Super Bowl winning coach Mike Tomlin will be back on the Pittsburgh Steelers sidelines for an 18th season, according to a report from NFL Media.

Tomlin shared his intentions to return to coaching the Steelers for the 2024 season during a team meeting on Tuesday, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported. Tomlin's decision comes just one day after Pittsburgh's loss to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round.

Tomlin's teams have never finished a season with a record below the .500 mark during the coach's 17 seasons at the helm. In just his second season as an NFL head coach, Tomlin helped lead the Steelers to victory in Super Bowl XLIII.
