Steelers HC Mike Tomlin lets fan know he’s all business, even at halftime

During the week, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin publicly is one of the most even-keeled guys you will ever see. His communication with the press is typically quite monotone bordering on robotic.

But in-game, it is very different as this fan discovered on Sunday. A fan was videotaping during halftime of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons and wanted to wish Tomlin well as he headed into what looked like the locker area at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

After telling Tomlin to go for the win, Tomlin fired back. What that fans got was a single sentence of raw emotion and passion from a man fighting to keep his football team on track. The video below is NSFW.

Let us know in the comments how you feel about this exchange. Was Tomlin in the wrong for his response or should the fan not have been trying to engage with him during halftime?
