Analyst Believes Mike Tomlin Has Earned ‘Lifetime Contract’ With Steelers

Hired in 2007 and the NFL’s longest-tenured coach, Mike Tomlin seems destined to join Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher as Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coaches who went out on their own terms.

Friday, analysts Maggie Gray and Andrew Perloff debated the notion.

“He’s had double-digit wins in seven out of the last 10 seasons,” Perloff said. “And he’s not been good at offense since Ben retired.”
