Steelers Shocker As 'Stale' Mike Tomlin Urged By Legend To Leave
Famously, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been a model of coaching consistency as they have engineered their way to a streak of incredible longevity in the head coach's office over the past 56 years. Consider ... Advertisement Dating back to 1969, when Chuck Noll took over for Bill Austin, who went 11-28-3 in three seasons from 1966 to 1968, Pittsburgh has had just three coaches. Noll marched along the sidelines for 21 seasons, winning four Super Bowls, with just seven losing seasons in that time. Bill Cowher took over in 1992 and stormed those same sidelines and won a Super Bowl with just 3 losing campaigns in 15 NFL seasons. Cowher retired after the 2006 season when Mike Tomlin took over. Tomlin is entering his 19th season for the Steelers with one Super Bowl under his watch, with an astonishing zero losing seasons. But ... one Steelers legend now says there is a "but.'' ... claiming that Tomlin's voice in the locker room has grown "stale.'' Advertisement "I believe Mike Tomlin should coach in another organization,'' Ryan Clark said. "Mike Tomlin should be a fresh voice somewhere else. ... I believe his voice has run stale there.'' Make no mistake; Clark, now an ESPN analyst, is a supporter of Tomlin's. Said Clark: "I believe he's allowed that team to reach the highest of heights they're going to reach unless they can get a top-tier quarterback. I've said time and time again, I do believe that should be the decision he makes.'' The "get a quarterback'' thing is ... a problem. And yet Tomlin isn't likely going anywhere in the immediate future. The coach signed a new deal back in 2024 that will take him through until the end of the 2027 campaign. Advertisement Entering his season 19, Tomlin might have his biggest challenge ahead of him since ... well, since last season. The team managed a 10-7 mark and made the playoffs without top-notch play quarterback, and split the season between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson. They're both gone now, and Tomlin and the Steelers are in trouble under center. Unless the Aaron Rodgers saga turns out positively, with the four-time league MVP not only suiting up in the black and gold for the first week of the season but also playing at a high level ... Tomlin's streak might be up. And according to Clark, maybe his time should be up, too.

Bill Cowher believes 1 QB is the Steelers' best choice in 2025—and it's not Aaron Rodgers
It seems everyone—from analysts, commentators, and former players to even fans—has a different opinion on who should be the Pittsburgh Steelers' starting QB in 2025. The Black and Gold fanbase has been up in arms over the possibility of four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers making his way to the Steel City, and they may be happy to know that former Steelers HC Bill Cowher is against the idea as well. According to the Super Bowl XL champion head coach, Russell Wilson is what's best for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025: 'I personally think that Russell Wilson is your best choice. It's gonna be a better offensive line room with [Troy Fautanu] coming back and moving [Broderick Jones] to left tackle. I'm thinking you're looking at the best receiving corps you're gonna have in a long time.' Cowher is right on the money, as Wilson's struggles to finish off the 2024 season could be largely due to an oft-injured offensive line, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers having one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL—a problem that has since been solved with the arrival of star WR DK Metcalf. Bill Cowher says the Steelers best choice would be Russell Wilson. #Steelers #NFL — Blitzburgh (@Blitz_Burgh) March 18, 2025 This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Bill Cowher believes Russell Wilson should be Steelers' 2025 starter
