Mike Tomlin, the longtime coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has made it clear he's not in a rush to jump into another coaching gig. Even though he's stepping down after 19 seasons, he's not ready to commit to a new team in 2026. Teams have been reaching out, but Tomlin's response has been consistent: he's not planning to coach next year.
This news comes as a bit of a surprise to some, especially since there was talk about Tomlin possibly moving into broadcasting. But for now, it seems like he's taking a step back from the game. Tomlin still has time left on his contract with the Steelers, which means any new team interested in him would have to work out a deal with Pittsburgh.
The big question now is what's next for Tomlin? Will he take a break from coaching altogether? Or is he just waiting for the right opportunity to come along? Steelers owner Art Rooney II is expected to share more details soon, so we might not have to wait too long for answers.
One thing's for sure: Tomlin has a lot of experience and knowledge to offer, whether he chooses to coach again or not. It'll be interesting to see what path he decides to take.
