Ready for downvotes, but the older I get the more I appreciate the off the field part of the game and Tomlin is unparalleled in pro sports as far as I can tell.

In a business where everyone’s leash is short, and where opportunities are harder to come by if you are of color, he finds a way to influence and change the sport and give everyone a fair chance to succeed. When Tomlin invests in a player or coach’s success as professionals and as humans, there’s no flinching or knee jerking or emotional roller coaster.

It can be infuriating as a fan at times, we will never understand what really goes on until he retires and his biography is written.

In life these things matter, even though folks are rightfully bitter after the browns loss.
