Just did the math, and Tomlin is 55-25 in the regular season in his first 5 years. Three of the past four seasons the Steelers have won 12 games. Pretty damn good huh? Anyone ever done better?

Wow, what a question. Do you know how much math and calculations that would take!

Are you wanting just first 5 years of a coaching career?

A quick peek at Winning % of coaches that have coached 50 games or more shows that Mike Tomlin is ranked the highest in Winning % of active coaches, at .684 and is 8th all time if he quit right now.

Next active are as follows:
John Harbaugh, .683
Mike Smith .667
Mike McCarthy . 653
Bill Belichick .642
Sean Payton .642
Andy Reid .607

I wonder if fans thought Chamberlin was too predictable with his use of Jim Thorpe...

Since 1970, he only John Madden who has a better winning percentage than Tomlin.

And Ben is now 80-33.

Most were ok with him but the Bulldogs should have fired their offensive coordinator.

Even then, fans probably thought he passed too much.

Wouldn't mine home thawing that red flag a little more. Other then that I love the guy!

It was a lot panic to Mike Tomlin when the Steelers had five losses in a row in 2009.

But the Steelers have a 25-8 record since.

Vince Lombardi was 50-15-1 in his first 5 seasons. I don't think anyone will ever beat that. And he took over a team that only won 1 game the season before his arrival. Hard to make an argument against him being the greatest coach ever.

Shula was pretty close at 50-17-3 though.

Oh and Cowher was 53-27 in his first 5 seasons.
