Breaking after a historic 19-season run in Pittsburgh: Mike Tomlin just informed his team he is stepping down.
You gotta understand, when they hired Tomlin, Tomlin was a one-year defensive coordinator.
And he got hired when he was 34?
They will hire a young guy.
Like, this is the team that, yes, really might just go way out of left field.
More than people will think.
What a season!
Absolutely.
Nine openings?
Yeah.
There's one quarterback in this class.
This was the right time for Tomlin.
It was the right time to do it for the team, because Tomlin does not want to sit here and rebuild, and they need to.
Yep, rebuild.
Now, I think Tomlin will spend one year at Fox.
NFL Sunday, just like Sean Payton did.
He'll be yucking it up.
Mm-hmm.
With Gronk, Terry, and the boys there.
Mm-hmm.
And everybody's going to be loving it.
And be good at it.
Steelers will miss Mike Tomlin, and he'll be right back in the coaching cycle.
If not in 2027, it will be 2028.
People need to accept this sometimes.

Doesn't mean it didn't mean something.
