\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFOR THE LAST TWO DECADES. WHAT ARE THEY SAYING TONIGHT? WELL, KRISTEN, THEY SAY THAT THEY\u2019RE SAD, BUT THEY UNDERSTAND TO THEM. THEY SAY TOMLIN\u2019S ACHIEVEMENTS ON THE FIELD WERE JUST A SMALL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. THE WORD WE KEPT HEARING OVER AND OVER AGAIN WAS LEADERSHIP. THAT\u2019S ON AND OFF THE FIELD. WHEN YOU PUT HIS ENTIRE CAREER TOGETHER. PROFESSIONALLY. COMMUNITY. HE\u2019S DONE A FANTASTIC JOB AND SET A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE. WHEN THE ROONEYS HIRED MIKE TOMLIN IN 2007, HE BECAME THE FIRST BLACK HEAD COACH IN STEELERS HISTORY. HE IS A QUALIFIED. INDIVIDUAL, BUT HE HAPPENS TO BE A BLACK MAN. IN 2003, THE LEAGUE ADOPTED THE ROONEY RULE, NAMED FOR THEN STEELERS CHAIRMAN DAN ROONEY. ORIGINALLY REQUIRING TEAMS TO INTERVIEW AT LEAST ONE DIVERSE CANDIDATE FOR HEAD COACHING VACANCIES. THE RULE HAS SINCE EXPANDED, REQUIRING AT LEAST TWO EXTERNAL CANDIDATES FOR ANY GENERAL MANAGER OR HEAD COACHING SPOT. URBAN LEAGUE PRESIDENT ESTHER BUSH SAYS THE ROONEYS AND TOMLIN TOGETHER HAVE POSITIVELY CHANGED THE RACIAL LANDSCAPE HERE IN PITTSBURGH. THE URBAN LEAGUE EVEN HAS PRESENTED THEM WITH AN AWARD FOR IT. IT IS FOR THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH TO HAVE A DIFFERENT COMFORT LEVEL ABOUT PUTTING AFRICAN AMERICANS WHERE THEY BELONG. TOMLIN IMMEDIATELY GOT TO WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. HE STARTED EARLY, WHERE HE LIVED AND WORKED THE NORTH SIDE, BECOMING A ROLE MODEL FOR THOUSANDS THROUGH HIS WORK WITH URBAN IMPACT. MIKE IS MORE THAN A COACH. HE\u2019S HE\u2019S A FATHER. HE\u2019S A HUSBAND. HE\u2019S A MAN THAT IS ON A MISSION. HE\u2019S ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE. IT\u2019S ABOUT HELPING MEN LOVE GOD AND THEIR FAMILY AND IMPACT THE FATHERLESS. WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE THE CALIBER OF MIKE TOMLIN COMING IN AND SHAKING HANDS WITH LITTLE KIDS AND BIG KIDS AND PARENTS AND SHOWING THAT HE HAS TIME TO DO THAT AND LOOKS HIM IN THE FACE, KNOWS THEIR NAME, ENCOURAGES THEM. THAT IS HUGELY IMPACTFUL. THOSE COMMUNITY PARTNERS SAY EVEN THOUGH TOMLIN IS MOVING BEYOND THE STEELERS, HE WILL NEVER MOVE BEYOND PITTSBURGH. THEY SAY HIS IMPACT WILL BE FELT HERE FOR YEARS TO COME.
