Le'Veon Bell Reacts to Mike Tomlin Stepping Down After Historic Steelers Career

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down from his post on Tuesday after 19 seasons on the job, ending a decorated run that included a Super Bowl title, two Super Bowl appearances, 13 playoff appearances and zero losing seasons.

After the announcement, former Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell reacted to the news and wished Tomlin well:

While Tomlin's run was a legendary one, it was probably time for a change in scenery for all parties involved. The Steelers haven't won a playoff game since 2016 and haven't exceeded 10 wins since 2020.

Pittsburgh will also likely be in the market for a new quarterback this offseason, with the future of 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers up in the air. The Steelers will now have the chance to pair a new head coach with a new quarterback of the future.

Under Tomlin, the floor was always high. But in recent years, the ceiling was pretty low. The Steelers need to address a number of needs to raise that ceiling, a task that will no be undertaken by a new head coach.
