Mike Tomlin has served as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach since 2007 and this offseason, became the longest-tenured active head coach in American professional sports. But no one can coach forever, leaving NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero to wonder if that end date could be sooner than later.
Joining The Rich Eisen Show Friday afternoon, Pelissero made waves by suggesting Tomlin could be year-to-year. Not as an official report but the tea leaves of a long-term coach who seemingly has questions over his future every year.
“They’re in win-now mode as they are every year with Mike Tomlin, who himself is at least somewhat on a year-to-year basis as he enters his 19th season as the Steelers head coach,” Pelissero told Eisen.
