“Growth is a lifelong thing, I want to reflect that.” Coach Mike Tomlin
The Pivot Training Camp tour is in full swing as we visit NFL cities sitting with players and coaches around the league bringing you exclusive interviews and sideline conversations to get you ready for the football season. In partnership with Fanatics, we are pumped to drop this episode today!
You already know this is one of our favorite stops of the year, the land of The Pivot colors, but long before the black and yellow belonged to us at The Pivot, it was RC's legacy in Pittsburgh and anytime we get to go back, it's always a time to be had. With a roster full of talent and star players, sitting with anyone would be a great show but we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to chop it up with the man himself, the one, Mike Tomlin!!
Heading into another season as Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike T gives us some insight to his thought process around training camp, paving the way for other coaches in the league and how loving football has kept him at the top of the game for 20+ years. No losing seasons, 2 Super Bowl wins, what’s The secret? Be open to change, willing to adapt and appreciate the people around you.
While the biggest questions around the Steelers as the season kicks off is who will be their starting quarterback with the signing of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, two talented and highly successful play callers, Coach Tomlin is more focused on the men they are and the leadership qualities each exemplifies. Football creates tough situations and Tomlin says it's his job to prepare players to handle business between the white lines, be ready to fight the fight and find ways to get through the difficult times as a team.
Tomlin shares how coaching helped him become a better parent and now parenting has helped him become a better coach as players on his team are more the age of his own kids and he’s able to adjust to changes and better equip himself for being there for his players as he tries to bring out the best in them.
2024 goal? It's about winning. Tomlin knows the feeling of winning a Super Bowl and wants the guys in the locker room like Cam Heyward and TJ Watt, who have earned that championship feeling to be able to feel what it's like to have confetti rain down on them and set the tone for younger guys too.
New episodes drop on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET and Fridays at 3:30 p.m ET on CZcams, with audio available on all streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon.

" My career is long their career's are short I owe them urgency " Man that was a powerful answer-Mike T.
This is one of the reasons that I love my coach!!!
Facts ❤! I was like damn that's a hell of a quote and he meant every word.
GRANDE Facts! I was thinking the coach can be there longer than the player
53 year old born and raised Yinzer and Steelers fan. I get mad during games, and scream at the screen. I cry out for Tomlin to be fired sometimes....then I calm the heck down and remember just how great this man is as a coach/leader/city representative. I am thankful that this man has coached my hometown team for almost two decades of my lifetime because Steelers football is important in my casual life. Thank you Coach T.
You're 53. Lol still yelling at tv😅😅😅😅
One of the best comments I’ve seen in a while. Very honest. I can tell you are a true Yinzer lol
You spoke for every Steelers fan living yinzer!! ( Perfect mic drop)🫡
Your the problem lol be a man and learn to handle your emotions 💪
@@sh-bs6uj Hey man the prime age for TV yelling is 40-65
Dude, I fucking LOVE coach tomlin. There’s not a single mf coach in this world I would want over this man.
Yes sir, well said that why guys wanna come to Pittsburgh they wanna play for him hell of coach soon to be Hall of famer
That’s Mr Mike sir put some capitol T on our favorite Coach name if you don’t mine homie
Only on Madden where I've been using his defense for the last 15 years 😂
As a Browns fan, I totally agree.
If you could have one coach in the world you would pick Mike t? Seems mediocre to me
The part about owing his team and players was amazing. Every coach needs to think like this. What a great man !!
As a life long Steeler fan and Coach this is absolute gold. Tomlin is one of the best things to happen to the Burgh.
Ever!!!
Honestly he’s more than a coach you can tell he’s just a great leader, a great man, a great human and that’s why every player in the league respects him and wants to play for us🫡 to the organization and the Rooneys for always making the right moves
@@KZAHNCHO sht as a life long Cowboys fan this is gold to me as well. Have to respect Greatness
Nice to see some Tomlin support..
Yeah, hate people who take him for granted. He's a great leader, mentor.
This is why all the players in the NFL wanna come to Pittsburgh....for Mike T!!!
You sure they all want ?
They know they'll have a job in Pittsburgh because he doesn't hold them accountable.
@@jason-hu9fethat is a ridiculous statement A.b, acted up gone, Santonio Holmes gone, Chase Claypool gone, Melvin Gordon in season gone diante Johnson I could go on forever bro I would rather you say I just don't like that black guy I would respect you more Instead of making baseless statements like that
Lmao don't think so yet again later
NFL best coach and motivator - Coach T. Let’s go Steeler Nation!
