This will be a long process, but hopefull Coach Wilson will recover.

Condolences also to Mike Tomlin on the loss of his dad, Ed Tomlin.

Wilson sounds like hes in worse shape than initially reported. Wish him well in his recovery.

A shame about Tomlin's dad too - he sounded relatively young and healthy.

Rough stretch for the team lately. Hope that ends the bad news.
