Mike Tomlin will now help make some of the rules his Steelers players dislike.
The Steelers coach was added Tuesday by the NFL to the Competition Committee, which is largely responsible for shaping rule changes.
Among those enacted by the league last month following a Competition Committee meeting in Arizona were a reworking of the Tuck Rule regarding quarterback fumbles and a toughening of the rules regarding players using their helmets to gain a physical advantage, especially running backs.
Tomlin replaces former Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, who was recently let go as the Cardinals coach.
“I am humbled and honored to be selected to the Competition Committee by Commissioner (Roger) Goodell,” Tomlin said in a statement. “I am excited for the opportunity to help maintain and strengthen the NFL game, and I look forward to contributing any way that I can.”
