NFL 2025 Season

I can assure you this was a resignfired situation.

The Steelers don't fire coaches. This also allows for compensation to the team if any of these teams (like the Giants) want Tomlin to coach next season.

Effectively a mutual parting of ways

The situation has slowly come to this point over the last 5 years.

There is no way Steelers Nation was going to allow yet another year of Tomlin - it had boiled into a toxic situation.

Look, thank you for your service. You won a Super Bowl. You always kept us relevant. But there are a lot of weaknesses under the Tomlin regime and it was time for a change.

He will likely coach again if he wants to. Plenty of terrible teams need a stabilising player-friendly coach to come in and right the ship a bit - Tomlin will get his guys to play hard every game. He's perfect to take a team like the Jets, Giants, etc, etc to some modicum of respectability.

But he ain't getting a good team over the top

I don’t keep up with the Steelers but his QBs recently have been atrocious, terrible beyond words. Maybe that’s on him, but if so he wins a lot for a bad coach either way bad QBs. If he wants to coach again I think he’ll be successful, but I think he takes the Cowher route (I always thought Cowher would end up at UNC).
 
The steelers head coaching job is a terrible one. The best players are pretty much all old AF, but they drafted just OK enough that most coaches will scrounge about 6 wins out of for the forseeable future.

The fanbase gonna be enraged because they aren't good enough for the playoffs and because they aren't tanking properly.
