  "account": "Mike Tomlin, the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has taken the internet by storm with his massive Minecraft city. After retiring from coaching, Tomlin began building a Minecraft city in the game's creative mode with his children's help during their middle school years. The city, which took him 12 years to complete, features various buildings such as sports stadiums, high-rise apartments, and homes. Tomlin, who never finished with a losing record during his 19 seasons as Steelers' head coach, created the city as a way to spend time with his children and for therapeutic purposes. The video showcasing his city received over 3 million views in less than two weeks after its release on October 1. Tomlin, who built the city using a PlayStation controller on the Bedrock edition of Minecraft, was initially unaware of his viral fame. Upon seeing the video, many were surprised at the depth and detail of the city, with viewers praising Tomlin's attention to architectural concepts such as the parti. Despite some criticism from fellow Minecraft builders, the overall consensus is that Tomlin's city is a phenomenal creation.",
