Tomlin was named the Steelers' head coach in 2007. He took over for Bill Cowher, who coached from 1992 to 2006 and won the 2006 Super Bowl with Pittsburgh. When he stepped down as head coach, Cower left with a 12-9 playoff record, winning at least one playoff game in eight of the 10 times he led the Steelers to the playoffs.

Pittsburgh Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin has won with awing consistency in the regular season and found regular disappointment in recent postseasons.

While the Steelers are consistently competitive under Tomlin, they haven’t won a playoff game since eight years ago, when they reached the AFC Championship game. They have struggled to find a successor to longtime quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, having moved on from 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett after just two years.
