Jerricho Cotchery played for plenty of head coaches throughout his football career. None, though, were quite like Mike Tomlin. Appearing on the Sports Spectrum Podcast, Cotchery outlined what made Tomlin so effective as a head coach.
“He was awesome,” he told the show. “He was everything that you would want a coach to be. Some coaches are X’s and O’s. Some coaches just know how to deal with personalities and know how to get guys to Sunday and all of that. But he was everything in one.”
Signed by the Steelers toward the end of his career, Cotchery played for Pittsburgh from 2011 to 2013.
