Why is Bill Belichick on the hot seat but Mike Tomlin isn't? (alien.top)

The Steelers haven't won a playoff game since 2016. The Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2018. It's been four years post Brady, and the results haven't been pretty, but I don't see how the Steelers are faring any better.

The Steelers are not contenders this year. Kenny Pickett is not the answer. Mac Jones isn't the answer in New England, but he has certainly played better than Pickett overall.

The Steelers have barely played .500 football the last three seasons and have a negative point differential in each of those years. There is no indication they are on a winning trajectory.

Why is no one suggesting that Tomlin needs to do better to keep his job? The Steelers have been mediocre at best for years.

Belichik seems a lot more likely to retire than be fired. Tomlin hasn’t been great but he’s kept the Steelers from being bad all these years, and maybe that’s the goal.
