Two years ago, they were chanting “Fire Canada.” Two years later and they are chanting “Fire Tomlin.” They, in this case, refers to Pittsburgh Steelers fans at Acrisure Stadium.

The Steelers are currently trailing the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, and Steelers fans are far from pleased with the on-field product. The chant started in the fourth quarter and quickly gained traction. It was broken up after quarterback Aaron Rodgers connected with tight end Darnell Washington for a sizeable gain.

Down 23-7 late in the fourth quarter, the Steelers are sure to drop their fifth game of their last seven. Pittsburgh got off to a 4-1 start but is now looking at being 6-6 and further out of playoff contention. Clearly, a portion of Steelers fans believe this should be the last straw for Mike Tomlin .

Mike Tomlin and his job security

Tomlin, 53, has been Pittsburgh’s head coach since the 2007 season. This is year 19 of what has been a successful run for Tomlin in the Steel City. The Steelers are well over .600 under his leadership, winning a Super Bowl in 2008. Pittsburgh under Tomlin has finished .500 or better in every season.

The Steelers, however, have not won a playoff game since the 2016 season. That’s nearly a decade, and this season doesn’t look to be promising in snapping that streak. This is a franchise which has six Lombardi trophies, and they haven’t been close to reaching that level in some time.
