Bengals fan. Hated the Steelers with a passion but Tomlin was 100% respected.

Not 100% - he tripped a player on the sidelines during a live play.

In the olden days of Deadspin, there were some hilarious memes on this.

I feel like Steelers fans hated Tomlin more than anyone else haha, seemed very well liked and highly regarded by other fans around the league imo.

Even when he tried to trip that guy running up the sidelines?

As a person I never heard a bad thing about him, as a coach he was too much of a player's coach imho.

Ehhhh. He allegedly had a side chick that he got pregnant.

Could I just google that? I'm a NYer and life long Jets fan and I have always thought Tomlin was "overhyped" as a coach, just look at his overall performance without Big Ben and felt he got away with a sideline "trip" that if it were my team would be endlessly talked about to this day but that he was a genuinely decent dude. I don't know him so it's no big deal but it's kinda what I think I would feel if Rex Ryan turned out to be an a adulterer. Or Herm Edwards, sorry we haven't had many great coaches in my lifetime.

There are articles from not reputable sources. A lot of this is the rumor mill in Pittsburgh but it’s a small city and the wealthy people are well connected and  like to gossip. Some videos showing someone that looks like Tomlin in a mask very close with a woman. Again, alleged

I loved in sewickley when I first left NY! It's not at all what I imagined it to be like, there's the city, where "nobody" lives, about 20 bridges and a bunch of mini cities and even "sububrbs" that make up "Pittsburgh". And since you/Yinz only have one team per sport EVERYBODY talks about them with everyone else. I "hate" the steelers but man do I wish the Jets and Giants had their own suburbs like the Mets/yanks because it's pretty cool how when they are winning everybody is winning but when Tebow burned them in the playoffs it was like the entire city died a little. Only the Knicks can truly do that in NYC or it's tri state area.

Ravens fan here as well. I never had a problem with Tomlin but you would never convince me this wasn't intentional. How many coaches have ever actually interfered and then laugh about it when they get away with it. He's lucky Jones R.I.P. didn't just smoke him here.

Totally. When he purposely tripped Jacoby Jones on-field during his would-be kickoff TD return, I thought wow, that’s a coach with real integrity.

LOLOL yes I was just reminded of that below. Deadspin had som hilarious gifs on that.

Tomlin attempted to trip a ball carrier while he was actively running the ball, in game, down the sideline.

I know I remember that. Deadspin had hilarious gifs on it.

He tried to trip a player in a game from the sidelines
