Mike Tomlin fires back at Terry Bradshaw

Mike Tomlin has struck back at Terry Bradshaw.

The former Steelers quarterback said last week that Tomlin isn’t a great coach and that he’s more of a “cheerleader” guy.

Since then, Tomlin won his fifth AFC North title when the Steelers defeated the Ravens 31-27 Sunday.

Tomlin’s players defended him after the game. In his weekly press conference Tuesday, Tomlin said that while being criticized is part of being a head coach, Bradshaw went a little overboard by calling him a cheerleader. Tomlin said it was “over the line” and “disrespectful.”

Then came the zinger.

Mike Tomlin says of Terry Bradshaw, "What do I know? I grew up a Dallas an, in particular a Hollywood Henderson fan." (1/2)

For all the kiddos at home, Hollywood Henderson once said Terry Bradshaw "couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the 'c' and the 'a.'"

Ouch.

It’s probably safe to assume that Tomlin isn’t a Cowboys fan anymore. However, it sounds like he might agree with Henderson’s assessment of Bradshaw’s intelligence.
