Steelers coach Mike Tomlin STORMS OUT of postgame press conference after being asked about his future with the team following Pittsburgh’s playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin left his post-game press conference after a reporter pointed out that he has only one year left on his contract following his team’s playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Tomlin’s job security has been a topic of discussion for most of this season, but was thought to have been pushed to the fall when the Steelers finished the season with 10 wins and a berth in the playoffs. That was not the case.

The press conference appeared to be nearing its end when someone from the NFL or Steelers communications staff asked if there were any questions.

After a few moments, a question came from the press corps: “Mike, your contract still runs for another year.”

Tomlin began to leave the press conference before the word “contract” was uttered.

Tomlin is now the NFL’s longest-tenured head coach after Bill Belichick parted ways with the New England Patriots last week.

The Steelers have not had a losing season in 17 years with Tomlin at the helm, but have won just one Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh also hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016, its longest streak in 50 years.

The lack of championships and recent postseason success have led some to want Tomlin out.

His supporters include Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who called some in the media “jacka**es” for suggesting Tomlin should be fired.

Tomlin is a mainstay among minority coaches in the NFL, as the Jets’ second-longest minority head coach is Robert Saleh, who just completed his third season in New York.

Now only time will tell whether Tomlin’s job security was more fragile than thought.
