He claims that Tomlin's coddled and is treated differently because he's black and that he and his coaches are out-of-control.  He notes how Bill Belichick would be shredded for doing the exact things that Tomlin does.

He mentions how his team and coaches are out-of-control and that they're all clueless, but the media is afraid to come down on him because he's black.

I think that him being black plays a large part in it, but I also think that him coaching for the Steelers, who are a winning franchise and above scrutiny, also plays a part in it because people are afraid to condemn the empire.

I think that even some Steelers fans might hate him and his antics, but because he's black, they're afraid to speak-out.

Dude....Tomlin is not well liked in Pittsburgh and is criticized all the time by fans.  Problem for all of them is that he has a better record thus far in his career that the last two guys did by this time.
