I thought I put it in the title. Mike Tomlin for those that don’t watch football. Coached the Steelers for 19 years and never had a losing season. One of the best to coach football, is also an amazing builder in Minecraft.

He moved from highly respected to admiration.

With this amount of effort he may need to stay in coaching dedicated to the LA Wams

Not just an amazing builder in Minecraft but it shows he has the vision to be a city planner.

Most coaches build teams. This man built the whole damn city. 😯

If I learned one thing about tomlin watching the full thing
He loves Jack and Jill bedroom concepts, and water features. Kinda dope lol

I can see why he would. Extremely convenient to have a jack and jill bathroom connection.

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
It is an underrated layout. Just never thought I’d hear Tomlin express his feelings on them lol

Fully agree BUT... The accounts like 30 minutes old and they are shotgunning comments across subs. Every comment is some short comment with an emoji at the end. I mean... maybe they been beepin and boopin for a while now.

I'm glad someone else noticed, but people overall lack the ability to tell the difference and this was attempt to point that out. I don't give a shit about down votes.

Amazing way to spend your retirement.

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
He is a commentator now. I also think there are a few teams that would love to have him. After 19 years and a couple Super Bowls. I’d stick to commentary, don’t wanna Belichick yourself

u/stevendidntsay 5h ago
Oh for real? Nvm then. I don't know anything about him and just assumed he was retired. Mb

He has one SB and lots of mediocre seasons. Went 10 years without a playoff win and was blown out of the playoffs 3 straight trips. Record breakingly blown out!

u/Candid-Patient-6841 4h ago
He is in the top 10 with the highest win % of any nfl head coach.
What have you done?

When you’re allowed to coach mediocre football that long, you’ll rack up wins. Look at his winning percentage the further he got from taking over for Cowher. Also look at the draft debacles. What have I done? I’ve witnessed Tomlin football for far too long, and I’m glad it’s over. He’d make a great coach for a team with zero postseason aspirations aside from making it there. Tennessee or LV would welcome him with open arms and rightfully so. It’s about rings not non losing seasons.

u/hasselqu 5h ago
Well and he did this while working. He started it to connect with his kids since he was gone a lot. Then his kids grew out of it and he kept playing 🤣. It’s a great story. His son said he’d come home sometimes and his console would be missing when he wasn’t even in trouble lmao.

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
Damn pops couldn’t get a second console lmaoo

u/hasselqu 5h ago
Haha I imagine when he got super hooked he then got his own. Tomlin is from my home town and does so much for the community. Stand up guy all around.

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
Love when people with the means to do so give back. He always seemed really chill.

I think another takeaway too is that it can encourage young people to also let yourself enjoy and take the time for the things they like. You like Minecraft. Take the time to go play Minecraft. You like painting? Go paint. Have you found something that is good for your happiness? Go do it. It’s okay to take time for yourself. For him it is a video game but for others it’s baking, riding bikes, putting on a good record.

I think he says that in the full video. There is 3 buildings that are red blue and yellow close together. Dude has an eye for detail

u/TruthEnvironmental24 5h ago
Minecraft has to be the greatest virtual sandbox ever created. I have seen so many wild things built by so many different people. Even back before there were 100s of different blocks. It’s only gotten bigger.

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
It’s the closest thing to haven’t unlimited Lego. If this man figures out red stone he may never come back to football commentary

I hate what the vocal minority of the Pittsburgh "fans" put this man through (more than half of which was disingenuous as they disliked him for other reasons)

Right? His attention to detail is amazing. The full video shows more. And he apparently is gonna do another walkthrough

i remember someone once saying that, with how expressive you can be in certain games, they can be a new medium for art that didn't exist, say, 20+ years ago. imagine what Vincent van Gogh would make if he had minecraft, or Leonardo De Vinci? i never saw something like minecraft as a "new" form of artist expression until hearing that. in the same vain, imagine what the former coach would make if he spent a similar amount of time with paint or pastels or something.

No wonder the Steelers never won anything during that time

Nah Bills fan
But the Steelers are my second favorite team they were my dads team, we’re from western NY

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
I mean….not wrong lol I don’t think the Steelers made the playoffs in that 12 years this city was founded. But still has one of the highest win percentages of all time

u/sck178 5h ago
This explains why they could never get past the first round of the playoffs for like the last decade

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
I mean the timeline does coincide… with some of those 9-8 seasons he had. There are still some teams that would love to have him. Packers, chargers, cardinals to name a few

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
In the full video the edit states
“this was built in 2015 and not an endorsement, didn’t think he would win twice”
I think the video is based on actual city’s and or buildings he thought looked cool.

I thought I put it in there and I added a reply with his name and legacy. Dude is one of the best coaches of all time.

u/sillysocks34 5h ago
This is awesome. Also we need to get this man a PC if he’s gonna be a Minecraft YouTuber lol.

u/Candid-Patient-6841 5h ago
I just like that he did this for himself. Like it came out in an interview where he said “I am a mine crafter” and “he likes to build buildings” like dude that’s an understatement.
That attention to detail for a thing he kept private kinda shows why he was a good coach

u/IndustrialPuppetTwo 5h ago
I know nothing about minecraft but is this like a place that people can visit? Like a virtual world like Second Life or something like that?
3
u/Candid-Patient-6841 4h ago
If he made the world public, but I don’t think he will because people will vandalize it, he can also copy it but idk if he will.
But Minecraft is all about building. There is survival mode where you have to source every single brick. Or creative mode where you have an unlimited supply of materials. It’s basically dumping the biggest box of LEGO and your imagination is your limit.
Turns out this head coach also has a passion for city planning and architecture.

I am sorry you don’t have hobbies little man
Dude has one of the best winning records in NFL history. Spent 19 years coaching 1 team and brought that team to a few super bowls.
This is what he does for fun. What do you do?

u/Mildoze 5h ago
This is their hobby don’t you see? Scrolling isn’t that skilled of a hobby so you have to find a way to feel something somewhere somehow.

I’m just kidding. Im a US Marine (ret) 0321. Based on what I’ve seen in this world, there are no safe spaces. Anyway, that’s a different conversation.
I was just being a dumbass with my comment and it was out of line. Coach probably used Minecraft to manage his stress, which is very understandable.
