Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s immediate future appears to be something of a talking point following the team’s AFC Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that another NFL team called the Steelers to inquire about trading for Tomlin, although any such move would require the coach’s approval given his no-trade clause.
“Last week, we said there will be teams that would check into the availability of Mike Tomlin, and one did, and one was told that Mike Tomlin has a no-trade clause in his contract,” Schefter said. “So, anything that would happen in Pittsburgh involving Mike Tomlin would come with his consent and his consent only.
“A loss like last night’s might further teams to look into it. Pittsburgh hasn’t given any indication that it wants to move on from Mike Tomlin, and this has been the most patient franchise, not just in football, but maybe sports.”
