comfort" Mike Tomlin.. a pure leader of humans. A phenomenal episode. The Pivot raises the bar yet again! Well done gentlemen
yes, yet again the Pivot! has raised the bar to another level!!
@@elcapitanjack911S without a doubt. As Mike T would say, "The Standard is the Standard" and the standard is high level executable interviews. Just think of the type of relationship it takes for Mike T to say "All Ryan has to do is call me and I say Yes".
He hasn’t don’t anything since he had Cowhers team. Period .
@@tshady32 🤡🤡
This is one of the best interviews EVER. This dude is as real as they come. He’s a Hall of Famer now. Gotta love him
This is great. Mike T is not only an amazing coach but an amazing man. Mad respect.
Never got over failing
Amen Respect Coach Mike T even more now hearing speak his Mindset 👀
You must be a steelers fan.
@@julianradillo84 most ppl would say same thing regardless of favorite team
@@JBJucie I 👍🏽
As a Bengals fan that hates the Steelers, this guy is impossible not to like!!! One of the greatest coaches of all time.
I feel the same way brah and I'm a Ravens fan
This respect to the fullest. Hats off to both of you
How’d y’all like the L you took this past Sunday? Lol 😝
Same and I’m a Browns fan. You gotta show respect. And just appreciate the Man.
Bengals 0-3 in super bowl games
"I'm gone treat everyone fair , but I won't treat everyone the same"
-Mike T.
Damn what a great quote
"Be who you can afford to be" is another similar quote. There's a reason players like Antonio Brown were treated differently, because they could afford to do it because of their amazing abilities on the football field.
💯
@Black Philip lol you sound like a hater. Or you just started watching football. Mike is 143-92-2. led the team to ten playoff runs, seven division titles, three AFC Championship Games, two Super Bowl appearances, and a title in Super Bowl XLIII. If that's Mediocre then most coaches in NFL HISTORY are LESS than mediocre

“Coaching is real simple to me man. You help players realize their dreams. You help them feed their families. And in turn, you eat.”
-Mike Tomlin
Blows my mind when people say they think Tomlin needs to hang it up in Pittsburg... this interview alone shows you how great of a LEADER this man is and paints a good picture of why that organization has been top tier for so long. Loved this interview great episode !
I've watched this interview like 10 times already. So many leadership gems that can be taken into any field. Coach Tomlin needs to write a book.
Locked in right now. Book coming when retire from coaching.
I'm bout to run it back right now.
You right about that. Love his positive antidotes. 🙂👍🏾👍🏾
I come back often to make sure I'm moving right. The gems don't get old.
Fred T was hanging on to every last word. Looked like he was about to suit up for the Steelers if Mike said the word. True goat and inspiration!
fred t a real og he know when he need to shut up and learn
He said he waited 14 years to talk to him lol
Would have loved for him to be added to the RB group we had at that time
Cool nick 😉
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE PRIME FRED TAYLOR & NAJEE!!! Lmao Wishful thinking tho😭😭😭😭we'd win 16 SBs
Coach Mike Tomlin, Mr. Fred Taylor, Mr. Channing Crowder, & Mr. Ryan Clark, Thank you for your time.
Dude! you guys keep knocking out homerun shows. Major respect to coach Tomlin.
Watching this interview again on 1-9-2023. Went 9-7 with Tribisky AND Pickett. NEVER had a losing season. Best coach in the league. This team will be dangerous in the next two years.
Sat down thinking I’d only watch like 5 minutes of this video…it’s an hour and half later and I have no regrets. Coach T the man!
“Don’t seek comfort.” Great saying Coach Tomlin. Great interview.
What an absolute gift to us, having Coach Tomlin on, and an outstanding conversation!!!!! The Pivot, you continue to push the bar higher. Bravo! Nothing else needs to be said.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All the comments below speak for me. First time I heard Coach Tomlin speak I was wow!! I was very happy with his hiring ans the two previous coach with the Steelers. Three successful coach in 50 Years??Yes I hope Mike Tomlin will coach as long as hes comfortable the Steelers future is his legacy!!! THANK YOU COACH TOMLIN COMIN' TO THE BURG !!!
