The New York Jets employed seven different head coaches during Mike Tomlin's run with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The departures of Tomlin and Harbaugh from their teams over the past 10 days ended the two longest active coaching tenures in the NFL.

On Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down after 19 seasons at the helm. Tomlin said he made the decision " after much thought and reflection ." Tomlin's departure came hours after the team was dispatched from the playoffs after a lopsided home loss to the Houston Texans in the AFC wild-card round.

Mike Tomlin, who stepped down as Pittsburgh Steelers coach Tuesday, does not plan to coach in 2026, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That decision comes despite several teams contacting Tomlin in the hours following his split with the Steelers, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapaport.

The question of Mike Tomlin’s future plans came up during Steelers owner Art Rooney II’s press conference on Wednesday and his answer was in line with everything else that’s been floating around since Tomlin stepped down on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II spoke with the media on Wednesday, nearly one day after now-former head coach Mike Tomlin announced that he was stepping down from his position.

Are we sure Mike Tomlin is going to be good at his next job? Tomlin, who resigned from the Steelers on Tuesday, is likely heading to TV. Most expect Tomlin, who won a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh, to be in a broadcasting gig for the 2026 season - and perhaps beyond.

Generally speaking, a coach who walks away from his contract can't take a job with another NFL team, absent compensation to his former team.