Here we go!🖤💛🖤💛
The absolute best
Where's that motivation over the last decade?
@@jason-hu9feAverage to bad Quarterback play...
LFG 🔥
Said it with Ben, and I'll say it again with Mike T
Appreciate him while he's here. Gonna miss him when he's gone.
You ain't a kidding!
Ppl who wanna fire him to take a flyer on an unproven coach do not understand the organization or the value of not only a coach, but a MAN like coach T in the building.
Every young man needs a Mike Tomlin in his corner... The world would be a much better place.
I see why Brandon Aiyuk wants to play there. Mike T is dope.
Micah parsons wants to play there too
Wow Brandon about to be blessed in the Steel City
He's staying in San Francisco 😢
@@TheTrapbender I hope so. These players do everything they are asked to do. When it’s time to get paid these organizations don’t wanna pay up.
Ravens die hard fan here but but Tomlin is that dude. Pitt is lucky to have him
Much respect to that organization, man. So many damn good games
Harbaugh is great too . What a rivalry over the years . I fucking hate the ravens . But I respect the hell outta them .
Never understand all the hate towards that man
@@tiemann55 ? ? He _just hung_ his QB out to dry deciding to put All Decision-Making into Lamar's hands & giving him No Guidance Whatever before or during the game against Reid, Mahomes & Spagnuolo. Wtf is respectful about that?
I don't even know of any NFL coach who _would_ want to claim they won without calling plays. They called RPOs & let Lamar, who couldn't stand quietly & observe what the defense was doing to him to decide what plays were best.
Was this the First Time they did this as will? In a playoff game against the Chiefs? They didn't see any point in the game where they should have maybe reviewed this decision? Hung his QB out to take All The Blame in a playoff game against The Chiefs.
Respectable my a**.
@@ChewsCarefully you mad bro?😎
Nobody:
Mike Tomlin: "We gonna do freaky shit routinely" 🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣
Grow up
It's funny, how about you take your own advice@@Jdcjr1991
No Diddy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love it
This is exactly why Tomlin should NEVER be worried about his job. Hopefully he continues to flex his ability to have players gravitate to him. It's worked for guys like Sabin for decades in college. Time to have part of the coach's responsibility to be a recruiting component.
Even as a Pats fan, still always loved Tomlin’s energy and personality 👏
This should become an annual talk
I will never miss a Mike Tomlin interview
Coach T can be on here any time. . Mad RESPECT
Why would anyone dislike this man? It is way beyond me.
Hate, pettiness and jealousy.
Racism
As a man you can't. As a coach he makes some bonehead decisions at times
@@kingdawg5830facts and it’s sick that racism still exists
@KTee-eb1tv yes it is totally sick
RC thanks for leading by example - showing how valuable relationships are - not only as a player but as a black man in america
I met Mike Tomlin when my son went to his “invite only” football camp in Hampton , Va. - this guy is an awesome communicator and motivator. He has me wanting to suit up and play. They spent just as much time in conversation in the auditorium as they did on the field. Tomlin is 100% authentic!!
On his last PIVOT interview he dropped a 🔥 quote about "Swimming In Comfort " and continuing to challenge yourself. Ive been applying that to my life everyday since! This guy is great motivator!
Mike T definitely got a different vibe this time around. They went out and got him some talent and he knows.. #7 is here
This episode got me juiced for this season!!
Hate the Steelers as a Cleveland Browns fan but much love to Coach Tomlin
@@Leek4748 I fucking hate the Cleveland clowns but Kevin stefanski is a good coach he turned that culture around
Love Mike Tomlin's whole vibe...he's a dope dude! I'm so glad he's the coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers...Goat level 👍
“Hey man that’s Chuck Noll” 😂😂😂😂
Winner! A leader & A male Figure for us black men ❤️✊🏾
This is the best show in CZcams. The Intro is melodic and hypnotic
Coach T is everything. I am grateful for his methods. He inspires many and helps me to traverse the path of life. Thank you!
I am a Raiders fan frim head to toe! Since '73 i grew up hating the Steelers. But, i love this man and i am finally excited and believe we have a coach similar to this man in Antonio Pierce. Once again thank you Mike Tomlin.
So glad to have Tomlin, and I always question any “fan” who talks about replacing him.
With who?!? He’s literally got the 9th most wins of any coach, zero losing seasons, and the 2nd most wins of any active head coach.
The Steelers have had 16 head coaches in their history, and only 3 since 1969. That’s almost 20yrs/coach in the last 60 years. He’s not just getting replaced when he’s still producing. It’s just not easy to replace a possible HOF QB like Big Ben. Love him or hate him he retired 5th all time in passing yards.
