Curt Popejoy, Steelers WireWed, January 14, 2026 at 2:33 AM UTC·1 min readOn Tuesday, during his press conference, Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti got the news that Mike Tomlin had stepped down as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach after 19 seasons. The reporter who informed Bisciotti of the Tomlin news then asked whether Tomlin would be a consideration for the Ravens head-coaching vacancy. Bisciotti looked genuinely surprised and his response was genuine and hilarious.
"Holy sh*t, Mike, wouldn't that be awesome," Bisciotti said. "Only if John takes the Pittsburgh job. Wow, wouldn't that be interesting. I don't know. That thing last week, maybe disqualified him from my opening, after our kicker missed a kick to let them advance. Good for Mike. Yeah, I don't know. Talk to him. I love Mike. I mean I've admired Mike for 18 years. That's really shocking that he did it that way. Yeah, that's kind of crazy."

We don't expect Tomlin to coach anywhere next season but if he does, it would be via a trade as the Steelers retain his rights. As for Harbaugh, it would be strange to see Harbaugh running the Steelers, but in terms of resume, there's no better coach on the market.
