Steelers President Art Rooney II stated: “Mike Tomlin’s leadership has been a cornerstone of our success for 17 years. This extension reflects our confidence in his ability to lead us back to playoff victories and championships while upholding our proud tradition.”
Hired in 2007, Tomlin joins Steelers legends Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher as only the third head coach since 1969, cementing his place in the team’s illustrious history.
Remarkable Achievements

Tomlin’s 173 career regular-season wins rank second among active NFL coaches, and he holds the distinction of being the only head coach in NFL history to begin his career with 17 consecutive non-losing seasons.
Vision for the Future
Tomlin expressed his gratitude: “This extension motivates me further to bring sustained playoff success and strive for the franchise’s seventh Lombardi Trophy.”
As the longest-tenured head coach with a single team in the NFL, Tomlin’s leadership continues to inspire optimism for the Steelers’ future. With his strategic acumen and proven track record, the team is poised for continued success.
This contract extension is a declaration of Pittsburgh’s belief in their leader to deliver on their championship aspirations.
