"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, Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement. 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."
"Tomlin leaves the Steelers never having recorded a losing season during his long tenure with the team, but Pittsburgh's loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night extended a streak of playoff losses, and there were scattered chants of Fire Tomlin from the home crowd. Tomlin's Steelers last won a playoff game in the 2016 season. During his nearly two decades in charge of the team, Tomlin compiled 193 wins in the regular season."
