With Tomlin Leaving, Spoelstra Becomes Longest Tenured Active Coach in Major US Sports
Mike Tomlin led the Steelers to six Super Bowl titles, 13 playoff appearances, and never had a losing season in 19 years, Steelers president said.
- Mike Tomlin told Steelers president Art Rooney II `During our meeting today, Coach Tomlin informed me that he has decided to step down as our Head Coach.`
- Coming one day after the Wild Card loss to the Houston Texans, the Steelers faced their seventh straight playoff loss, tying Mike Tomlin with Marvin Lewis for most consecutive postseason defeats.
- Across his time in Pittsburgh, Tomlin led the franchise to its sixth Super Bowl and made 13 playoff appearances, including winning the AFC North eight times.
- The Steelers immediately opened a search for Tomlin's replacement, with the team stating 'The search is now on' and candidates to watch, as he will be just the fourth head coach in Pittsburgh since 1969.
- The move amplifies recent NFL turnover, with Tomlin and John Harbaugh now both out of a job, leaving Andy Reid, Chiefs head coach, as the only one with at least 10 seasons at the same team.
