He wants to see if the Steelers 'say no' to whatever offer they could give for Tomlin.
The Browns have one of the worst records in the NFL at 2–8, one year after Kevin Stefanski was named coach of the year. The Steelers hold the No. 3 AFC playoff spot with an 8–2 record afterWhen talking about the AFC North, former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn offered a wild idea: If the Browns decide to fire Stefanski this offseason, they should make an offer to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.
"If they did though and that head coach job became vacant, I would call the Steelers, dude," Quinn said onthis week. "If I'm Jimmy Haslam, I'm going to offer whatever it takes to get Mike Tomlin. And at least make them say no. Make them an offer they can't refuse. And see if they say no. That would be the approach I would take.”
Quinn admitted that he knows this is idea is "never going to happen," but it was fun for him to create it. It's highly doubtful the Steelers will want to let Tomlin go, who's been with the team since 2007. Tomlin is only Pittsburgh's third coach since 1969—the Steelers don't make major changes very often.
