"Mike Tomlin's leadership and commitment to the
Steelers have been pivotal to our success during his first 17
years as head coach," Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a
team release. "Extending his contract for three more years
reflects our confidence in his ability to guide the team back to
winning playoff games and championships, while continuing our
tradition of success."
Tomlin, 52, became the NFL's longest-tenured coach after Bill
Belichick departed the New England Patriots after the 2023
season.
Tomlin has compiled a 173-100-2 record in the regular season
since taking over in 2007 and has never had a losing season. He
is 8-10 in the postseason, leading the Steelers to a Super Bowl
win after the 2008 season. His 173 regular season wins are
second most among active head coaches behind Andy Reid (258).
"I am appreciative for this contract extension and thankful for
Art Rooney II for his support during my first 17 years in
Pittsburgh," said Tomlin. "We are continuing to work diligently
to get back to where we belong -- sustained playoff success with
the ultimate goal of winning the franchise's seventh Lombardi
Trophy."
