Things are good for the Steelers right now.
They’re AFC North Champions and heading into the first playoff home game, with fans, since 2018 for a Monday nigh showdown against the Houston Texans at Acrisure Stadium.
No matter what happens in the playoffs, one thing seems very clear, Mike Tomlin will be back for the 2026 season.
The Steelers head coach is under contract through 2027.
The reality of Tomlin leaving, even if they collapsed and lost the division, was extremely unlikely for the stable Steelers.
But add to that a divisional championship, no way Tomlin isn’t leading the Steelers for a 20th season.
The only way Tomlin would leave is if he is the one that wants to call it quits.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report that Tomlin is not getting fired and there is no indication that he leaves for TV or another team.
“There are no signs, behind the scenes, of Mike Tomlin even thinking about potentially walking away here,” said Pelissero on the NFL Network.
