In a display of their commitment to stability and success, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Head Coach Mike Tomlin to a three-year contract extension, keeping him with the team until at least the 2027 season. Steelers President Art Rooney II expressed his confidence in Tomlin's leadership and dedication, acknowledging the pivotal role he has played in the team's achievements over the past 17 years.

With this extension, Tomlin will enter his 18th season with the Steelers in 2024, joining the exclusive ranks of only three head coaches associated with the team since the 1969 season. The distinguished list includes Hall of Famers Chuck Noll (1969-1991) and Bill Cowher (1992-2006).

Speaking about the contract extension, Tomlin expressed his appreciation to Art Rooney II for his support and affirmed his determination to guide the team to further success. He highlighted the Steelers' ultimate goal of winning their seventh Lombardi Trophy and expressed his excitement for the upcoming 2024 season.

As the longest-tenured coach in the NFL with the same team, Tomlin has been a stabilizing force for the Steelers. His impact was immediate, as he became the youngest head coach in NFL history to coach in and win a Super Bowl when the Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.

Throughout his 17-season tenure, Tomlin led the Steelers to seven AFC North titles, most recently in 2020, and secured 11 playoff berths, with the most recent one occurring in 2023. Under his guidance, the team made two Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl XLIII and Super Bowl XLV. Accumulating an impressive record of 173-100-2 (.633) in the regular season, Tomlin ranks second among active NFL head coaches in terms of regular season wins.

What sets Tomlin apart is his consistency. Not only has he never had a losing season during his time with the Steelers, but also he holds the distinction of being the only head coach in NFL history to achieve at least 17 consecutive non-losing seasons at the start of a head coaching tenure. This impressive feat cements his status as one of the most successful and respected coaches in the league.

Moreover, Tomlin's impact is not limited to team success alone. Under his guidance, nearly 80 Steelers players have been selected to the NFL Pro Bowl, a testament to his ability to develop individual talent.

As the Steelers gear up for the upcoming season, the extension of Mike Tomlin's contract reinforces their commitment to sustained success and the pursuit of another Lombardi Trophy. The team and its fans can look forward to the continued leadership and guidance of one of the NFL's most accomplished and respected head coaches.
