Tomlin Steps Down, Harbaugh Fired in AFC North Reset After 37 Combined Years

Both decisions signal a preference for fresh leadership after years of limited playoff returns.

Overview

  • Mike Tomlin resigned after 19 seasons with the Steelers following a 30-6 wild-card loss to the Texans.
  • Tomlin leaves with a 193-114-2 record and no losing seasons, though his teams have not won a playoff game since 2016.
  • The Ravens dismissed John Harbaugh after 18 seasons as owner Steve Bisciotti said it was the right time to change course.
  • Bisciotti indicated support for Lamar Jackson when explaining the move, while Harbaugh departs with a 180-113 mark and a Super Bowl title.
  • The exits accelerate an active coaching market, with reports suggesting Tomlin will draw interest for future jobs or could explore television.
