In recent media discussions, Mike Tomlin’s job security has become a subject of speculation, drawing attention from pundits on various platforms. He boasted a noteworthy résumé that positions him on a trajectory toward the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It also helped him align with the storied history of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Last week’s outcomes have triggered a national evaluation of Tomlin’s leadership. However, it seems that HC Tomlin’s position is not at risk. Even a famous American Sports writer has given his insight on the topic, where he’s mentioned the future of the Steelers head coach.

Mike Tomlin: Stable with the Steelers?

Since the 1969 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been under the guidance of only three head coaches—Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and the current leader, Mike Tomlin. As Tomlin marks his 17th season at the helm in 2023, it’s noteworthy that he has maintained an impressive track record. He’s never concluded a season with a losing record. With a cumulative record of 170-100-2 and an impressive ten playoff appearances, sustained success has characterized Tomlin’s coaching tenure.

The Steelers clinched a Super Bowl victory in his second season and reached another Super Bowl in his fourth. So marking such a feat, even Adam Schefter is with the belief that Tomlin wouldn’t be going anywhere. He said, “They’re not firing Mike Tomlin. But, here’s a thing that’s interesting, he’s got a year left in his contract, and there are some people who believe that Mike Tomlin could decide to eventually take some off.”

Then he added that the only reason Tomlin wouldn’t continue with the Steelers would be because he wants that for himself. There are rumors as well about Tomlin supposedly opting to be the coach of the Commanders. But there’s no chance that this decision would be coming from the management. Even Mike Florio is on the same page as Schefter.

Mike Florio thinks Tomlin will stay

Mike Tomlin’s coaching legacy faces a rare challenge. The Pittsburgh Steelers, despite his renowned job security, grapple with a concern—his streak of seasons with a .500 record or better is in jeopardy. 2023 regular season kicked off with promise, boasting a 7-4 record, but optimism dwindled after three consecutive losses following quarterback Kenny Pickett’s injury. The team’s descent now finds them in the 10th spot in the AFC standings, raising questions about the resilience of a franchise accustomed to success under Tomlin’s guidance.

The wild-card race behind teams like the Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, and Buffalo Bills, the Pittsburgh Steelers are resolute about Mike Tomlin’s leadership. Amid external speculations, from the inside perspective, Florio believes, “A lot of noise on the outside. Inside, it’s business as usual for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have no desire whatsoever to make a change at head coach. …They’d actually like to extend his contract, which runs through the 2024 season.”