Tomlin is a great communicator, he understands knowing people is a huge part of coaching.
I can tell that RC is a genuinely great guy by the number of guests that speak so positively about their relationship with him. The relationships go way back and he can always call in a favor. I think that’s part of the reason we are seeing some of these guests.
They always mention being fans of the show so I’d imagine it’s genuinely 50/50
Extremely well said T. Shand.Great comment&i 132%.Straight up.JC in LA CA
Ryan Clark One of the realest dudes
They’re frat brothers .. the bond is just different
The Standard is the Standard.💯 Coach T. dropped gem after gem.
He damn sure did. I went back and wrote them down.
@@deangelostarnes1795 Writing his gems down is great idea.
He dropped nothing but jewels. He confirmed what I already knew..he's one hell of a leader and a motivator of men.
my favorite quote I need on a shirt
I see you Chris 🙌🏽
"How can you expect unique results, without unique relationships" -Mike T . great quote
"When you're a coach, and you're talking about how one of your players can't learn, you're seeking comfort, because what that really shows is that you can't teach." Man. Coach T's philosophy about owning all responsibility he can control is inspiring. Imagine how far everyone's career (and life) would go if they had that same philosophy.
Such a real quote mahn. Wow
Its called owning it...being accountable and not to make excuses why you cant...figure out how to say i can...this is 1 giant issue our younger generation has now...never made to be accountable...always someone elses fault
just listening to him talk is inspirational no matter what race religion etc u are
Look up Extremely ownership by Jocko Wilink. Same concept is used by Navy Seal offers to lead and win.
@@rktsnail yessir
“How can you expect unique results without unique relationships?” 🔥🔥🔥
Mike Tomlin is a legend. I'd run through a wall for that man, and I'm a Chiefs fan!
Chiefs fan here as well and I agree!
FACTORIAL and I'm a Chiefs fan too.
Respect! 💯💪🏾
Steeler Fan Here Appreciate You Guys For That He Gets A Lot Of Crap Sometimes 💯💪🏾
Coach Tomlin is that dude. I met him at a gas station in Pittsburgh. Great guy!!!!
I was in Afganistan when Coach T was hired as the Pittsburgh Steeler head coach, I'll never forget what I said to Top and all other NCO's. "That man just got the most stable job in the NFL" Man, was I correct. Love you Mike, and thank you for all the hard work you put in. Steeler Nation for Life
I'm not a Steelers fan by any means but the interview was one of the best yet. He is definitely a true leader of men and very respectful towards people. I agree with Ryan when said the story needs to include coach and he is going to the Hall of Fame!!
I could have literally kept listening for another 2 hours. Awesome interview. Coach Tomlin is truly a king of warriors. I’m truly proud to have him as the coach of my favorite team for so long.
ikr!
A future hall of fame coach. It is an honor to have him coach the team i love, the Steelers.
Bro I swear I wish it went on
These podcast amazing all them
Mike Tomlin isn't just a hall of fame coach. Which he will be. He is a hall of fame human. A man of God. A loving husband and father. I had mad respect for him before. It has grown exponentially. Because of this interview. Seeing him outside of just being coach. I absolutely loved this interview.
@@blackphilip8936 All that is true. I don't doubt the validity of your statement. But regardless of all that. Watch and see. He will be enshrined into the pro football hall of fame. You may not like it. but it will happen.
Mike Tomlin should have 4 superbowls. He's outcoached in the playoffs.
Some of his quotes have wonderful application to not just coaching, but teaching, parenting, managing people, etc. Solid life advice in general. "Seeking comfort" instead of working on your teaching/approach, "don't run from [it], run TO it," there's no cookie-cutter approach for a developmental timeline, but everybody knows when you're out of time!
@@williamlyons3947 If you still think that after magnificent coaching job this year. well no need to discuss this any further.
