It was going to happen.
If the Steelers have a worse finish and look even worse in 2014 than in 2013, then Tomlin is on the hot seat. Going 8-8 after such a catastrophic start last year and a missed Ryan Succop FG away from the postseason no less won Tomlin some more time in Pittsburgh.
Until the Steelers are wallowing in Sub-.500 records for the forseeable future, Tomlin isn't going anywhere.
