Fearless Coach Tomlin

Congrats Pittsburgh Steelers!

Although the game was fantastic, I found myself more interested in the story behind Coach Tomlin. Here is a man who interviewed for a head coaching job with a franchise that had only two coaches -Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher - in the previous 38 years, not to mention his young age of 34.

How did he do it? He was FEARLESS!

Steelers President Art Rooney said Tomilin's "presence", was the swing factor during the interview process. In other words, he was fearless in the job interview and it showed. He was willing to risk a "no", but also knew he was the right person for the job. He was prepared for the interview with a half dozen binders. Even a binder for "When we get to the superbowl"! He knew that he was the right person for the job and he got it. The rest is history...............

Being fearless is the key to getting the career you want!
