Mike Tomlin in Baltimore? Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti weighs in with incredible two-word reaction

Mark Schofield is a former college quarterback and attorney covering the NFL and F1.Mike Tomlin stepped down as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, bringing to an end a 19-year tenure.
As luck would have it, as news was breaking of Tomlin’s decision, Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti was holding a year-end press conference with beat reporters. Bisciotti is facing a head coaching decision of his own, as the Ravens fired John Harbaugh after Baltimore’s season finale, a loss to Tomlin and the Steelers that eliminated the Ravens from playoff contention, and saw Pittsburgh clinch the AFC North.
When Bisciotti was informed of Tomlin’s decision during the press conference, he immediately had a simple two-word reaction.
“Holy sh!t.”
Bisciotti then entertained the notion of Tomlin perhaps landing in Baltimore, but seemed to dismiss that idea given Tomlin’s post-game celebration, a chest-thumping tribute to UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis.

Imagine if the Ravens hired Tomlin. It probably won’t happen, but that would be pure theater.
