While he is widely regarded as one of the best head coaches in the NFL, Mike Tomlin struggled to find success with the Steelers in the second half of his tenure.
Pittsburgh lost seven playoff games in a row dating back to the 2016 season, with the most recent coming in the Wild Card round this year against the Houston Texans.
That was the straw the broke the camel’s back, leading to Tomlin and the Steelers parting ways.
Tomlin refused to speak about his job status in the presser following the Texans game.

“You know, it’s not time for talk,” he said.
“We agreed that we’d meet tomorrow and go from there. When you’re in this single-elimination tournament, there’s not a whole lot to talk about. You win or you go home.”

Tomlin ends his Steelers career with a 193-114-2 record in the regular season but an 8-12 record in the playoffs.
