Steelers will probably hire a 30 year old up and coming coach.

No, Mike Tomlin does not own his "rights" outright; he is under contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the team still holds his contractual rights as he chose to step down, not get fired, meaning they control his ability to coach elsewhere without a trade, though he could pursue media opportunities or a break. Since he wasn't fired but resigned after 19 seasons, the Steelers still possess his contractual rights, requiring a trade if another NFL team wants him for coaching, or he can take time off or go into TV, according to reports from early 2026. 

I worded it wrong I met Steelers had his rights. He will probably go to TV. 19 years of coaching and all winning seasons HOF is for sure next!

I wasn't trying to contradict you or anyone, I was adding info, nothing more. 

I think Marcus Freeman will be the next head coach for the Steelers!

I know many think Tomlin will go to TV, and maybe he will. But he does not strike me as a riveting listen/personality.

I agree.  I think he is good in a presser and/or with some good one liners but I don't think I want to listen to him all game long.

Yeah, he is a soundbite coach-speak type of guy. Raheem Morris is another name that comes up for TV spots. Now THAT I can definitely see.

1- Agreed and loved with Aaron Rodger’s thoughts on MT last night.

2- Harbaugh and Tomlin are the last we will see in our lifetime’s of their NFL tenure’s at one organization.

To your #2, I assume both will be on another team's sideline sooner, rather than later, so that would not hold. And in fairness, neither of their NFL tenures began with Baltimore or Pittsburgh, respectively. 

Maybe Jon Gruden!

I could have sworn I read a few hours ago he was no longer the coach of the Steelers.

We all know as I said in the coaching carousal thread that he did deserve to be allowed to step down and not be fired after all he had done for the franchise, but let's not kid ourselves if he had refused to step down he would have been fired. They handled it a lot better than the Ravens or he went out with more class than Harbaugh. Maybe Harbaugh said he would not set down.

Rooney said he wouldn't be fired weeks ago
