Head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin, stated on Thursday that a deal “will get done when it gets done” while speaking about his contract status.

Tomlin said that he felt more comfortable talking to the media about specific subjects, which was a very different sentiment than when he left a post-game news conference following Pittsburgh’s 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC wild card game.

“Today, I feel so much better. Does anyone have any inquiries about contracts? Tomlin, who has one more season left on his contract, just finished his 17th season with the team.

Tomlin claims that the abrupt withdrawal of his availability on Monday was due to the inappropriateness of discussing that subject during end-of-season news conferences. “Certainly, I could have handled the scenario better than I did,” he continued.

 

Before the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Buffalo Bills in a 2024 AFC wild card game at Highmark Stadium, head coach Mike Tomlin crosses the field.

Yes, I do plan to return. Those contractual obligations, in my opinion, will eventually expire, Tomlin stated. “I have an excellent, open connection with Art. We speak with each other frequently and continuously. Though my focus is on coaching this squad, I don’t think there will be any problems, and I think everything will be completed on time.”

In addition, Tomlin stated that after firing Matt Canada in the middle of the season, the team will appoint an outside offensive coordinator.n.
