Ben Roethlisberger Says Mike Tomlin Has Earned the Right to Leave Steelers on His Own Terms

In Week 13, chants calling for Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, began with 10:16 left in the quarter, yet his three-year extension keeps him under contract through 2027.
After an offseason led by Tomlin and Omar Khan, the Steelers added Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, and veteran DBs, but their defense surrendered 35 points in a prime-time loss to the Green Bay Packers.
By the numbers, Mike Tomlin holds a 190-113-2 record with two Super Bowl appearances but hasn't won a playoff game since the 2016 divisional round and sits four wins shy of Chuck Noll's 193 franchise wins.
Inside the building, team insiders say `There's no panic in the building,' and DK Metcalf said `We knew not to pay attention to any outside noise' while Ramon Foster noted `People always want change, and not see it through or they're just done with it.'
Contractually, Tomlin's final season is a club option with a decision due March 1, 2026, and the Steelers front office has historically picked up such options or extended him if successful.
