Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been on a roll for the past 17 years. Ever since he started his coaching career, he has never had a losing season. And now, with a three-year contract extension, he can continue this impressive streak.
The NFL team recently announced that Tomlin will lead the Steelers at least until the 2027 season. The news was met with excitement from fans and players alike. "We have signed Coach Mike Tomlin to a three-year contract extension," declared the team in a tweet, along with a photo of Tomlin and the Steelers' logo.
In a written statement, Tomlin expressed his gratitude for the contract extension and thanked Art Rooney II, the Steelers' president, for his support throughout the past 17 years. "We are continuing to work diligently to get back to where we belong – sustained playoff success and ultimately, winning our seventh Lombardi Trophy," added Tomlin, setting the bar high for the upcoming seasons.
The 2024 season holds a lot of promise for the Steelers, and Tomlin is eager to get started. "I am very excited to kick off the season and give our fans a memorable year," he said.
Tomlin holds the title of the longest-tenured head coach in the league, and rightfully so. He is entering his 18th season with the Steelers, and he has never had a losing season. In December 2023, he made history by becoming the first head coach in the NFL to start their career with 17 consecutive non-losing seasons.
While this is an incredible achievement, Tomlin still has some competition. He needs two more non-losing seasons to match Bill Belichick, the former coach of the New England Patriots, who boasts 19 non-losing seasons. And if he can maintain a .500 record for two additional seasons, he will tie with Tom Landry, who had an impressive 21 non-losing seasons.
"Mike Tomlin's leadership and dedication to the Steelers have been instrumental in our success over the past 17 years," said Steelers President Art Rooney II. "Extending his contract for three more years reflects our confidence in his ability to lead the team back to winning playoff games and championships, while upholding our tradition of success."
Under Tomlin's guidance, the Steelers have won seven AFC North titles, made 11 playoff appearances, and secured two Super Bowl victories. Their most recent win was in Super Bowl XLIII when they defeated the Arizona Cardinals with a score of 27-23. Tomlin's overall regular season record stands at an impressive 173-100-2.
It's clear that Tomlin's leadership has been crucial to the Steelers' success, and the team is excited to see what the future holds under his guidance. As for aspiring NFL players, Tomlin's journey serves as a reminder that hard work, dedication, and a bit of rough housing with your mom can lead to a successful career.
