What's Next For The Pittsburgh Steelers And Coach Mike Tomlin?

After a 21-18 loss to the Patriots on Thursday Night Football, fans and analysts alike are wondering what's next for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers.
In this story:

The Bleav in Steelers podcast, hosted by Ike Taylor and Mark Bergin, reached its 300th episode with a special guest appearance by Dave Dameshek, the host of "Minus Three" and "Gridiron Gut Check" podcasts. 

Dave Dameshek wasted no time diving into the conversation, posing an intriguing question: What if it's not just about the Steelers moving on from Mike Tomlin, but also about Tomlin wanting to move on from the Steelers? This perspective added a new layer of complexity to the debate surrounding Tomlin's tenure in Pittsburgh.

Ike Taylor, the former Steelers cornerback, brought up a valid point by referencing Rich Eisen's view on the matter. Eisen's perspective was clear: If Coach Tomlin decided to part ways with the Steelers, he'd have no shortage of suitors in the coaching market. Dave Dameshek, however, countered this argument by emphasizing that a coach's availability should not be the sole determinant of their future with a team.

The conversation continued to heat up as Ike Taylor posed a challenge to Dave Dameshek, asking for at least three names that could potentially replace Mike Tomlin if he were to leave. This question put the spotlight on potential successors, a topic that has piqued the curiosity of many Steelers fans. The Steelers come into this Saturday's game against the Colts on the road as 2.5-point underdogs according to BetOnline.
