Mike Tomlin Could Change New York Football Forever
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the playoffs and the ending feels painfully familiar. The offense stalls, the season ends early, and the same questions come roaring back.
Is this finally the end of the road for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin?
In this segment, the guys break down why Steelers fans are fed up, why Tomlin himself might be ready for a breakup, and how years of offensive coordinator turnover and quarterback purgatory have led to the same postseason result over and over again. They dive into the post Ben Roethlisberger era, the failure to ever bottom out for a franchise QB, and why nine or ten wins might actually be the worst place to live in the NFL.
The conversation also turns to Aaron Rodgers, his latest early playoff exit, and whether this loss says more about Rodgers at this stage of his career or the impossible situation in Pittsburgh.
Plus, the ripple effects for New York. What a potential Tomlin departure could mean for the New York Jets and New York Giants, why sitting out a year could actually raise Tomlin’s value, and how this all mirrors the Sean Payton and Bill Cowher paths.
Is this the inevitable divorce everyone sees coming, or just another chapter in the Steelers being good but never good enough?

I’m a Steelers fan. Been dialed in for the entire ride: be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. And with no talent to bail him out n it’s ALL on him to build a culture and not piggy back off one like with Cowher…..good luck if u get him. Ppl act like he didn’t have Ben Roethlisberger for more time than Cowher did. He had 15 years of a franchise qb and culture installed. So again…..be careful what u fucking wish for.
Tomlinson to the Jets? Sure! And why not add Burrow and Myles Garrett since y’all love dreaming 😂😂😂😂😂
Just came across, they're parting ways
Tomlin going to the Jets would give you that same feeling when you were a kid watching Superman give up all his powers for Lois Lane… with the same results.
garbage talk ,, tomlin isn't leaving a storied franchise to come to a trainwreck … complete bullshxt ,,
this is all you got wfan ?
Just resigned
The jets aren't a serious franchise so they are gonna keep glenn for next season
The Giants now have a choice of harbaugh or Tomlin. Like a kid in a candy store. Lol
Jets need to offer Tomlin EVERYTHING he wants. He changes everything for this team.
I say fire glen now and get Tomalin to wait a year is crazy , we have way to much draft capital to let Glen mess up
Jets fans celebrating Aaron Rodgers losing is why the rest of the league laughs at us
the Jets do not deserve tomlin. The giants, Yes, that would be a good fir.
Jets have a coach jerk
Only jets fans would love to make the playoffs and go nowhere 😂😂
In a year where both Harbaugh and Tomlin are available the Jets will stand pat with future ex head coach Aaron Glenn….😂
He lasted as long as Mike and the Mad Dog.
I agree with Tiki
How does anyone like Evan. I feel bad for Tiki
Huh?!🤔 Ummmm…. To the Jets? It would be a classic Bum loser Woody move to trade first round picks for a .500 coach as your team is below .300 it makes sense to you.
Mike Tomlin was 10-7 in the last 3 season. With 43 year old Rodgers , Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett. A roster completely devoid of talent .This man can coach his ass off .
Would love to have Tomlin but not if we have to trade away picks to get him
Give the Steelers that 2nd overall and he is yours. They own his rights
No
Lo siento por ny agarran un entrenador vividor y sinverguenz
Tomlin is done. Coaching is now a young man's job. Reid is done too.
Mike Tomlin DID go away.
He has step down and reports he is taking year off from coaching probably going into TV Fox is likely front runner
Why worry the jets have Arron glenn😂
I think Rodgers would if came back but now Tomlin gone so he's gonna retire unless Indianapolis wants him til Daniel Jones is ready
Steelers are in QB purgatory because they were unwilling to trade up in multiple drafts. They essentially cheaped themselves out from getting a quality QB. Plenty of winning franchises manage to draft good Qbs despite not initially having a high draft position.
Dude is not coming to New York period this radio sports talk jargon
Trade up in the draft
They could of drafted dart or sanders last year chose to get Rodgers that was a mistake
Tomlin and Harbaugh available. Woody sticking with Glenn. Clown show
Tomlin not coaching anywhere next year im thinking
You’re delusional if you actually think Tomlin would give serious consideration to coach the Jets. After 19 years with one of the class ownerships in the NFL, he’s going voluntarily to one of the WORSE ownerships in the league?
7th
Ironic 3 hours later Tomlin quits😢
This aged well
This show turned into a 🤡 tournament
Tiki Was Spot on About Tomlin….He Stepped Down
Didnt we get Dart with the 25th pick?
If I’m Mike Tomlin, I’m calling it a career . You had basically 20 great years with one franchise this game is different media will help run you out of town along with the fans and now they’re questioning if you’re a Hall of Fame head coach yeah I don’t need this shit if I’m Mike Tomlin, and I’m moving onto other things in my life
