Head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin, says he plans to return for the upcoming campaign.
Head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin stated on Thursday that a deal “will get done when it gets done” when speaking about his contract status.
After Pittsburgh’s 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC wild card game, Tomlin walked away from a postgame press conference with a completely different mindset. Tomlin claimed he felt better to talk about certain themes with the media.
Today, I feel so much better. Does anyone have any inquiries about contracts? stated Tomlin, who has one year remaining on his contract after finishing his 17th season with the organization.
Tomlin claims that the abrupt withdrawal of his availability on Monday was due to the inappropriateness of discussing that subject at end-of-season press conferences. “Certainly could have handled the scenario better than I did,” he continued.
Yes, I do plan to return. Those contract items are probably going to expire, Tomlin remarked. “I have an excellent, open relationship with Art. We speak with each other frequently and continuously. Though my focus is on coaching this team, I don’t think there will be any problems and I think it will be completed on time.
Everything related to the Pittsburgh Steelers: the most recent information on the team’s roster, schedule, injuries, and stats.
In addition, Tomlin stated that the team, having fired Matt Canada in the middle of the season, will appoint an outside offensive coordinator.
