Former New England Patriots linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion Rob Ninkovich thinks it would be foolish for the Pittsburgh Steelers to fire Mike Tomlin.

Tomlin was named the Steelers' head coach in 2007. He took over for Bill Cowher, who coached from 1992 to 2006 and won the 2006 Super Bowl with Pittsburgh. When he stepped down as head coach, Cower left with a 12-9 playoff record, winning at least one playoff game in eight of the 10 times he led the Steelers to the playoffs.

The loss to the Ravens marks the sixth straight playoff loss for Pittsburgh which ties for the longest postseason losing streak with the Miami Dolphins. Woody would be on “Get Up” on ESPN and used Tomlin's quote of “the standard is the standard” and questioned if the playoff disappointment is part of that.

Tomlin is the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL having been hired by the team in 2007 to replace Bill Cowher. He has compiled a 183-107-2 record since and has never had a losing season in his career. The issue? For many Steelers fans?

Questions have swirled around the NFL regarding Mike Tomlin's future with the Pittsburgh Steelers and if he would be available in a trade.

The Pittsburgh Steelers dismiss trade inquiries made for Mike Tomlin, reaffirming their loyalty to the coach who could potentially lead them for 25 years.

Pittsburgh Steelers star pass-rusher TJ Watt was held off the stat sheet the final two games of the season. Mike Tomlin's defensive philosophy could have something to do with that.
