Mike Florio Explains Why Mike Tomlin Is Built for Television

On Thursday, former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made his NBC Sports broadcasting debut during the Hall of Fame Game, publicly endorsing Mike McCarthy as his successor to lead the Steelers.
Tomlin stepped down following a successful 19-year run with the Steelers, prompting the organization to hire McCarthy, a Super Bowl-winning coach who previously led the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.
"Certainly, being a Pittsburgh native, he understands the standard that is Pittsburgh, and he'll embrace that," Tomlin explained, highlighting McCarthy's experience managing successful teams with Aaron Rodgers.
McCarthy enters his first season in Pittsburgh as Rodgers' final NFL year approaches, positioning the coach to potentially face his second season without his veteran quarterback.
The Steelers face their first preseason action on Thursday, Aug. 13, against the Packers, followed by a regular-season home opener on Sunday, Sept. 13, hosting the Atlanta Falcons.