Hopefully fields or Wilson pans out and we can get a decent enough QB. Because our defense is stacked
Crazy how they look at Tomlin we he speaks. Especially Ryan Clark. Tomlin has a gift for sure. My favorite coach of all time.
I was just laying in bed on my day off listening to this. An after the statement 27:00 I'm headed to the gym. Damn coach appericate you
💯
"AS A LEADER I HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THEY LIVE"
RESPECTFULLY MIKE TOMLIN!!!!!!
HEAD COACH
When Coach Tomlin speaks we listen! 💯🐐
Coach T is the best! Can't wait to see us win the 7th ring
You might not have to wait as long as you think.
Tomlin is one of the greatest speakers of our generation. Dude could run for president
“The standard is the standard” one of my favorite quotes
Love that coach. He makes players better.
Mike T is as real as it gets!!! Genuine ✨️
Fellas, please make this an annual interview.
There is no doubt Mike T is a Tony Dungy Disciple.
Nothing better than our Pittsburgh Steelers and Coach T
That’s my coach 😎
Sapp and Deacon Jones both grew up in Central Florida! Both legends in their eras.
This is award winning podcast type shit right here 🔥🔥🔥
Cincinnati born and raised Pittsburgh fan for Life. Shout out too Mike T
Bandwagon
Lets me just tell you, coming from a lifelong Steelers fan:
I’m excited for this season. No matter what, we have leadership in this team-a perfect blend of vets and young players that seem to want to fly around, make plays, and work together as a group of men working towards a common goal of a super bowl. One thing is for sure we have more leaders and mentor opportunities on both sides of the ball, especially Quarterback..😒
I still can’t believe.. that some Steelers fans wanted to run my Mike Tomlin out of town.. I’m just glad the Rooney’s don’t let fans influence their decisions.. can’t wait for the season. Let’s go Pittsburgh.
As a lions fan i enjoy the shit outta dan campbell as a coach and person but then u realize, mike tomlin has been that dude for almost 15 yrs longer as a coach. Class act, great leader and a definite first ballot hall of famer. Its crazy how the steelers have always had a great coach who ends up having a long storied run! Cheers steelers fans, and nfl fans alike, the new season is almost here!!!
We been needed the vets around
THATS MY COACH 🐐
As a man, Tomlin is the blueprint of what I want to become.
Brah our nation is great we got super bowls legends and coach T when i think back all the players and great fans ill die a steeler fan love all yall Go Steelers
Well said brotha there's nothing like SteelerNation, terrible towels, your in steelers country defense run game physicality our culture is like no other cornerstone franchise and Mike tomlin is heaven sent
Love the yearly updates with coach T! Always my favorite!
I’ve been a ravens fan since 09. Coach Tomlin is the only coach I’ll ever give his flowers. Hall of fame worthy. No matter what the teams looks like, he coach them to WIN. And our rivalry is wonderful beyond measures. Every game almost comes down to a field goal
Was Gruden in a LAB with a LAB coat on ???saying”I’m gonna construct the best black coach ever!!!” HES ALIVE!!!!😂🤣😂🤣
Great interview, gentlemen.
Freddy T’s “Noo!” Killed me 😂💀
I am a Ravens fan. However, I respect the heck out of Coach Tomlin. I was legit pissed when the NFL tried to retire him because of a potential losing record. However, the NFL acted like they would end because Bill quit. Both are HOF, but i like Tomlin's approach.
I could listen to Mike T allday!
Coach Tomlin is a true football guy. If he never pursued coaching as a career he’d still be coaching peewee into his 80s probably remembering every kid he coached. It’s just in him.
Incredible interview. You can see how much respect these 3 got for coach just in how they listen
I stopped everything to listen to this conversation ❤
I'm a Steelers fan since I was a teenager. I'm 63 now and still a die-hard fan. Tomlin is my favorite coach, Cowher is the second. Go Steelers ❤
😂😂, I would've cried too if yall left me behind to go visit with Coach Tomlin.
Was I the only one looking for Channing and Russell Wilson to shake hands / Talk ? 🤔😂😂
Nope😂 I was waiting for that awkward exchange too bro.
lol fr
The Pivot is everything....every episode is good 👍
He should be in consideration for one of the greatest coaches of all time. He is a true developer of men, you see that in how his former players speak of him. Our current politicians on every level could learn something from him.
The best coach. Not the greatest, but imo, the best.
