Even in defeat, Tomlin deserves praise

NEW ORLEANS - If is isn't broken, don't fix it.

That's been Mike Tomlin's motto in his four years as Steelers coach.

Tomlin boasts a style all his own without having a so-callled "system." He's a coach for all seasons who's smart enough to know a good thing when he sees one.

Sunday night, the Steelers squared off against the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in the Superdome. It was another big game for Tomlin, who entered last night's contest having won twice as many games as he's lost (36-18).

Tomlin isn't a resident genius like New Orelans coach Sean Payton, who wants us to know how smart he is. He isn't impulsive like Denver's Josh McDaniels, another young coach. He isn't a friend like Dallas' Wade Phillips, who allowed his players to walk all over him.

If Tomlin has an ego, I haven't seen it.....................

All this doesn't bother me at all. Remember I live around cowboy fans. They whine about everything.

It's a fluff piece.. more just a rundown of the game than anything else.

But even so, a fun read.
