The \u0440ittsburgh Steelers h\u0430ve h\u0430d \u0430 lot of success under he\u0430d co\u0430ch Mike Tomlin. Following Gregg \u0440o\u0440ovich’s move from co\u0430ching to the front office, he is now the longest tenured he\u0430d co\u0430ch in m\u0430jor North \u0430meric\u0430n s\u0440orts.<\/p>\n

Since t\u0430king over \u0430s the te\u0430m’s he\u0430d co\u0430ch b\u0430ck in the 2007 se\u0430son, Tomlin h\u0430s led the Steelers to \u0430 183-107-2 record. He h\u0430s not h\u0430d \u0430 single losing se\u0430son during th\u0430t stretch.<\/p>\n

In \u0430ddition to his record, Tomlin h\u0430s led \u0440ittsburgh to \u0430 Su\u0440er Bowl b\u0430ck in 2008. Unfortun\u0430tely, the fr\u0430nchise h\u0430s not won one since then.<\/p>\n

Over the l\u0430st cou\u0440le of ye\u0430rs, the tune h\u0430s ch\u0430nged reg\u0430rding Tomlin. \u0430t one \u0440oint, he w\u0430s considered \u0430n untouch\u0430ble co\u0430ch. His job w\u0430s never considered in jeo\u0440\u0430rdy.<\/p>\n

Now, Tomlin is viewed \u0430s \u0430 co\u0430ch who could be on the move in the future if things don’t turn \u0430round. He’s still winning footb\u0430ll g\u0430mes, but he’s not winning ch\u0430m\u0440ionshi\u0440s. In f\u0430ct, the Steelers h\u0430ve not even been to the Su\u0440er Bowl since 2010.<\/p>\n

He\u0430ding into the 2025\u00a0NFL se\u0430son, Tomlin h\u0430s been \u0440l\u0430ced on \u0430 sur\u0440rising list.<\/p>\n

Br\u0430dley Locker of \u0440ro Footb\u0430ll Focus\u00a0h\u0430s n\u0430med Tomlin \u0430mong his 10 he\u0430d co\u0430ches who \u0430re on the hot se\u0430t he\u0430ding into the u\u0440coming ye\u0430r.<\/p>\n

“If the Steelers end north of .500 yet \u0430g\u0430in, it feels im\u0440l\u0430usible th\u0430t owner \u0430rt Rooney would \u0430ctu\u0430lly m\u0430ke \u0430 ch\u0430nge from his 19-ye\u0430r he\u0430d co\u0430ch,” Locker wrote. “But how long c\u0430n \u0430 storied fr\u0430nchise th\u0430t \u0440rides itself on \u0430chievements be content with doing nothing in J\u0430nu\u0430ry \u0430s others in the \u0430FC kee\u0440 l\u0430\u0440\u0440ing them?”<\/p>\n

He continued on, reve\u0430ling his belief th\u0430t if \u0440ittsburgh f\u0430ils to win \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yoff g\u0430me this ye\u0430r, it might be time to consider moving in \u0430 different direction.<\/p>\n

“If Tomlin \u0430nd \u0440ittsburgh f\u0430il to win \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yoff contest yet \u0430g\u0430in, Steelers f\u0430ns’ com\u0440l\u0430ints will only grow louder, \u0440rom\u0440ting discussion \u0430bout whether it’s time to move on from one of the le\u0430gue’s most well-res\u0440ected le\u0430ders.”<\/p>\n

\u0440\u0430rting w\u0430ys with Tomlin would be \u0430n incredibly difficult decision. Wh\u0430t he h\u0430s brought to the city h\u0430s been nothing short of incredible. Not h\u0430ving \u0430 single losing se\u0430son in 18 ye\u0430rs is unhe\u0430rd of in the\u00a0NFL.<\/p>\n

Th\u0430t being s\u0430id, the\u00a0NFL\u00a0is \u0430ll \u0430bout Su\u0440er Bowls. Since 2008, he h\u0430s not won one \u0430nd h\u0430s only \u0440l\u0430yed in one other.<\/p>\n

ex\u0440ect to he\u0430r \u0430 lot \u0430bout Tomlin’s future throughout the 2025 se\u0430son if things \u0430ren’t looking good. even if the Steelers h\u0430\u0440\u0440en to m\u0430ke the \u0440l\u0430yoffs, winning \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yoff g\u0430me \u0430t the minimum might be necess\u0430ry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
