Overview
- Tomlin informed players of his decision at a 2 p.m. ET team meeting Tuesday, one day after a 30-6 wild-card loss to the Texans.
- The 53-year-old exits with 193 regular-season wins, a Super Bowl XLIII title and 19 consecutive non-losing seasons.
- Pittsburgh has not won a playoff game since 2016, with seven straight postseason defeats to end Tomlin’s tenure.
- Because he resigned while under contract through a 2027 club option, the Steelers can retain his coaching rights and seek compensation if he returns to an NFL sideline before then.
- Reporting indicates major networks are interested in him for television roles or he could take time off, with no next step announced.
