Steelers president Art Rooney II endorsed his coach, Mike Tomlin, and his staff, despite 8-8 season in 2012. The recurring theme of the Steelers' 2012 season has been that of lost opportunities. Steelers president and co-owner Art Rooney II reiterated that in an interview with the Post Gazette in its Thursday edition, saying the season "It was one of those seasons that a play here and play there would have made a difference in a lot of those games," but also strongly endorsed Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. "I certainly still have a high level of confidence in Mike. I know he is working as hard as he can already, just to figure out how we can get back on the right track." Source: SBNation.com
He's getting some flack for the lack of discipline the Steelers showed on the field this season...not sure if that's the reason or not that Rooney felt this needed to be addressed...or why the question was asked.
