Mike Tomlin became the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2007. He is the longest-tenured active coach in the NFL.

Tomlin was Pittsburghโ€™s successor to Bill Cowher, who was arguably the most beloved Steelers coach of all time.ย 

Prior to taking the job as head coach of the Steelers, Tomlin had worked for one year as defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings. He had also worked as an assistant for several college programs, including Memphis, Cincinnati, Arkansas State, and Virginia Military Institute.

How Many Super Bowls Has Mike Tomlin Won?

Mike Tomlin has two Super Bowl rings. His most well-known comes from Super Bowl XLIII, when his Steelers defeated Arizona at the end of the 2008 NFL season.

However, Tomlin also has a ring from Super Bowl XXXVII, thanks to his five years as a defensive backs coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.ย 

Who’s the Winningest Coach in Steelers’ History?

Chuck Noll is the winningest coach in Steelers history, having accumulated 209 wins in the 23 years he worked as the head man in Pittsburgh.

Prior to the start of the 2024 season, Mike Tomlinโ€™s record as head coach of the Steelers was 181-109-2.ย 

Tomlin’s strong record and year-to-year consistency is a major factor in the Steelers’ odds market.
