Mike Tomlin, defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, has been chosen as the Pittsburgh Steelers' new head coach, SI.com has learned.
The official announcement is expected to come sometime in the next two days.
Tomlin, 34, impressed the Steelers during the interview process with his organization skills, intelligence and grasp of the game, according to a source familiar with the coaching search.

When you talk about high-pressure coaching jobs in sports, the Pittsburgh gig has to be at or near the top. You're following in the footsteps of two Super Bowl-winning legends, and you're only the third guy to fill the role since the 60's. On the bright side, Tomlin will get a long time to mold his club as long as he stays competitive.
Profootballtalk.com gets some kudos for this, as they picked Tomlin for the Steelers job over a month ago.
I don't know what is more disquieting -- the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes. | CajunMan
