Overview
- Glazer, a close friend of Tomlin, said this weekend that Tomlin would refuse the New York Jets job even for an extraordinary sum and that there is “no shot” he would take that franchise.
- Tomlin has told NBC that he is enjoying his new analyst role and says he has not given serious thought to returning to coaching.
- Glazer pointed to specific problems at the Jets, including organizational instability and owner meddling, as reasons veteran coaches would avoid the team.
- Reporters note Tomlin remains a likely target if he chooses to return because he finished his Steelers run with a 193-114-2 record, 13 playoff trips and a Super Bowl title.
- Contract terms could also slow any comeback since Tomlin’s NBC deal is backloaded and a reported Steelers extension or team option might complicate an immediate return to the sideline.
