Football Night in America analyst and ex-Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin would reportedly be in “extremely high demand” if he left the broadcast booth back for the sidelines, but “it’s not considered automatic” that he’d make the return, per Mark Maske of Front Office Sports.
“Mike Tomlin is expected to be in extremely high demand as an NFL head coaching candidate in the coming months, but it’s not considered automatic that he would leave his broadcasting job at NBC to accept a big-money coaching offer, sources tell Front Office Sports.
“It’s believed that Tomlin’s contract with NBC would allow him to depart the network for an NFL coaching job. But other factors, such as the demands of coaching as compared to those in his promising broadcasting career, are expected to receive consideration, according to those sources.”
Tomlin, 54, spent 19 seasons (2007-2025) as the Steelers’ head coach, going 193-114-2, making 13 playoff appearances and winning eight AFC North titles, two AFC Championships and one Super Bowl.
