"During our meeting today, Coach Tomlin informed me that he decided to step down as our Head Coach. Obviously, I am extremely grateful to Mike for all the hard work, dedication and success we have shared over the last 19 years. It is hard for me to put into words the level of respect and appreciation I have for Coach Tomlin."
"He guided the franchise to our sixth Super Bowl championship and made the playoffs 13 times during his tenure, including winning the AFC North eight times in his career. His track record of never having a losing season in 19 years will likely never be duplicated. My family and I, and everyone connected to Steelers management, are forever grateful for the passion and dedication Mike Tomlin has devoted to Steelers football."
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is stepping down after 19 seasons as head coach. He leaves as the longest-serving head coach of a singular North American professional sports franchise and with a record of never having a losing season. Tomlin guided the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory at the end of the 2008 season, led the team to two conference championships, and won seven division titles. His teams reached the playoffs 13 times and won the AFC North eight times. Tomlin’s postseason record was 8-12, with the last playoff victory coming in 2016 and a nine-year postseason win drought to end his tenure.
