Steelers' Era Shifts: Tomlin Resigns, McCarthy Takes Helm

0:00On March 25, Pittsburgh Steelers fans were stunned when head coach Mike Tomlin resigned after 19 seasons at the helm. He never posted a losing record and guided the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2008. The news hit right after a wildcard playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Players described the locker room as already somber and Tomlin's announcement made the day even tougher and more emotional. His team members praised him as a true player's coach who connected deeply with everyone over the years. His sudden exit left a big void in a franchise known for steady success. Now the Steelers have tapped Mike McCarthy, formerly with the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers to take over. In 18 NFL seasons, he boasted a winning percentage of about 608, though he's had some down years. McCarthy faces the challenge of sparking deep playoff runs while Tomlin plans a short break before possibly jumping into broadcasting after signing. With a sports media agency, the Steelers air shifts a head full steam.
