Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II set the record straight following rumors of negotiations with the Chicago Bears to hire Mike Tomlin as head coach for the 2025 NFL season. Mike Tomlin will remain the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the upcoming 2025 NFL season.

Just days after Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reiterated his plans to remain in Pittsburgh, the longtime Steelers coach is still receiving interest. The Chicago Bears and at least one other team have contacted the Steelers about Tomlin’s availability in a trade, according to a league source.

The Chicago Bears are going all-in this season. After drafting Caleb Williams last season, Chicago is overhauling their system to further suit their new quarterback. Their major move this season is to hire esteemed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their new head coach.
