Report: Mike Tomlin will decide his future with the Pittsburgh Steelers after the season.

For the Steelers and Head Coach Mike Tomlin, the season has been interesting, and there is still talk about his future.

Tomlin, who is in his 17th season, is the head coach with the longest career in the NFL and has never had a losing campaign.

Even if Pittsburgh won its final three games to qualify for the playoffs, there is still talk that Tomlin might not play in 2024.

The Steelers want to extend Tomlin’s contract, according to a Pro Football Talk story. However, he hasn’t made a decision yet

and want to speak with his family following the season.

“He’s got a year left on his contract,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said via Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “And there are

some people around the league who believe that Mike Tomlin could decide eventually to take some time off like Sean Payton

did. Maybe take a year off. … Mike Tomlin gets to dictate what happens here, not the Pittsburgh Steelers. They’re not firing

him. He’s staying on, but he’s staying on if he wants to. But if he decides that he’d like to walk, well, that’s a different subject.”

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports agreed that the decision on whether Tomlin returns to Pittsburgh next season will be up to him.

“Mike Tomlin, a couple weeks ago, people were asking for him to be gone. Are you kidding me people?” Glazer said on Fox via

Cook. “He’s never had a losing season. Mike Tomlin, it will be his choice if he goes back to the Steelers or not.”

Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski made it clear Sunday that Deshaun Watson is the starting quarterback heading into next

season, despite Joe Flacco leading the Browns into the playoffs.
