This NFL offseason, Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers were the subject of numerous speculations. Although many predicted that the two sides would split apart, it didn’t actually happen. Rather, Tomlin is getting ready to guide the squad into yet another campaign.

Tomlin has been among the NFL’s most successful coaches in history over the years. He has never, in fact, guided the Steelers to a losing campaign.

Considering this, pundits have already begun speculating about Tomlin’s potential departure from the Steelers following the 2024 NFL season.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin Set To Have His First Losing Season In 2024 "Based On Who's Playing Quarterback"

In a very strange prediction from sports analyst Colin Cowherd, he hinted that the Steelers would end up firing Tomlin after the 2024 NFL season.

“Did you see the last six quarterbacks Pittsburgh faces? [Joe] Burrow, Deshaun Watson, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, [Patrick] Mahomes and Burrow. Mike Tomlin is going to be on a network broadcasting.”

Making that kind of a prediction off of the final six games of a 17-game season is a bit of a reach. Cowherd is clearly saying that he expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to have a bad season this year. However, the prediction that Tomlin is “going to be on a network broadcasting” is a major miss as well.

If the Steelers were to move on from Tomlin, he would be scooped up by another team in no time. He is truly one of the best coaches in the NFL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to have progressed over the previous campaign. For those who don’t recall, Tomlin had extremely subpar quarterbacking to lead the team to the playoffs. Pittsburgh improved throughout the summer, not deteriorated.

Though obviously the season must go on and anything may happen, Tomlin has a far superior roster than he did in 2023 and is in a much better position. It makes no sense to make these kinds of predictions ahead of time for the season. It appears to be attempting to coerce individuals into clicking on it.

How Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers begin their 2024 campaign will be interesting to watch. They hope that with so many new faces on the roster, they can all gel soon. Along with Tomlin leading the way, the playoffs are always a very real possibility.
