Is Tomlin holding the Steelers back? Is it the other way around? Could it be both? There's much more to this story than the obvious.

Rumors suggesting the Pittsburgh Steelers could move on from head coach Mike Tomlin this offseason surfaced before Pittsburgh suffered a 28-14 wild-card playoff loss to the rival Baltimore Ravens this past Saturday.

The Steelers' last playoff win came at the end of the 2016 NFL season, meaning a Tomlin-coached team has not advanced in the postseason throughout the previous eight seasons. Over his 18-year career as a head coach, he has won a playoff game in just four seasons.
