The Pittsburgh Steelers went ahead and hired Mike Tomlin as their head football coach, after Tomlin's hiring was announced and denied (by Tomlin) over the weekend.
Tomlin did great work with the Bucs replacing Herman Edwards as the Bucs' secondary coach before leaving last year to take over the defensive coordinator position with the Minnesota Vikings. Tomlin had the Vikings defense performing well, but I had thought him an odd fit in Minnesota because Pittsburgh is not fitted to run the Tampa2.
That problem was addressed by the fact that Dick Lebeau is staying on to run the Pittsburgh defense.
I don't like the Steelers, but I'll hate them slightly less with Tomlin running the team (even if they do well!).
