Despite whatever turmoil might be overshadowing the football portions of the football team knowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers on any particular day, this is still a football organization, full of people with jobs to do. There aren’t many left in the building who have been doing their jobs with the Steelers long than has Kevin Colbert, currently the general manager of the team.
...
Amazingly, in spite of all that, Colbert remains a respected figure around the league, and the latest example of that comes from (take it for whatever it’s worth to you) RotoWorld, whose Patrick Daugherty recently published a list of the top general managers in the league. He ranked Colbert third, behind only Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Howie Roseman of the Philadelphia Eagles.
“Kevin Colbert has been the Steelers’ general manager since 2000. His rosters have won 65.2 percent of their games, second to only Bill Belichick’s Patriots Death Star”, Colbert’s entry in the article begins. “The last time Pittsburgh finished below .500 was 2003. Impressive, unassailable”.
But “keeping it going will require overcoming some heady issues”, he added, arguing that Head Coach Mike Tomlin “finally lost control of an ever-volatile locker room” and arguing that Ben Roethlisberger “started” the fire.
“Colbert responded by extending his quarterback through 2021. Roethlisberger’s blank check complicates Colbert’s most pressing question — is Tomlin still the right man to lead this group of players?”, he asks, saying that Tomlin is paid for what he does in the locker room and not on the field.
