ORCHARD PARK, NY -- Mike Tomlin didn't wait to hear the rest of the question.
After losing to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round Monday evening, the Pittsburgh Steelers coach walked off the podium in the visitors interview room at Highmark Stadium when he was asked a question that began, "Mike, you have a year left on your contract."
Though he is under contract through the 2024 season, Tomlin's future with the organization after an NFL-record 17 consecutive non-losing seasons as the head coach has been the subject of rampant speculation.
As he's done at the conclusion of previous seasons, Tomlin, 51, is expected to discuss his future with his family and Steelers owner Art Rooney II as the organization enters the offseason.
