Steelers Back Mike Tomlin Despite Playoff Struggles

Team president Art Rooney II reaffirms confidence in Tomlin's leadership but hints at potential staff changes after another disappointing postseason.

Art Rooney II expressed firm support for head coach Mike Tomlin, citing his long track record of success and leadership abilities.
Tomlin, who has never had a losing season in 18 years, has faced criticism for a six-game playoff losing streak dating back to 2016.
Rooney acknowledged frustration with the team's recent performance but indicated Tomlin's job is secure through his contract, which runs until 2027.
Potential changes to Tomlin's coaching staff are being considered, including possible moves involving defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and offensive line coach Pat Meyer.
The Steelers face significant roster decisions, including addressing quarterback uncertainty and potential contract extensions for key players like George Pickens and T.J. Watt.
