Mike Tomlin’s abrupt departure from his postgame press conference Monday generated all kinds of speculation of his future with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

If you didn’t already know, the Steelers lost the wild-card round game 31-17 to the Buffalo Bills.

The coach’s quick exit opened the door for online creativity.

The Benstonium social media channels added a little Looney Tunes flavor to Tomlin’s quick exit.

Here’s what with a Simpsons twist.

Game recognize game when it comes to Tomlin and generational memes. Check out this dunk.

TribLive’s Tim Benz speculated in a column that Tomlin’s antics were calculated.

Some call Tomlin the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) at meme material.

Of course, Primanti Bros. got in on the fun with a fries joke.
