The Pittsburgh Steelers may have quieted fans calling for HC Mike Tomlin’s firing, but the loudest statement came from WR Calvin Austin, who defended his head coach from the Steel City critics.Speaking with reporters after the win over the Baltimore Ravens, Austin sent a bold message to the “Fire Tomlin” crowd, and it’s that he’ll always have his head coach’s back no matter how many fans are upset.”To be blunt, we don’t care at all,” Austin said about fans calling for Tomlin’s job. “We’re always behind Coach T. The whole world could be chanting, ‘Fire Coach T’. We’re going to be with Coach T though. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.”Calvin Austin: “The whole world could be chanting ‘Fire Coach T.’ We’re going to be with Coach T.
