The head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers has finally stated that he won’t be leaving despite a great deal of conjecture. For the time being, however.
After head coach Mike Tomlin said he would talk about his future his family after his team’s Wild Card Round loss to the Buffalo Bills, you could probably forgive anyone in Pittsburgh who felt the writing was on the wall. In addition, he left when reporters questioned him about his future plans. In the end, Tomlin is not moving. Who would have guessed?
Mike Tomlin will lead the Pittsburgh Steelers for another season, according to sources on Tuesday. Tomlin clarified to the squad during a meeting on Tuesday that rumors regarding his future with the team were “unfounded.” In case you missed it, Tomlin will be leading the Steelers for his 18th season as their coach. With the departure of Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, he will be the team’s longest-serving coach.
Remarkably, Tomlin has never had a season finish lower than.500. He even led his team to a Super Bowl victory in 2008, spearheaded by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Tomlin’s record as of right now is 173-100-2. Regretfully, in recent times, the Steelers have not been able to sustain the same degree of achievement. That’s true—the team hasn’t advanced to the postseason in three of the last six campaigns, and it hasn’t won a postseason game since 2016. Since Roethlisberger’s retirement, the club has, quite frankly, struggled to find its footing again. This has been made worse by Kenny Pickett’s struggles and the organization’s decision to keep Matt Canada as offensive coordinator, who has shown to be an inadequate replacement.
Isn’t that the million-dollar question? Tomlin’s contract expires this year, and while there have occasionally been rumors that he may be fired, the majority of the conversation in recent years has been on whether or not he will resign. The 51-year-old recently said he would take some time to talk to his family about his options, as was indicated at the beginning of this article. Either way, Tomlin is expected back and the Steelers will be looking back on another disappointing season. Maybe the better issue is, what will Tomlin do differently now that he’s here, rather than if remaining is the proper decision.
