Mike Tomlin has been with the Steelers since 2007 and won the Super Bowl a year into his time with the Steelers, so it comes as no shock that Tomlin has just been handed a contract extension.

The extension is until 2018 but Tomlin continues just to be focused on the 2015 season. Tomlin has never had a losing season with the Steelers and has made the playoffs five times since he has become the head coach. Tomlin also has 4 AFC North titles so the 2 year extension comes with little surprise. His record as a coach is 82-46, which is pretty impressive in the modern day NFL. The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed however it is expected that Tomlin will be one of the highest paid coaches in the NFL.

Pittsburgh seems to love Tomlin as well; he has won at least 5 home wins for 8 straight years in the Steel city.  Tomlin released this statement in conjunction with the news of the extension.

"I very much appreciate this contract extension, but my sole focus has been and will continue to be meeting the challenges that lie ahead for the 2015 season,"Tomlin said. "These past nine years in Pittsburgh have been a wonderful experience for my family, and I look forward to pursuing what is the Steelers' goal every year - bringing another Super Bowl championship to the City of Pittsburgh."
