Overview
- Tomlin informed the team of his decision Tuesday, one day after a 30-6 Wild Card loss to the Texans, and the organization publicly confirmed it.
- He leaves with a 193-114-2 regular-season record, no losing seasons, a Super Bowl XLIII title, and an 8-12 postseason mark that includes seven straight playoff losses.
- Tomlin departs with two years remaining on the extension he signed in 2024, and team president Art Rooney II said the choice was his.
- Rooney characterized Tomlin’s decision as more family-related and said he understands Tomlin does not plan to coach in 2026.
- The opening is among nine current NFL head-coach vacancies, and Rooney hopes to have a hire in place before the NFL Combine.
