The Pittsburgh Steelers have solidified their commitment to head coach Mike Tomlin by signing him to a three-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through at least the 2027 season. Tomlin, who took over as head coach in 2007, has amassed an impressive record of 173-100-2 and has never experienced a losing season during his tenure.
In a statement, Tomlin expressed his gratitude for the extension and his determination to lead the Steelers to sustained playoff success, with the ultimate goal of securing the franchise's seventh Lombardi Trophy.
Despite speculation about his future following a first-round playoff loss last season, Tomlin has reaffirmed his commitment to the team and his enthusiasm for the upcoming seasons. The Steelers are coming off a 10-7 season and are focused on making a deeper postseason run.
Under Tomlin's leadership, the Steelers have maintained a high level of competitiveness but have not won a playoff game since 2016. The team's recent moves, including changes to the coaching staff and significant acquisitions in the quarterback room, reflect a renewed emphasis on achieving playoff success.
Owner Art Rooney II praised Tomlin's leadership and expressed confidence in his ability to guide the team to future victories. The extension of Tomlin's contract underscores the Steelers' commitment to building a championship-caliber team.
As the Steelers prepare for the upcoming season, Tomlin's extension provides stability and continuity for the organization. The team will begin mandatory minicamp this week before gearing up for training camp in July.
With Tomlin at the helm, the Steelers are poised to continue their pursuit of excellence and add to their storied history of success in the NFL.
