In the aftermath of Saturday’s AFC wild card loss, Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin made it abundantly clear he’s not yet ready to acknowledge an uncertain road ahead in regards to his coaching future.
Tomlin, the Steelers coach since 2007, took the podium for his usual post-game media session following Pittsburgh’s 31–17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The proceedings took a sudden turn, however, after Tomlin fielded a question from ESPN’s Brooke Pryor that began with the reporter saying, “Mike, you have a year left on your contract.”
Before Pryor could finish the question, Tomlin abruptly walked off the podium and ended his press conference, leaving the media and fans to speculate on what the coach will do with his contract set to expire after the 2024 season.
