    For those who don't know Mike Tomlin is the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the second longest tenured coach in the league, and never had a losing season before resigning his job last year.

    The idea of any NFL head coach having time to do this, especially a winning one, is absurd.

      Don't let the "gridset" bros lie to you: one can simultaneously have hobbies and leisure time while being productive and successful.

        Being an NFL head coach is easily a 60+ hour a week job, especially if you want your team to be good (and the Steelers were consistently at least above average his entire tenure)

          When did he last have a QB that wasn't ass? I assume the Brown's coaches weren't spending time in Minecraft over the same period.
