First off, who thought Matt Canada had the credentials of an NFL coach and hired him? "Winning" with the problems you helped create isn't a ringing endorsement.Mike Tomlin wins NFL games with Duck Hodges, Mason Rudolph, and Kenny Pickett playing under one of the worst offensive coordinators in recent NFL history.
Tomlin wasn't going to be fired, but he wouldn't get a contract renewal and likely go into 2024 a lame duck if the Steelers' freefall to 7-10. Now there's talk of extending him beyond 2025.
We have no idea the magnitude of how much Mason Rudolph rescued Tomlin. After the Colts debacle Tomlin had no answers left and his hand was forced after seeing Trustinky trash another season. He personally gets no credit for it because he thought Mitch Trubisky was a better option than both him and Pickett, but congratulations all the same for keeping the standard. Mediocrity.
