BREAKING NEWS: STEELERS MOST VALUED EMPLOYEE WAS ABRUPTLY FIRED. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE
After the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 17-31 AFC Wild Card loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, head coach Mike Tomlin stormed out of the news conference. The longest-serving coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history stressed that he was not yet prepared to respond to inquiries about his future there.
Tomlin’s next move was bound to come up given the amount of talk surrounding his future. Before the game, a lot of people said that Tomlin would talk to his family and make a firm decision about his future as an NFL coach.
Tomlin grabbed the podium to answer questions from the media as part of his customary post-game availability, but things got crazy when ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor said,
That concluded things. With a graceful gesture, Tomlin turned to his left and left the press conference before Pryor could ask him another question. Was it strange? Most likely. What about Tomlin’s prospects, though? The coach’s contract is slate
d to end after the 2024 season, therefore speculation from the public and media over what he will do remains unclear.Following his troubles in the NFL Playoffs, will Mike Tomlin be fired or depart the Steelers?
Even if there have been vain attempts to end the team’s postseason drought since 2016, Tomlin’s tenure as Pittsburgh’s coach is rather legendary. Since Bill Belichick left the New England Patriots last week, he has the longest tenure of any head coach in the National Football League.
Is the front office of the Steelers firing Mike Tomlin in the offseason? Though sources indicate that the 51-year-old head coach may step down, regardless of the remaining year on his contract, it is a very unlikely scenario.
