Mike Tomlin(II)
- Writer
Mike Tomlin was named the 16th head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history on
January 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlin became only the third head coach
hired by the Steelers since 1969.
Through nine seasons, Tomlin has accomplished many things that have never been
done in the team's storied history. His 92-52 regular-season record (.639) is the best
start in franchise history, and he became the youngest head coach in NFL history to
both coach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23 victory over
the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII (26 years, 323 days). By winning the Super
Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, he also became the fastest to win
a Super Bowl title in Steelers history.
