Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin fired back strongly at the "provocative" message from coach Jon Gruden :"Greatness doesn't come from words, it comes from actions – the Steelers will prove that this Sunday." Oct 30, 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin fired back strongly at the "provocative" message from Jon Gruden – the former Super Bowl-winning coach with the Buccaneers:"Greatness doesn't come from words, it comes from actions – the Steelers will prove that this Sunday." Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – October 30, 2025 The atmosphere in Pittsburgh is heating up. After a viral post claimed the Steelers’ defense looked “lost” and hinted that former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden — who once led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title — could be a potential successor to Mike Tomlin, the veteran coach finally responded. And as expected, his words carried the same fire and authority that have defined his tenure. The post, which showed Tomlin on the sideline in his trademark black-and-gold gear alongside the caption “Could bringing in Jon Gruden help steady the ship — and set him up as the future successor once Tomlin steps away?”, quickly ignited debate across Steelers Nation. With over 225,000 views, fans split into two camps — some calling for “a new voice,” while others fiercely defended the man who’s led the franchise for nearly two decades. Tomlin, who has guided Pittsburgh since 2007, didn’t hold back when asked about Gruden’s “motivational jab” and the ongoing rumors about his future. “I don’t have time for that kind of talk,” Tomlin said coolly. “Greatness isn’t about words — it’s about action. We’ll show the world what that looks like this Sunday.” “If anyone thinks the Steelers have lost their way,” he added, his voice firm, “they’ll find out soon enough how wrong they are. This organization was built on pride, discipline, and the will to fight through anything.”

I saw that Tomlin quote posted on social media and immediately assumed it was satire. Though, Tomlin is the one who did actually say he'd unleash hell in November! -
I've done some looking around to try and find some legitimacy to this declaration. I believe you are just posting a rumor that backup Steeler fans are wishing. The Steelers will not hire a veteran coach like Jon Gruden. That won't happen. I like the rumor also but it is not what Art would do.Comment

Just to correct, I said " beaucoup" and not backup. If we could get edit going again that would be good.Comment
