So a guy a lot of Bucs fans would like to replace Todd Bowles as head coach had plenty to say about Bowles.
Legendary Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin hopped on [_The Rondé Barber Show_](https://www.wfla.com/ronde-barber-show/) this week and was told Bowles takes a lot of heat in Tampa. Tomlin was then asked to state something about Bowles that maybe fans don’t know or don’t understand.
> “I think that there’s a steadiness there that’s easy to follow,” Tomlin said of Bowles. “It is. And I just think as a leader, man, that’s what we need to provide for our guys: direction. Particularly when things are less than ideal.
>
> “I think he has a natural way about presenting the Steady Eddie mentality. He doesn’t ride the emotional roller coaster. I think that’s good; I think it’s good for young teams. I think it’s good for teams going through a tough time.”
Interesting take by Tomlin. It makes Joe re-think the famous Bowles public outburst last December following the home meltdown against the Falcons. Perhaps Bowles falling of his own Steady Eddie train, to use the Tomlin description, hurt the team’s mindset.
The Bucs never recovered.
