Mike Tomlin isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. On Thursday, the Steelers extended their head coach through the 2021 season, per a team announcement. 
“I am very appreciative of this contract extension and opportunity and want to thank Art Rooney II and everyone in the organization for the support in my first 12 seasons,” Tomlin said. “We have a goal of winning the organization’s seventh Super Bowl championship, and I couldn’t be more excited about this upcoming season.”
The Steelers pride themselves on consistency and have had only three head coaches since 1969. There was some speculation about Tomlin’s job security after the Steelers missed the playoffs last year, but the team clearly has confidence in him as a leader.
This season may prove to be Tomlin’s most challenging yet – he’ll look to get the Steelers back into contention without the services of superstars Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.
maybe he’ll do more with less talent. i can only hope. last year was terribly disappointing.
To all Steeler fans I would not have any Super Bowl dreams this coming season. Looking at their schedule they are at best a nine win team they need to evaluate who their next big stars are going to be this season and go all in next season.
He should have been fired a couple of years ago not getting an extension
Well, that’s a legitimate vote of confidence.
BIG MISTAKE
No surprise here at all. Tomlin is a company man thru and thru and it’s not like the Steeler’s had a stampede of HC candidates banging on the door to take over a team that ranks 32nd in cap space.
Nice with his decision making and Rothlescancer they should be about 6-10 this year. Maybe Rothlecancer can accost another female and have someone to blame for that also.
Mistake
I Guess the Steelers’ Management believes Tomlin can regain the respect of his players because if he can’t they’ve just made a very expensive blunder.
Agreed
