Report: Some Steelers minority owners to lobby for Tomlin's dismissal

The Pittsburgh Steelers have only had three head coaches since 1969, but if it was up a few of the club's minority owners, they'd be hiring a fourth.

Some members of the Steelers' limited partners, a group that owns a minority stake in the team, intend to lobby owner Art Rooney to fire Mike Tomlin and search for a new coach, a source told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

The report comes just two days after the Steelers fell at home in the AFC divisional round to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tomlin made a few controversial choices, most notably his decision to attempt an onside kick with just over two minutes left and the Steelers trailing by seven.

Jacksonville recovered, but moved the ball just 9 yards in four plays. Thanks to Pittsburgh attempting the onside kick, the Jaguars were already in field-goal range, and Josh Lambo connected on a 45-yard kick to put Jacksonville up by 10. That kick proved to be the winning margin, since the Steelers scored a late touchdown to cut the lead to three.

Tomlin has won a Super Bowl with the club and taken them to another during his 11 years in command. The 45-year-old has an impressive overall record of 116-60, but the Steelers haven't won the AFC title since 2010, even though they've arguably had the best quarterback-running back-receiver trio in the league since Le'Veon Bell joined them in 2013.
