The longest-tenured active NFL Head Coach Mike Tomlin has extended his rein in Pittsburgh after signing a three-year contract extension.

The Pittsburgh Steelers boss has spent a whopping 17 years in ‘Steel City’, but has no intentions to leave any time soon.

The 52-year-old put pen to paper on a new deal, which will see him through to the end of the 2027 campaign.

Despite a few rumours surrounding his future with the organisation, the news would not have surprised most, as Tomlin is only the third Steelers head coach since 1969, displaying tremendous loyalty.

Tomlin etched his name into the league’s history books on a couple of occasions.

He became the youngest NFL Head Coach to win a Super Bowl title in 2009 after he led the ‘Rooneymen’ to grasp the Lombardi Trophy after their 27-23 victory agaisnt the Arizona Cardinals in  Super Bowl XIII, at the age of 36.

However, that achievement was later claimed by LA Rams head coach Sean McVay.

Mind-blowingly, the head coach has managed to achieve a positive record in every one of the 17 seasons he has overseen so far.

Tomlin has certainly delivered magnificent results during his lengthy tenure with the franchise.

He even had to deal with a quarterback limbo between Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky, after Pickett underwent surgery on his ankle following his week 13 injury against the Cardinals.

Despite this, the 52-year-old was able to utilise the bundles of experience he has bagged over the years to steady the ship and guide his team to a 10-7 record.

Overall, the head coach has crafted a staggering record of 173-100-2.
