‘You’re dead’ – Mike Tomlin tells Travis Kelce the truth on NFL teams having players-only meetings
Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin shared his true thoughts with Travis and Jason Kelce on what a players-only meeting means from an NFL standpoint. Teams in crisis or ones that lack cohesion often come to a point in a season where they have a players-only meeting to ensure that everybody is on the same page.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed the harsh reality behind players-only meetings in the NFL during an interview with The New Heights podcast alongside his sons, Travis and Jason Kelce. According to Tomlin, if a team were to hold such a meeting, it would be an ominous sign that the team's season was in serious trouble.
He expressed that he would prefer not to be aware of his own team engaging in such a meeting. Tomlin's comment comes after the Dallas Cowboys held a players-only meeting following their Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers, where they ranked last in several defensive categories and were having a losing season. Tomlin, who spent 18 years as the Steelers' head coach and won a Super Bowl in 2008, emphasized that he would not want to know if his team had such a meeting, calling it "BS."
