Steelers Legend Ben Roethlisberger Suggests Team Should Fire Mike Tomlin

Roethlisberger, 43, urged a respectful coaching change after Steelers' 6-6 start and recent losses, suggesting Tomlin could succeed at Penn State due to strong recruiting skills.

  • On Tuesday, December 2 Ben Roethlisberger suggested on his Footbahlin podcast that a respectful split might be best, saying `Maybe it's a clean-house time. I have a lot of respect for Coach Tomlin, but maybe it's best for him, too.`
  • The 2025 Steelers are 6-6 and have lost three of their last four, including a 26-7 home defeat on Sunday, November 30, their fifth loss in seven games intensifying fan frustration.
  • Former players and commentators argued that Mike Tomlin’s coaching is questioned, with James Harrison saying on the December 1 Deebo and Joe podcast he never considered Tomlin a 'great coach', Ryan Clark criticizing team decisions, and Stephen A. Smith calling for change.
  • The pressure is now on Mike Tomlin to turn the season around and guide the Steelers to an AFC North division crown, with their crucial matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in the coming weeks.
  • Roethlisberger urged that any departure of Mike Tomlin be respectful, suggesting an agreement like with Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher and floated Tomlin as a Penn State candidate after James Franklin’s firing.