@@williamlyons3947 what the hell you talking about. he's taken a very young team with a rookie qb. All the skill positions are in the rookie contracts. they've won 6 out of 8 and 5 out of the last 6. He's never had a losing record. this team was written off in pre season. they are in the playoff hunt. This is only on his great coaching.
This was an amazing interview. Coach Tomlin is a terrific human. He will be in the hall when he is done. His purpose is so much bigger than football and it's beautiful to see. I wish I was able to meet him.
Hopefully you get to meet him one day
Solid salute👑🙌🏼💎💖💛🌉💫🗺🕊
He would make a good POTUS
I can't put into words how powerful this show is. In this day... In THIS age... Absolute gold. I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE, you all can get Ray Lewis on this platform. The way you all allow your guests to speak openly and freely..... THAT would be Platinum.
Keep up the great work! Thank God for you all!
At the rate this show is going it’s inevitable at this point. If you can get Mike Tomlin then everybody else is a possibility. Shit, Bill Belichick might come on at this point lol
Ray will give the world chills in a space like this
Leave ray fake @$* where he is. That dude is so disingenuous
@@lashaphillips9919 Ray went commercial so fast....and this is a MIAMI HURRICANES FAN who has never seen another LB as great as Ray in college or the NFL since.... Ed Reed and them boy's stay true to what it is but Ray......😮💨
@@omgeohyou may have missed the part where RC and Tomlin said they were boys. That’s his bro. Mike doesn’t do any interviews except with former players like RC or Pat Mcafee who he has a personal connection with. They aren’t bringing on random people they are bringing people they are close with . Bill isn’t friends with a soul so he won’t be on.
This is an instant classic before the show even airs! Amped for this one for sure. I’m saying this every week in my head though 😂
Me too!
Excited to see if they ask about his 98% hiring only whites
Bruh you ain't lying . This is one I could not wait for !
Absolutely!
💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
You can’t do ordinary stuff and expect unique results
-Coach Mike T💎
Mike Tomlin is THE STANDARD Period Hands down. How he conducts himself is that of a man with character at a high level. He is doing things right. Forever a fan of Mike Tomlin. Anyone NO MATTER SKIN COLOR should look up to this man, and being even half the man he is will change this world in a better way. Amazing interview. Hope to see more coaches, would love to see you interview Bill Belichek next lol.
This was the best leadership class; I have ever had in my life. This podcast was perfect for me before I pivot my career to being a Sales Engineering Leader. Thank you fellas. I needed this one.
Man agree this help with being a better father, husband, business man and minister…
Mike T Is The G.O.A.T
I was saying the same thing!!! This is a MASTERCLASS in leadership!!! They don’t miss!!
I was thinking the same thing... I'm like, this dude is every personal development/leadership book all rolled into one.
You are absolutely right. The best class on leadership I've seen in years!!
One of the best interviews of the show thus far! Anybody else feel like running through a wall right now for this man?!?! Loved this!
Yup! He would've been a great coach to play for.
I've been a lifelong Steelers fan and watched Tomlin his whole career with the team. I always wondered what magic he had to be able to get mediocre at best teams to overperform (and that's no diss to Tomlin or any of the squads he's had, that's just the way the NFL is designed, no team is supposed to always be good, the Pats dynasty was a freakish exception to the rule) and now hearing him talk and explain his philosophy in detail I get it, it isn't just that he's a dude that NFL players would run through a wall for, that's obviously part of it, but he's a master in a way I never really grasped until now and building a crazy level of chemistry (which is really impressive with some of the distractions the poor guy has had to deal with) to the point that elevated some of these teams to a higher level of play than they should reasonably have been able to see. That's an incredibly unique skill being able to forge a collective so strong they're able to play above and beyond what they should reasonably have been able to do. He might have his weak spots, like literally every other great coach, but holy shit I thought I got it before but watching this....it makes sense now. No wonder Tomlin is the one coach that basically everyone wants to play with at least once before they retire, I would too shit..
facts
This is the most I’ve heard Coach T talk! This dude is f’n real! A warrior’s mentality! Love it!
God I’d run through a brick wall for this man. I’m proud as a Steelers fan that he’s the coach of the franchise.
