Ryan Clark Suggests Mike Tomlin Consider Leaving Steelers for Fresh Start

The former Steelers safety believes Tomlin's leadership could thrive elsewhere, drawing comparisons to Andy Reid's career trajectory.

  • Ryan Clark, a former Steelers player, suggested that Mike Tomlin explore opportunities with other NFL teams, believing his coaching voice may be more effective in a new environment.
  • Clark compared Tomlin's situation to Andy Reid's transition from the Eagles to the Chiefs, which revitalized Reid's career and led to multiple Super Bowl victories.
  • Tomlin has not won a playoff game in eight years, despite maintaining a record of .500 or better in every season since becoming the Steelers' head coach in 2007.
  • Speculation about Tomlin's future intensified after the Steelers' 28-14 wild-card playoff loss to the Ravens, capping a season that started strong but ended with a five-game losing streak.
  • Tomlin, who recently signed a three-year contract extension with a no-trade clause, dismissed rumors about his departure, stating he remains committed to his role in Pittsburgh.
