“We turn to our search for our next head coach,” Rooney said during his press conference on Wednesday. “Omar [Khan] and I will lead the search and we’ll have others in the organization to help as we go forward.”

It will be the first time that Rooney will...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II revealed during his Wednesday press conference that he does not think anyone on the staff currently will be a candidate for the vacant head coach position.

“Right now, I don’t think anybody on our staff is a candidate,” Rooney said. “Maybe a candidate to stay on the staff depending on what the new head coach wants to do, but probably not as a head coach.”

Mike Tomlin stepping down as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach created renewed speculation in Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman making the jump from college to the NFL. On Wednesday, Freeman squashed any of those whispers. Holding an afternoon press conference, he rejected the notion he’d leave Notre Dame for any pro opportunity. “I’m the head coach […]

Mike Tomlin will not be coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026. But he wasn’t fired. Tomlin stepped down from his position on Tuesday, which is crucial, since Art Rooney II’s Steelers still hold Tomlin’s rights as he was under contract. Naturally, that’s raised some questions.

Obvious as it may be, Mike Tomlin exiting the Pittsburgh Steelers likely means Aaron Rodgers won’t be returning, either.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for their fourth head coach since 1969, and with an aging roster and a question mark at the quarterback position, the idea of a rebuild has been floated ever since the team’s 30-6 Wild Card Round loss to the Houston Texans, and especially after Mike Tomlin stepped down on Tuesday.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have plucked three relatively unknown defensive coordinators and watched them grow into the best head coaches in the franchise’s history. After longtime leader Mike Tomlin resigned on Tuesday, Steelers president Art Rooney II isn’t pigeonholing his head coaching search to fit the same criteria.

“For now, I don’t wanna sort of put any real parameters around it,” Rooney said during a press conference on Wednesday. “We’re gonna be an open book in terms of who we look for and the list that we build. Can I sign up for another Chuck Noll or another Bill...

That doesn’t mean they will constrain their search or close their minds to other options to replace […]