51 year steeler fan. so many great players... This show is AWESOME , RAW, and REAL.. IM a fan congrats .
FUCK YES! ROAD TO 7!
Love Mike Tomlin, love what the boys are doing and the dynamic of the pivot… they are killing it… can we also acknowledge RT’s barber…
Mike Tomlin is black excellence!
I love all the interviews they do but when they do a Pittsburgh Steeler interview it’s over the top for me! 💯
Okay, anyone else notice for this to be an outdoor interview on a practice field.... The sound of the Interview is incredible. Nice Job Gentleman (and to the sound engineer).
Wow!!! That's what I'm talking about. Ryan Clark and Coach Tomlin. Let's get it!!
2nd Tomlin interview I’m watching today, said it in the comments in the first one and will say it again. He might just be the coolest black man that ever lived!
Did Chann and Russ hangout afterwards lol😂
Man I love coach T dawg thank you pivot for the amazing interview that made my day! Go Steelers!!🇦🇸🇦🇸
S/O to Tomlin for the Troy P. impression 😂😭🔥 ! The nicest mad man on the football ever ! Highlights do him know justice bc they never show the whole play most of the time ! This guy would literally fly around the field ! He would line up in one place so far from the snap and still end up around the ball or the LOS! The argument between who has better out of him and Ed Reed was legit bc they were both high IQ and physical playmakers 💯
What part of the podcast is that at gotta find it 😂😂
Mike Tomlin could read an instruction manual for 2 hours.And I would still be locked in on him. Love listening to him talk.
My day has officially been made. Thank you to the Pivot ❤
I hope this gets the recognition it deserves
Low key one of the most successful coaches of all time.
Amazing trio! Amazing show! One of the best episodes!
You all need to get with Head Coach all pro Super Bowl champion Antonio Pierce on the show ASAP!!!! Best coach I ever coached with at Long Beach Poly High School. His impact on players and the game as a whole cannot be overstated!!!!
It’s always a great interview when Tomlin stops by to the Pivot! Great vibes and great conversations.
Nobody could EVER make me hate Mike Tomlin! EVER . I've been a Steelers fan my whole life and under his leadership has mad me LOVE the Steelers even more . . . HERE WE GO!!!!!! BLACK AND YELLOW!!!!
Lifeling seahawks fan and I'm so happy for Wilson that he's actually getting a coach who wants to work with him unlike Coach Bountygate! I used to hate the Steelers cause of that Superbowl loss to you guys, but now I'm watching and rooting for you unless you are playing Seattle!
He begged for Payton... Quit it. His ego will be his demise.
At the 13:38 mark when coach says if you been in the Superbowl right, notice how Ryan immediately starts to begin his troll moments with his co host 😂😂😂
Literally the best coach ever....and I'm a Jets fan
Cowboys fan for life!!! Tomlin fan until I die, he almost make me wanna be a Steelers fan. He could motivate me to knock down a brick wall with his charisma and motivation. The more interview i see and watch him interact with his present and past ball players , makes me understand how much of a living legend he is. Like being "Mossed " Randy Moss I now speak "Tomlini-isms "!!!
This was an amazing interview. So much wisdom and golden gems from Coach Tomlinson. Being from Dallas, my family, especially my sons have always admired and respected Coach Mike Tomlin. He is a class act. (And yes, I know what you’re thinking- we know Jerry is the problem. Yet still, I have hopes for Dallas that before the rapture we will win a Superbowl )
Shoutout to the crew and James Harrison showing up to training camp. A few other greats showed up too like Troy
Mad respect for coach Tomlin and what he does for the Steelers and Pittsburgh. Love what you gentlemen are doing. Great interviews. Great questions. It’s going to be a great season. Can’t wait for the season to start!!!!
Another Legendary Interview with Mike T. If he isnt #1 he is top 2 in the NFL right now and at least top 5 of all time.
Let’s enjoy coach T while we have him! There will never be another coach T like there will never be another 7!
I love Coach Tomlinson. Can y’all please schedule an interview with Coach Tomlinson and Coach Staley together as mentioned by RC during y’all’s podcast with Coach Staley. That will be so powerful to here two brilliant coaching minds share their experiences.
17:50 just gives me chills man. Him talking about those dudes the way he does just make me emotional tbh.
Those 3, and Tomlin himself, are why I love this team so much. Not including past Steelers of course
Everytime RC is back in the Burgh, you know its going to be a fun podcast
Coach T whenever you get a Pittsburgh quarterback you gotta hang on to them. Pit has six hall of fame qbs
Coach T seems on one for real this year. Bring back that physicality.