As a Bears fan, I’d run through a brick wall for this man
I'm a Texan born and raised. Diehard cowboys fan from the sixties. So the feelings I have toward the Pittsburgh Steelers and the organization, need I say more; however, Mike Tomlin is without a doubt that dude. Because of his approach to the game of football and how he goes about his business makes it hard for me to not root for him and his success. Nothing but mad respect for this brotha. What a friggin piece of work this is. Thanks for the interview PIVOT. ✊🏿 The producers of your show should probably holla at Netflix or HBO. Make'em cut tha check. If the Shop doing it, so can you.
One Cowboy fan to another, I echo your comments. After seeing this, this right here, I am so PISSED that Dallas didn't grab this man....
This interview gave me chills, insight, and wisdom. Great interview as a man from Pittsburgh I cherish having Coach T as our Coach. Love this brotha and everything he stands for. 💯💯
I swear great man I swear
Browns fan here, I've always respected 💯 Mr. TOMLIN 10 toes down 👊🏽
Literally the best podcast interview I've ever listened to. As a leader in my own workspace I've learned so much from this man. It's a no Brainer why players respect him so much
FACTS!!!!!
👊🏿
@@williamotey6707 l
I used to lead Marines with the same philosophies that Coach T has.
Agreed!!!
Hands down, this is one of the best sports interviews I’ve ever seen. Ryan, Fred and Channing did a phenomenal job of asking insightful questions that allowed Coach Tomlin to share some amazing stories. When you consider all the great veterans on the 2009 Super Bowl team (e.g. Debo, Troy, etc.) and then hear Coach T say he went to Lamar Woodley to turn the tide in the quarter in SB XLIII, his ability to bring out the best in his players puts him the rarefied air of great coaches/leaders.

Met Fred and Ryan on Friday, very humble people in real life. They greeted me like I was family;will definitely continue to support them!
thats super cool JN!
One of my favorite people on the whole planet- Colts fan
As a Baltimore Ravens fan I love this. I know all about Harbaugh etc but to get to know another brotha who coaches a team I’m not a fan of and still be able to enjoy and understand the man he is instead of the coach, it’s powerful! Salute
My favorite rival. I love our competition we always give a show to each side whether win or loss but we respect one another.
The only difference between the Ravens and the Steelers is where they are on I70
Both great Organizations . The best rivalry in football
Ravens
Respect the hell out that organisation and the people within it.
Most rivals are born when two entities see themselves in each other
Ravens Steelers Best rivalry in the NFL Period
Huge Respect between both
I bleed black and Gold I have my favourite Steelers past and present
That said Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are on my Mt Rushmore 😀
I am a Ravens fan and I feel the same way.
Great read BR!!
Fred Taylor would have looked amazing in Black and Gold....a true NFL Legend!
This should be the highest viewed podcast of the year across all genres. This is a brilliant illustration of the parallels between Life and Football. Definitely has rewatch value.
This video should be shown to everyone who has been hired in management at any level. He said something key… fight for them because they want fight for you! When a manager understands that when their employees feel appreciated and supported they will bust their behinds for you. They don’t want to let you down, knowing you want them to succeed.
I have been a Steeler fan since the 70's and to see this podcast with Coach Tomlin was not only inspiring as a black man but as a person dealing with life.
"I don't run away from coaching, I run to coaching" love that
I’m 53 years old. My Steelers have had 3 HCs since I was born. 3!!!!! In 53 years!!! Some teams have had 3 in a season!! That’s STABILITY!!!! Tell em coach T!!! What an amazing organization and what an amazing man.
Stability is everything.
Mike T is the best coach in NFL by his integrity passion for game and his character to mold these guys as men off field then players! If I have a young man coming out of college I want to have him taught by this legend whom I have so much respect for he’s so real and genuine I T drives me crazy to hear fire him cause we didn’t win a playoff game it’s not just about that it’s about the young men he is molding he cares so much about his guys that’s number one for him
Holy Smokes. I swear my life experience IQ just powered up a little listening to Mike Tomlin. So much knowledge & even better at delivering it in an easy way to digest.
