Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced his departure on Tuesday after 19 seasons, ending an era with one Super Bowl victory, three appearances, and unwavering contention. The move follows a 30-6 wild-card playoff loss to the Houston Texans—the team's seventh straight postseason defeat—and comes amid AFC North shakeups, including the firings of Baltimore's John Harbaugh and Cleveland's Kevin Stefanski. Steelers president Art Rooney II called the day emotional but not entirely unexpected.
