Steelers president Art Rooney II endorsed his coach, Mike Tomlin, and his staff, despite 8-8 season in 2012.
The recurring theme of the Steelers' 2012 season has been that of lost opportunities.
Steelers president and co-owner Art Rooney II reiterated that in an interview with the Post Gazette in its Thursday edition, saying the season "It was one of those seasons that a play here and play there would have made a difference in a lot of those games," but also strongly endorsed Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
"I certainly still have a high level of confidence in Mike. I know he is working as hard as he can already, just to figure out how we can get back on the right track."
