The NFL was shaken to its foundations when Mike Tomlin confirmed he was stepping away from the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons as head coach. Reports suggest that a job in television is next up for the respected figure, but teams around the league will be keeping a close eye on developments after that.
And that could pile even more pressure on Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn to get things trending upward in 2026.
Tomlin's credentials need no introduction. He's a players' coach. He never had a losing season in Pittsburgh. The respect he is held in around the league is unparalleled.
