Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has cemented himself as one of the most successful head coaches in NFL history. Since becoming the team’s coach in 2007, he has brought the Steelers to 17 straight seasons without a losing record, which is the most in league history. However, the aging head coach soon be on the move as he has revealed what he plans to do after the 2023 season.
Could another big-name head coach be on the move? Mike Tomlin will make a decision
According to Pro Football Talk, Tomlin will make a decision about his future after the team’s season comes to an end. The Steelers are currently in the playoffs and will face the Buffalo Bills this coming Monday, and many fans and analysts are speculating that it can be Tomlin’s last game with Pittsburgh. It is unclear to this point whether he will be with a different franchise or announce his retirement, but many think that his time with the Steelers will be coming to an end.
NFL fans have begged for the long-time head coach to come to their team after this report came out, and here are some of the reactions amongst the NFL world.
Some fans are calling for Tomlin to join the New Orleans Saints saying that he already has interest in their players like Taysom Hill. Others are saying that the head coach will remain with Pittsburgh and that the rumor that he is contemplating his future is “invalid.” Tomlin still has another year left on his contract with the Steelers, so while he may remain with the team for one more season, it is possible that he could be on the move sooner rather than later.
Pittsburgh continues to shock the NFL world by getting away with more wins than losses even with their mediocre play, and Tomlin is a big reason for their success. Will the long-time head coach remain with the Steelers for at least one more season, will he go to a different team, or will he call it a career?