RC was an amazing pick for this show. Best show hands down and this was awesome to see what true leadership is. We all have coaches but this is a TRUE coach. Someone that leads by example, wants the best and gets the best out of his men.
Coach Mike Tomlin gave a masterclass in leadership. Dope, dope interview!
I see why he has the respect of his players. What he says makes sense. It's simple, and clear. He sounds like a real coach. This interview could be a manual for the psychology of coaching. Seriously. Much respect coach.
I'm a diehard Browns fan. HATE the Steelers. But I've never been able to even dislike Coach Tomlin. And this fantastic interview reminds me why. He's not only a great coach, but a great example for young men. Respect, Hard Work, Accountability. All lessons that seem rare these days. Excellent interview.
Mike T is one of the greatest coaches ever. He literally makes other men wanna fight for him on the field. Pure greatness 😤🙏🏼
casuals wont agree but real football fans know this guy is easily t7 all time.
I’m born and raised in Pittsburgh and definitely black and gold till I die BUT Tomlin is far from a great coach. We should have more rings if he were. His in game coaching has ALWAYS been horrible so longevity, due to Rooney offering stability, doesn’t make u great because had he been on any other team he would have been fired. Mean looks, and growling doesn’t make u a great coach Belichick owns him.
@@financialhorizons4047 go play in the Highway
Muphuka, Belichick owned the entire LEAGUE with Brady running that offense. Tomlin’s in game adjustments and clock management have bothered me at times. I’ve been a Steelers fan all my life back to the great 70’s teams. But you’re lying to yourself & everyone else saying that the man isn’t a great coach & leader. The Rooney family realizes that, so you don’t have to. No losing seasons ain’t just a fluke.
@@financialhorizons4047 there's no need for that negativity here man. You're entitled to your opinion but after all the injuries and drama he's had to put up with to still not have a losing season is hall of fame worthy
Mike Tomlin is a leader and I see why guys will run through a wall for him. When he talks you listen. Inspiration 🔥🔥
2/23. I’ve watched this interview more times than I remember. And each time is richer than the last.
Oh my God! The leadership nuggets this man is dropping! Pivot Podcast is another level! Great episode!!!!!
Wow! Mary you are beyond RIGHT!!!
RC’s closing remarks about Coach Tomlin was everything. 🔥🔥🔥well another dope show complete.
He's a king among warriors, showing them the way by harnessing their strengths! How do you not want to fight for a man like Coach T! I'd throw pads on and run through a damn wall if he said so! He makes me proud to be a Steeler fan!
Wow! This confirms that Coach T. is an amazing human being. I see players run through a wall for him. Who won't want to play for a coach like this. I am a FAN!
“We have a job to do! Football is a game the business is winning!” By far my favorite quote🙌🏽

Gem after gem
We do not care....
@@GoSuMonSteR I forever say “we do not care” in Coach T’s voice every time.
As much acknowledgement as he gets as a coach, he's still incredibly underrated as a man and a leader of men. He could lead any corporation in the world if he were involved in it. Nobody is daydreaming when Mike Tomlin is speaking.
15:28 hit me deep. As a former player, I completely agree with that. Especially if your playing career was not what you envisioned. Living vicariously through your players.
Thank you so much I've been a loyal steelers fan for 52 years and Mr. Clark you was a great steeler. I've always respected Mike and knew that he was a great coach, man,human being but this hour and a half put all this way up. I love you the steelers and the greatest coach black or white and I'm so lucky to have the privilege to sit and watch what every other team's fans can only wish they had what steeler nation has. Mike Tomlin
Thank you for taking the time Coach. A great man - proud to have him represent Steeler nation with such class .👍🏻
Really enjoyed getting to know Mike Tomlin thru this interview. Can understand why players enjoy playing for him. He respects all❤️
Forget football, Mike T is a man's Man! Also, love to see black men giving flowers to each other and saying 'I love you'. Respect to all! Love hearing these raw stories! The Pivot did it again!
Mike Tomlin is a class act. The Steelers have a great coach, and a awesome human being.
