blurred-reality.com – Steelers fans wonder if Mike Tomlin is sick (ill) as there’s a rumor that he might take a temporary leave from the NFL. Some even wonder if he has cancer. However, there is no record of him having any kind of major health issues. As a result, it is safe to assume that the rumor is untrue.
Mike Tomlin (full name: Michael Pettaway Tomlin) has been the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2007. Before becoming head coach of the Steelers, he was the Minnesota Vikings‘ defensive coordinator in 2006.
Under Tomlin’s direction, the Steelers were successful, and he guided them to victory in Super Bowl XLIII. He is widely recognized for his coaching style, leadership, and the stability he has provided to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.
Despite his 17th straight non-losing season, various sources reported last week that Mike Tomlin might be taking a break from the NFL. To add flame to the firm he recently walked away from the press conference after he was asked about his future with the Steelers.
On the other hand, many people wonder if he is sick (ill). They want to know if he is planning to take a temporary break from the league because of his health issues. Well, let’s find it out together.
Previously, we discussed the stories of Martin Lawrence and Dru Sjodin.
Mike Tomlin Is neither Sick nor Does He Have Cancer!
After a tough loss against the Buffalo Bills, Mike Tomlin (@coachtomlin) didn’t prefer to talk about his future with the Steelers. He just walked away after a reporter asked him the question. Is he sick though?
While Mike has not confirmed the rumor about him planning to take a temporary break from the NFL, we don’t think he is sick. We also have found that some people wonder if he has cancer. Well, it seems all of the speculations are incorrect.
The organization and the administration would have known if he was having any major problems with his health issues. However, the Steelers are reportedly positive to provide him a contract extension.

According to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter,
They’re not firing Mike Tomlin, but here’s the thing that’s interesting. He’s got a year left on his contract, and there are some people around the league who believe that Mike Tomlin could decide eventually to take some time off like Sean Payton did. Maybe take a year off, we’ll see if that’s something that’s on his mind
But Mike Tomlin gets to dictate what happens here, not the Pittsburgh Steelers. He’s staying on if he wants to. If he decides that he’d like to walk, well that’s a different subject.
While he has the whole off-season to decide his future, we do not think he is sick at all. He looks absolutely healthy. Thus, we conclude that Mike Tomlin does not have any kind of illness.

Tomlin walked out of the press conference. The incident sparked further curiosity about his future, following reports that he may leave the club. Tomlin has since dismissed those rumors, but not before his star player expressed his support earlier on Tuesday. T.J. Watt recently said,
I want to play for Mike T-. That was huge in my contract talks. I don’t want to play for anyone other than Mike T. You can see in the way I talk about him, how much I respect and appreciate him as a coach, as a man, as a leader. That’s my endorsement for him.
