The Pittsburgh Steelers awarded Head Coach Mike Tomlin a 2 year Contract extension which will keep Tomlin in Pittsburgh until 2020.
"I am pleased to announce we have extended Mike Tomlin's contract through the 2020 season," Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a statement. "Mike continues to prove he is one of the top head coaches in the National Football League. We appreciate the leadership that Mike has provided over the last 10 seasons, and we are confident and excited to have him continue to lead our team as we focus on winning another championship."
Mike Tomlin is one of the NFLs top Head Coaches . He has a 103-57 W/L record in Pittsburgh and has 2 SuperBowl appearances (1-1) in his 10 year Head Coaching term in Pittsburgh. That's not including his previous resume in Tampa Bay. Mike Timing is a great Coach and the results speak for themselves. Going into his 11th season (2017) as HC , Tomlin finally has his fingerprints and DNA in the Roots of this Steelers Team . He drafted the whole personnel on defense aside from James Harrison and now are sporting a Championship Caliber Defense on paper. Not only did Tomlin build one of the NFLs youngest & fastest Defenses throughout the Draft & Free Agency but he did it Magically under the Cap. The Steelers Defense rank 31st in NFL according to The amount of spending of Salary Caps. The Steelers Defense was built for $63 Million which is 31st lowest in The league. Now that's Genius! The same could be said for the majority of the Offense although it is highly expensive. Here is Coach T' s response.
"I truly appreciate this contract extension, and I want to thank Art Rooney II for his support as well as everyone within the organization," Tomlin said. "My first 10 years in Pittsburgh have been an amazing experience for me and my family. I'm proud to call Pittsburgh home. My focus is on the upcoming season, and our goals remain the same as they always are -- to bring a seventh Super Bowl championship back to our city."
