With the Pittsburgh Steelers failing to win a playoff game since 2016 and just one AFC North crown over the past five seasons, some fans wonder if Mike Tomlin is no longer the right answer for the franchise. Speaking on Tomlin’s future, Team President Art Rooney II didn’t commit to giving Tomlin a contract extension this offseason.
“I don’t like to speculate on our coach’s contract,” Rooney said via 93.7 The Fan Thursday. “So we’ll see.”
Not exactly the most ringing endorsement of a head coach. But as Rooney hinted at, he doesn’t like to discuss contracts in the public so playing down the question shouldn’t set off alarm bells.
