Mike Tomlin has done the unthinkable, stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons — and one former running back is giving him his flowers.

Following the news of Tomlin's decision, ex-Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell took to social media to celebrate his former head coach.

"Great career coach," Bell wrote via X. "Go to where you're celebrated Coach T."

He also wasted little time clapping back at one fan celebrating the news.

"So quick to wanna be 4-13," Bell replied via X. "I just don’t get it."

Bell and Tomlin spent five seasons together before the former Steelers running back forced his way out of Pittsburgh following his holdout during the 2018 season.

Whether you love him or hate him, Tomlin's departure no doubt leaves far more questions than answers as the Steelers look to find their next head coach — one that hopefully leads us Pittsburgh out of the long-playoff drought they've found themselves in.