@@blackphilip8936 He won two. 1 as DB coach with Tampa. The other as head coach of the Steelers.
As a Steelers fan since the BC era , I am so happy to call Mike T our coach. He's such a good man on and off the field. He is a steeler blood in and blood out. THANK YEW COACH.
Mike Tomlin IS THE STANDARD! Straight, no chaser is him as a man Just an amazing cat.
Tomlin is just a natural-born leader! This was another great interview! Great job guys!
How can anyone just not love Mike T. The man is a born leader of men.
Been a fan from day 1. Been a Steeler fan since Knoll showed up in 69. Tomlin represents in my opinion the best that the NFL has to offer and not just that but the very best of what this world has to offer. I'm a Pittsburgh native and I relate 100% to his work ethic and his approach to the game of football and life cause that's what Pittsburghers are all about.
I admire his leadership. Straight no chaser.
Agree 💯!!
I'm a Panther's Fan but I've always had respect for Coach Tomlin. This platform is on fire!
What a great conversation. Always respected Mike Tomlin from afar. When I saw people criticizing him, like Terry Bradshaw, I just shook my head and thought, "you have no idea how good you've got it. Dude is a future HOF head coach."
I’m 15 minutes in and this is the best interview already. Not a Steelers fan but this man is real.
1) RC asks deep questions. 2)That's the most relaxed I've ever seen Mike T. 3) This was one of the best interviews I've seen. Much knowledge dropped...by everyone. Much props to the fellas and Coach.
As a ravens fan i really enjoyed this interview. Always respected the rivalry and Mike Tomlin as a coach.
most def! we respect the ravens! hard nose football between the steelers and ravens
💯
I remember my first ever steelers game it was against the ravens. I just remember talking shit to you Ravens fans with those stupid birds on your head😂😂🤣 But nah for real it's all love
Facts
Thank you from a steeler
The best interview EVER! There were so many nuggets of wisdom that Mike Tomlin dropped. This interview gave so much insight into why he is held in high regards by his players, opposing players and other coaches.
GREAT INTERVIEW! I Love this channel
Supported MT cause of his hue. But god that interview made me huge fan of the person. Dude is a real leader and a real stand up man. We need more like him in the culture and in communities
This is how you change the negative narrative when a person brings up AB. Yeah he got issues but we all do. Whats the stuff nobody talks about. Thanks Mike for spotlighting the positive of another black man
@airess1 Absolutely. No one is as bad as the evil they've done or as good as the great they've accomplished.
Hell of a coach and a seemingly even better human being, Love this podcast and what these gentlemen are doing!
You can see everyone listening so attentively at Mike . This was yet another Banger podcast . Thanks Guys !
Always wanted to hear Coach T speak on the Flores hire. I’m a lifelong Steelers fan and applaud coach T for his views on things.
Definitely one of the best interviews of the Podcast. These dudes have definitely pivoted in the right direction and love the show.
I still sometime watch IAm but I think Brandon screwed up something special.
Yo, ya'll got Mike T. on the Show! That's crazy. One of the best coaches in the league! Steelers all day! "I'm looking for volunteers, not hostages..."
I use that quote in corporate trainings and managers eat it up, lol! I give credit to the coach whenever I do though..
@@thewinnersedgecoaching it's a classic now. Mike T's Quotables...
Yes sir Steelers all day 24/7
Great Quote ! I need that on a T Shirt !! 🤣🤣😭
@@shaunbell8325 he transcends and represents much more than just a Steelers coach . I'm fired up just watching this
I manage Medical Billing team and I am going to apply some of what I learned from this incredible coach to my day to day. One of my FAVORITE interviews!
it is now 1:42am on 7/28/2022 and I told myself 28mins into the video i would finish it tomorrow 1hr and 29mins later, I could not pull myself away from the screen. This podcast has touched me in ways i didn't think this interview could. This was a must watch and worth every minute of me losing sleep. This is what coaching is all about.
It's 2:01 am on 1/9/2023 and as an business owner , this has been eye opening ❤
