Not only are the Pittsburgh Steelers not firing head coach Mike Tomlin, they intend to get him under contract even longer, so said team owner Art Rooney II. He said that during his first round of media interviews in the wake of the 2023 season. Recently sitting down with KDKA’s Bob Pompeani, he explained why he believes Tomlin is still the man for the job.
“When you see Mike’s interaction with players in the building and certainly the respect that particularly the veteran players have for him and their belief in him”, he said, “Mike is one of the best coaches in the league as far as I’m concerned, and we’re happy we have him”.
