Mike Tomlin decided to step down from being the Steelers’ head coach on Tuesday after 19 seasons with the team. His choice obviously impacts the organization in many ways, but it sounds like that ripple effect starts with his coaching staff.
The search is on for Tomlin’s replacement, which will be led by owner Art Rooney II and general manager Omar Khan. The team informed Tomlin’s coaching staff this week that they should invite other opportunities as there’s no guarantee for a future for them with the Steelers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac reported on Thursday. The new coach will need to rehire them in order to remain on the staff. All of Tomlin’s staff have contracts expiring at the end of February.
