Mike Tomlin Reported to Join NBC’s Football Night in America as Studio Analyst

The reported hire signals NBC’s push to refresh its Sunday showcase with a current coaching voice.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Tomlin agreed to become a top analyst on NBC’s Football Night in America, though NBC has not announced the move.
  • Reports say Fox pursued Tomlin for its pregame show, but NBC is expected to add him to its Sunday lineup.
  • The role would fill the seat vacated by Tony Dungy, who was told last month he would not return after 17 seasons.
  • NBC is reshaping the pregame for 2026 with a leaner, possibly on‑site format, and reports list host Maria Taylor with Jason Garrett and likely Devin McCourty, while the roles of Rodney Harrison, Jac Collinsworth and Chris Simms are in flux.
  • Tomlin remains under contract with the Steelers after stepping down in January, which could require a team to compensate Pittsburgh if he returns to coaching before the deal expires.
