Overview
- Tomlin exits after 19 seasons with a 193-114-2 record and no losing years, though Pittsburgh has not won a playoff game since the 2016 season.
- Multiple outlets report Tomlin is not expected to coach in 2026, with strong interest from TV networks for a studio or analyst role.
- Because he resigned rather than was fired, any team seeking Tomlin would need to negotiate compensation with the Steelers, echoing the Sean Payton precedent.
- Harbaugh’s dismissal after 18 seasons adds to a busy market, with nine teams pursuing head coaches and reports linking him to interviews and early interest from the Giants, Falcons and Titans.
- Local coverage frames the departures as a rare opening for the Browns to gain ground in a division losing two long-time culture setters, contingent on Cleveland fixing its offense and quarterback play.
