co/Ipw007D4qI — Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) April 21, 2026 Tomlin stepped down in Pittsburgh after 19 seasons leading the Steelers. He was the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL before stepping away from coaching. The Steelers organization has known just three coaches since 1969.
Tomlin was the third, following Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll. Noll led Pittsburgh to four Super Bowl wins during his 23-season tenure. Cowher coached 15 years in Pittsburgh, leading the franchise to two Super Bowls and winning one.
Tomlin brought the franchise's sixth Lombardi trophy to Pittsburgh in his second year as head coach in 2009 and reached another Super Bowl two years later, falling in defeat to Green Bay. During Tomlin’s 19 years in Pittsburgh, the team never finished with a losing record. The Steelers won 10 games in each of Tomlin’s last three seasons with the franchise.
