The Steelers have absolutely embarrassed Indianapolis every time they've played for the last what? 3 years?
I was disgusted with the showing Pittsburgh put up against New England in the Title game this year, but Pittsburgh is still the only team in the conference that has enough of their shit together to challenge New England.
Tomlin essentially has Pittsburgh playing at the same level his predecessor did. Almost every year they are in the discussion and they consistently make deep playoff runs. They still dominate the AFC North and they still get the better of both their competent rivals (Baltimore/Cincinnati).
He hasn't been fired because he's good at his fucking job. Pittsburgh fans have no reason to stop buying tickets, that team may be more exciting now than it was when they won the superbowl.
