Another one-and-done exit from the AFC playoffs has many frustrated and largely fed up with the Pittsburgh Steelers under head coach Mike Tomlin, and rightfully so.
The loss to the Buffalo Bills Monday in the AFC Wild Card Round marked the fifth straight loss in the playoffs for the Steelers, and their fourth straight one-and-done appearance. Though there was speculation that Tomlin was going to either mutually part ways with the Steelers, resign and take a step back from coaching for a year, or force a trade elsewhere, none of that will come to fruition. Tomlin reportedly told the team Tuesday in the end-of-year team meeting that the speculation was “unfounded” and that he’d be back for 2024 as the head coach of the Steelers.
