Letter to the editor: Tomlin lacks fire, passion — it’s time for him to go

I’ve been a lifetime Steelers fan since 1974. Back then, we had three channels and rabbit ears on the 12-inch screen. My grandfather and father introduced me to football and the Steelers. They loved Joe, L.C., Franco and Mr. Noll. Not only because they won, but because of the way they went about their business. It’s a lifelong lesson I carry with me today.

I have been a Mike Tomlin supporter and defender since he arrived in Pittsburgh. After Sunday’s game, I can no longer defend him. It’s time for a change and I hope ownership sees what every Steelers fan saw on Sunday. No fire, no passion, no anything until the last 90 seconds. That’s not how to go about your business.
