Mike Tomlin, Steelers Agree to 1-Year Contract Extension Through 2021

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced an agreement Thursday with head coach Mike Tomlin on a one-year contract extension through the 2021 NFL season.

Tomlin, who became the storied franchise's 16th head coach in 2007, guided the team to a championship with a Super Bowl XLIII victory over the Arizona Cardinals in 2009.

"I am pleased to announce we have extended Mike Tomlin's contract through the 2021 season," Steelers president Art Rooney II said. "Mike is one of the most successful head coaches in the National Football League, and we are confident in his leadership to continue to lead our team as we pursue our goal of winning another championship."

The 47-year-old Virginia native has posted a 125-66-1 record in the regular season and an 8-7 mark in the playoffs across 12 years with the Steelers.

"I am very appreciative of this contract extension and opportunity, and want to thank Art Rooney II and everyone in the organization for the support in my first 12 seasons," Tomlin said. "We have a goal of winning the organization's seventh Super Bowl championship, and I couldn't be more excited about this upcoming season."

The William & Mary product also had 12 years of assistant experience at the collegiate and pro levels before getting hired by Pittsburgh. He previously worked as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defensive backs coach and Minnesota Vikings' defensive coordinator in the NFL.

Looking ahead, the Steelers are tied for the 10th-best championship odds for the 2019 season at 20-1, tied with the rival Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys, per Vegas Insider.

Tomlin will look to join Chuck Noll as the only coaches to lead the team to multiple titles.
