There’s a compelling argument that the Steelers should consider a strategic reset. Mike Tomlin’s contract runs through 2027, providing generational stability, but there’s growing speculation that parting ways might ultimately serve both sides better.

The NFL has a historical precedent for coaching changes that result in Super Bowl appearances—since 1997, six coaches who were moved have gone on to Super Bowl success. This suggests that moving on from an established coach like Tomlin, while unorthodox, can sometimes catalyze a franchise’s resurgence.
