“Here We Go… Buccaneers?”
January 13th, 2026

Free agent.

And the shoe just dropped.

Super Bowl-winning coach and the leader of the Pittsburgh Steelers for nearly two decades, Mike Tomlin, just resigned.

There is a sect of Bucs fans thinking Team Glazer is waiting to dismiss Bucs coach Todd Bowles if Team Glazer has real a chance to hire Tomlin. Well, that fantasy is alive now that Tomlin resigned today.

The trick for those who want Tomlin over Bowles, what has Tomlin done the past 10 seasons that Bowles has not? Steelers fans today are rejoicing because Tomlin hasn’t won a playoff game in nine years.

Tomlin, since Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season, has turned into Father Dungy II. Good defense, bad offense and failure in January.

Careful what you wish for.
