Overview
- Tomlin resigned in January after the Steelers’ 30-6 wild‑card loss, closing a 19‑season run that included a Super Bowl XLIII title and a 193-114-2 regular‑season record.
- He has joined NBC’s Football Night in America as a studio analyst and has used his first full offseason in decades to focus on wellness and reconnect with family.
- In interviews this week Tomlin said he believes the 2026 Steelers can reach the Super Bowl and singled out Aaron Rodgers’ decision to return as a key signal of the team’s belief.
- Pittsburgh hired Mike McCarthy and worked with GM Omar Khan on offseason roster moves that reunited McCarthy with Rodgers, a pairing Tomlin says boosts the team’s chances.
- The Steelers retain Tomlin’s coaching rights under his contract, teams were told he did not plan to coach in 2026, and his NBC deal leaves open the possibility of a coaching comeback in future seasons.
