Mike Tomlin’s 17th season as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach ended abruptly on Monday when his team was beaten 31-17 by the Buffalo Bills in a game that wasn’t really that close. After the game, when Tomlin went to the podium to address the media, he got a question he really didn’t like.
Mike Tomlin walked off the podium when I started a question with “you have a year left on your contract.”

At this time, Tomlin has one year left on his contract. The Steelers finished the 2023 season with a 10-8 record, and they haven’t won a playoff game since the 2016 season.
