Pittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II has expressed strong support for head coach Mike Tomlin, while emphasizing the urgent need for postseason success. Despite the team’s recent playoff drought, Rooney remains confident in Tomlin’s leadership and his ability to guide the Steelers to another Super Bowl victory.
In a statement, Rooney acknowledged the growing impatience among fans and the organization, stating, “We’ve had enough of this. It’s time to get some wins; it’s time to take these next steps.”
Rooney’s comments suggest that while Tomlin’s position is secure, there is an expectation for significant improvements. He noted, “I think the players still respond to Mike, and that’s number one… if we didn’t think Mike was able to lead us to a championship, he wouldn’t be here.”
The Steelers have not secured a playoff victory since 2016, intensifying the pressure to deliver results. Rooney’s remarks indicate that the organization is poised to make necessary changes to enhance the team’s performance, with a clear focus on ending the postseason win drought.
As the Steelers prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Tomlin and his coaching staff to see how they address these challenges and strive to meet the high expectations set by ownership and fans alike.
For fans eager to see the Steelers in action, the next game is scheduled as follows:
