Mike Tomlin is facing the worst crisis of his career as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team has gone 16 years without winning the Super Bowl, and it doesnāt seem like things will change anytime soon.
Additionally, the Steelers have six consecutive playoff losses, the worst streak in their history. Their last postseason victory was back in January 2017. Something incredible for one of the most important franchises in the NFL.

How many times have the Steelers made the playoffs under Mike Tomlin?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached the playoffs 12 times since Mike Tomlin took over the team in the 2007 season. However, the coach admits that the postseason drought is now a significant burden that only he is responsible for bearing.
āAs I told you guys earlier in the week, those are my bags. Not this collectiveās bags. So, my energy is on that group in there and what they were willing to give. The journey that weāve been on this year and certainly it came to a disappointing end.ā
