The idea of any NFL head coach having time to do this, especially a winning one, is absurd.

If you're unfamiliar with Minecraft, the build he's showcasing isn't actually advanced when it comes to building. Building in Minecraft is almost an art form, and many techniques have been developed over the years. This is because you have limited control over what you want to express: you are operating at a block granularity (more or less) and a limited number of block types that give blocks different textures.

A tech savvy teen could probably write a Java mod that generates something similar to what he's done, even prior to LLMs. An LLM could take a Google Streets feed of NY and replicate it in-game, etc.

And he wouldn't care! The thing he's made is his own, made under his own constraints, shaped by his own mind.

Perhaps a lesson of meaning in the LLM era?

Before Minecraft city (2007–2013): 5–3 in the playoffs — 62.5% win rate

After starting the city (2014–2025): 3–9 in the playoffs — 25.0% win rate

For those without X, "we were tryna win super bowls and coach T was on minecraft building cities "

Ryan Bingham: [after informing Bob that he has been let go] Your resume says you minored in French Culinary Arts. Most students work the frier at KFC. You bussed tables at Il Picatorre to support yourself. Then you got out of college and started working here. How much did they pay you to give up on your dreams?

Bob: Twenty seven thousand a year.

Ryan Bingham: At what point were you going to stop and go back to what made you happy?

Bob: that's a good question.

Yeah, it is fun exploring dungeons with my kids. But it seems he clicked the city together? That part always bothered me with minecraft to build anything big, or repetitive.

Well, I love automation, and AI is awesome for that. So now my kids can add details to castles or railwails build by algorithm (But using commands is a big temptation to destroy game balance in survival mode).

What platform of Minecraft (console, pc, mobile) are you playing on?

my favorite one in recent memory is discovering that singer The Weeknd is really into indie games. (play Arctic Eggs y'all)

The first time I realised gaming was actually happening everywhere and it was actually just that nobody was talking about it was when lady gaga was posting about playing Bayonetta.

Mike Tomlin former NFL player and coach made a giant city in Minecraft 2 points by sans_souse 23 hours ago | past | discuss https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/oct/01/mike-tomlin-mi...

Pssh

Looking forward to his future walkthroughs.

If I were a Steelers fan I'd probably be tearing my hair out, though.

Tomlin is also notoriously great at the podium. He takes “ice in the veins” and “fire in the belly” and is always able to elevate that kind of coach speak and keep it fresh. He’s a tremendous coach.

12 years... does he have 2 or more different backup locations?

consoles aren't the _most_ reliable devices... i'd feel awful if he lost all that because of a bad playstation update

It's only of interest in baseball-invested USians, for the rest of us, no intellectual curiosity.
