  • Tomlin Latest Minority Fellowship Grad to Join Head-Coaching Ranks; Makes It a Foursome with Edwards, Lewis & Smith
    TOMLIN LATEST MINORITY FELLOWSHIP GRAD TO JOIN HEAD-COACHING RANKS; MAKES IT A FOURSOME WITH EDWARDS, LEWIS & SMITH The NFL MINORITY COACHING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM keeps producing head coaches. In 2007, it will be MIKE TOMLIN, new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers who is only the third head coach in the past 38 years for the club. Tomlin interned with the Cleveland Browns in the summer of 2000 when he was the defensive backs coach of the University of Cincinnati. He joins three other minority coaches who partook in the fellowship program who are now NFL head coaches – HERM EDWARDS of the Kansas City Chiefs, MARVIN LEWIS of the Cincinnati Bengals and LOVIE SMITH of the Chicago Bears. These four make up the majority of the six African-American head coaches in the league this year. The NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, instituted in 1981, provides training-camp positions for minority coaches at NFL clubs. Nearly 1,000 minority coaches have participated in the program since its inception. Tomlin definitely feels that the fellowship prepared him for his new job. “The coaching fellowship gave me an opportunity to learn what I needed to do if I wanted to coach in the NFL,” he says. “As a head coach, I plan to utilize the fellowship to the fullest to give others the same opportunities that were afforded to me.” Tomlin recently promoted Steelers defensive line coach JOHN MITCHELL – the first African-American assistant coach to be a defensive coordinator in the Southeastern Conference when he was at LSU in 1990 – to be the Steelers’ assistant head coach.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION “IT’S ALL OVER!” m“George, don’t you realize, that’s it!” She said it with love and compassion, but Tunisia, my wife, was telling me that my NFL career was over. I didn’t want to hear it. I asked her, “Why the hell would you say some shit like that?” “George, you’re done,” she repeated. “It’s all over!” I didn’t talk to her for a couple of weeks. That’s when I started going to the beach and spending three or four days by myself. I would say, “Tunisia, I’m going to the beach on Thursday. I’ll be back on Monday,” and she would say, “Really? OK.” And the beach was about two hours away. I was pissed off, hurt, angry, depressed. I just wanted to get out of there. I didn’t really want to be around peo- ple who were asking me, “George have you talked to anybody, have any teams given you a call?” I didn’t have an answer. Well, I had the answer, but I didn’t want to tell people. I was basically a failure in my mind. I was totally numb. I was in a dark and lonely place. I was embarrassed to talk with friends in the league. I envied them. So I’d get in my Chevy Suburban and whatever happened that day was going to happen. I didn’t really care. It was on the drive back home one day that I took a turn at 75 miles per hour just to see what would happen.
