PITTSBURGH (93.7 The FAN) - The Steelers are 7-0, the lone undefeated team left in the league and deserving all sorts of praise across the league.
Mike Tomlin though has yet to really enter Coach of the Year conversations, but our 93.7 The FAN NFL Insider John Clayton told The PM Team that's not the case with him.
"Tomlin not only has them back in the mix for the playoffs, but now the mix for the number one seed being 7-0. That's why I think Tomlin, at the midseason mark, is the coach of the year."
Clayton also talked about the type of coaches who typically win the award and why it doesn't always go to the most deserving coach.
"It's usually the first year coach or second year coach that makes the biggest improvement."
