Mike Tomlin Says He's Spent 'Like 12 Years' Building 'Minecraft' City in Video Game

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was known for his stoic nature on the sidelines, but he has a hobby that would surprise many.

Tomlin, who is now a football analyst for NBC Sports, revealed to TODAY's Craig Melvin that he's been playing the famed video game Minecraft for over a decade.

"I started playing Minecraft, man, when my kids were young," Tomlin said. "I have a Minecraft city, I'm creative, that I've been working on for like 12 years."

Tomlin's dedication to his Minecraft city isn't surprising, as he was the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL before stepping down at the end of the 2025 season. It sounds like his meticulous approach to coaching football carried over to his gaming habits.

Tomlin went on to reveal that he and his children have been discussing the possibility of unveiling his Minecraft city to the masses.

"We've been talking recently about sharing it with the world," he said. "My oldest son is like, 'Dad, you gotta share this with the world. People need to see this city that you've been working on for 12 years.' We've been talking about it recently about how am I gonna share it with the world."
