The Pittsburgh Steelers signed head coach Mike Tomlin to a three-year contract extension through the 2027 season, the team announced Monday.
The 52-year-old is entering his 18th season with the team.
“Mike Tomlin’s leadership and commitment to the Steelers have been pivotal to our success during his first 17 years as head coach,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement. “Extending his contract for three more years reflects our confidence in his ability to guide the team back to winning playoff games and championships while continuing our tradition of success.”
One of the most respected coaches in the NFL, Tomlin fueled speculation after leaving a press conference when asked about his coaching future following a wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, the longtime coach – who had one year left on his contract – said he remained committed to the team in January.
