PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he believes not all of his coaching staff’s contracts continue into the 2025 season, and that could be the impetus for change on the staff. Tomlin himself is under contract through the 2027 season, but his assistants could see significant change.

To Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't stuck. To be stuck, he said Tuesday, would insinuate the organization is helpless, and he doesn't feel that. So does that mean he's optimistic about the direction of the team after a fifth consecutive one-and-done postseason foray?

The Pittsburgh Steelers finished off the 2024 season in the worst way possible. They lost five straight games, capped off by a disheartening 28-14 playoff defeat to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night.
