The Pittsburgh Steelers are AFC North champions and are gearing up to host the Houston Texans in the wild card round of the playoffs. There has been speculation, as there has been for a handful of years now, on whether this could be the final year for Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. And while the Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens was thought to silence those talks, ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler reports that it\u2019s still possible Tomlin could leave Pittsburgh at the end of this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike Tomlin\u2019s future has been hotly debated of late,\u201d Fowler writes<\/a>. \u201cThere is no firm evidence as of now that Tomlin would leave Pittsburgh after 19 seasons. He\u2019s been fiercely loyal to Pittsburgh. But a source close to Tomlin believes stepping away is at least a possibility. Does he need a break? It\u2019s a question that hasn\u2019t quite gone away, though only Tomlin truly knows what he will do. The source believes Tomlin would be more intrigued by doing TV than returning to the coaching market, should he leave the Steelers. The source wonders what Tomlin has left to chase as an NFL coach. A separate source with ties to Tomlin is confident he will stay in Pittsburgh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tomlin\u2019s contract runs through 2026 with a team-option year for 2027. Should he come back for the 2026 season, it\u2019s very possible that it would be his final run with the team.<\/p>\n
