JUST IN: Mike Tomlin; Steelers HC survives the head coach purge

The main round of the NFL end of the season games hasn’t as yet even begun and eight NFL coaches are as of now jobless. This incorporates notable names like Pete Carroll, Mike Vrabel Bill Belichick and Ron Rivera. It truly feels like a top-down reorganizing in the NFL.

But not for Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers finished the season with three wins and slipped into the playoffs thanks to Tomlin’s survival of the purge. Even after Tomlin fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada, many fans wanted him gone at the halfway point of the season.

Tomlin joins John Harbaugh and Andy Reid as the last individuals from the privileged few right now training and each of the three are in the end of the season games. This is the way the longest-tenured head coaches currently rank in the league.

1. Mike Tomlin (17 seasons)

2. John Harbaugh (16 seasons)

3. Andy Reid (11 seasons)

4. (tie) Sean McDermott, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay (7 seasons)

5. (tie) Zac Taylor and Matt LaFleur (5 seasons)
