Mike Tomlin identifies Josh Allen as preferred quarterback to coach

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin named Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen as the player he would most like to coach. Speaking on the PFF NFL Show, Tomlin cited Allen’s mobility and arm talent as primary reasons for his selection. The 30-year-old quarterback has earned an MVP award and spent six seasons at the top of the league. Tomlin, who holds an undefeated record regarding losing seasons, remains under contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers despite stepping away from his coaching role this year to work as an analyst. Any team wishing to employ him as a head coach would need to trade for his rights. The Buffalo Bills enter the regular season with Joe Brady as their new offensive voice, aiming to maximize the championship window for their roster during Allen's career prime.
