Steelers QB Russell Wilson EXPLAINS why Mike Tomlin is the "BEST" coach he's ever had

[@justinduque441]

Old Seahawks fan here. I’m super happy for Russ. It seems he has grown up a little since Seattle. Little more humble. Really hope he wins y’all a Super Bowl. Would be a great redemption story.

[@JDC99442]

@@justinduque441 born in Seattle but fell in love with the Steelers as a kid in the 70s. Very happy to have Russ join the team.

[@RandallGrams]

@@justinduque441 I’m soo tired of hearing this humble crap! Russ has not changed, only the perception. He has been fundamentally the same guy for the last 15 years!

[@austin4095]

@@RandallGrams 100 percent agree!

[@pjmiller8632]

He was alwsys humble. There was a toxic contingent on social media who were not 12's, who clearly started a mission of hate campaign against Russ that he never deserved. I'm a fan of Russ, wherever he plays. He never deserved what he endured the past few years. So glad to see him on a team he can win another Bowl with.

[@RandallGrams]

@ Agreed! But it wasn’t just the non 12’s. So many people today are easily influenced, and will turn on their former heroes at the first perceived set back. I was astounded how quickly he went from hero to goat. It was like they completely forgot everything he showed the first 8 years!

[@Kevbarr-b9m]

Afc hard knocks with Tomlin is a must see. It shows how great of a coach Tomlin is for the Steelers.

[@aflyingducky]

Its craazyy the kind of and amount of leadership Russell brings to this. Its like night and day.

[@Recon6delta]

@@aflyingducky absolutely agree 100%

[@bane1240]

Agreed. Whats weird is its more/different than Bens leadership but obviously better than Picketts was. Strange to me though that Wilson would think Tomlin was his best coach. Carol beat Tomlin in every matchup Wilson played between the 2 teams.

KP was such thumb sucker. Wasnt ready for the big time. Talk about a bad Steeler pick

[@SREInvestments]

@bane1240 it's not about the game it's the way Tomlin talks with his guys and how he treats them . Thata why so many players wants to play for him

[@KushiteComplex]

I LOVE how Russ embraces the Steeler code of humble excellence and "The Standard" to which Coach Tomlin references. 😊

[@michaelburke5907]

Boy, so many people assumed Russel was washed up when he played for Denver. Goes to show what a change of venue can do for a player. In some ways, especially in the mental aspects, he is at the top of his game .

[@shinski8114]

so many ppl said the steelers were not a good team they will be 6-11 at best which blew my mind

Dude sounds like Tomlin... Love it. :-)

[@sbaoriginalman]

Peace…Little known fact: Coach Mike Tomlin is from or connected to The Great Coach Chuck Noll coaching tree by way of Coach Tony Dungy: He (Tony Dungy) got his start in the NFL as a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1977, and then circled back as a coach in 1981. He was a DBs coach for three seasons before taking over as the defensive coordinator in 1984 for five seasons, all under head coach Chuck Noll. Tomlin was hired as the defensive backs coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001 under head coach Tony Dungy, where Tomlin first learned the Tampa 2 defense that he would use in later coaching jobs.

[@noble604]

He did not say Mike Tomlin is the best coach he’s ever had. He simply said CoachT Is the world’s best. He’s very careful and self-aware to praise some of his past coaches, even though he could have made some read-between-the-lines comments about several of them. Yet, even given these alley-oops, he does not dunk on them with underhanded shots. He gives them their flowers while also complimenting Coach Tomlin on his outstanding career and for this, their moment together.

[@jrcc7087]

Well said.

[@squests3139]

It is crazy this guy gets so much hate. I just do not get it.

[@pjmiller8632]

Because people who hate - are the exact opposite of the character of Russell Wilson. Low lifes generally stay low lifes. Russ strives every day to bring the best of himself to the field, and in his own family life away from the field. Everyone should look to Russ as a role model in their own lives.

[@shawnhubbard7056]

If you pay attention, you'll notice people like him are always hated for no reason. Not just in the sports world, either.

Broncos coach is good, but sometimes your philosophy doesn't match with someone. Broncos moving from Russell was a win-win situation for everyone.

[@eboog4333]

@moke_codes Good at paying for bounties and getting suspended for a year. He's a terrible human being.

[@ehansbrough593]

@@moke_codes Sean Payton used to be a good play caller - he hasn't even been that after Brees retired. He also lacks integrity (e.g., Bountygate with the Saints). He was totally disrespectful to Russ, a future HoFer. You may be upset with a player, but that doesn't mean you get to berate them on national TV - good coaches don't operate like that. Payton thinks that he's an overseer. I lost all respect for him.

[@fmthebaron]

Perennial Pro Bowler Superbowl Champion Winning QB Russell Wilson is the total opposite of the Worst Steelers QB of all time Mitch Trubisky who did nothing but turn the ball over every game and lose games on the Steelers.

Because Tomlin took non-playoff teams into the playoffs. Like, any team that starts Duck Hodges has no business in the playoffs.

[@j33adam92]

Don’t be ungrateful, other fans of teams would die for a coach like tomlin, there’s a reason why we have had him for so long. He is a major reason why we have been great this season so far, and also listen to the way the players speak about him. He’s a great leader
