He will be accused of having prioritized his sequence of non -losing seasons to take risks of championship caliber. They will say that the game has exceeded it, or that it is not able to make the right rental at the attacking coordinator.
Tomlin is not immune to criticism, but with the support of the Pittsburgh was heading and the reputation of being an elite players’ coach, it is prudent to assume that he will not go nowhere.
Its reputation is part of the reason why Aaron Rodgers chose west of Pennsylvania during an additional year of retirement to Malibu. Their relationship quickly became one of the most important in the organization.
The former Steelers’ corner half, Joe Haden, revealed the key to Tomlin and Rodgers getting along.

“You just have to be an adult, go there, be honest,” Haden said on “Up & Adams with Kay Adams.“” Coach Tomlin does an excellent job to be able to establish real and authentic relationships with people. Me and he had a relationship where you could speak … One thing he is going to do, he will be obviously honest with you, so you just need to be honest with him.
“The coach Tomlin is so real. There are no stuffed animals, there is no false, so when he tells you something, he wants it.
Rodgers delighted Tomlin in his introductory meter. His Green Bay packers beat Pittsburgh in the only super bowl of Rodgers, and the curriculum vitae of the coach speaks of himself.
His status as a faithful is significant, in particular compared to the last stop of Rodgers, when the head coach of the New York Jets, Robert Saleh, was dismissed in October. Rodgers was invited to save his second team. In Pittsburgh, he will join a ready list for the playoffs with important expectations and consistency to justify them.

With Tomlin in the building, Rodgers will not redefine the cultivation of Pittsburgh. But he will define his campaign in 2025, and he is the best Tomlin to competition.
