Report: Teams reaching out to Mike Tomlin told he doesn't plan to coach in 2026

NBC Sports general

Key Points:

  • Mike Tomlin has not revealed his plans after stepping down as Steelers head coach following 19 seasons, with indications suggesting he will not take another coaching job immediately.
  • Despite interest from NFL teams, Tomlin has communicated that he does not intend to coach in the 2026 season.
  • Tomlin still had time remaining on his Steelers contract, meaning any coaching move would require compensation negotiations between a new team and Pittsburgh.
  • Currently, it appears such negotiations may not be necessary, and further details are expected when Steelers owner Art Rooney II addresses the media.
