“We like to be on autopilot and know what lies ahead. But sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone a little bit and have to read an itinerary, have to keep up with the schedule and don't really know what's going on next.”

American football coach

Michael Pettaway Tomlin is an American football coach, born in 1972.

Over 19 seasons as head coach, Tomlin never finished with a losing record, the longest such run in NFL history. Under his leadership, Pittsburgh made 13 playoff appearances, won eight division titles, reached three AFC Championship Games and two Super Bowls, and won Super Bowl XLIII. At 36, he became the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl at the time, and he is tied with Chuck Noll for the most regular season wins in franchise history.
