On Saturday afternoon, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was in the front row of Rupp Arena to watch the Kentucky basketball team host Ole Miss. Tomlin was a guest of Kentucky basketball head coach John Calipari and was sitting next to Kentucky football head coach Joker Phillips. ESPN found Tomlin in the crowd and showed him on camera, but Tomlin became a bit irritated when the cameraman wouldn't leave him alone.
It happened when ESPN returned from a timeout in the first half. ESPN showed Tomlin in the front row, and Tomlin tried to ignore the camera and pretend that it wasn't there. However, after the cameraman stayed on him a little too long, Tomlin faced the camera directly and said "You had enough, bro? You had enough? I'm trying to watch the game."
In the background, you can hear a behind-the-scenes ESPN voice saying "We're on. We're on", followed by another voice, presumably the cameraman, saying "I'm moving."
Tomlin tried to play nice and let the cameraman have his shot, but it did get a little awkward the longer the camera lingered. However, that's part of being an NFL head coach, and Tomlin understands that. Tomlin did his best to not completely lose his cool but clearly made it known that he was not happy.
