The Steelers have had an awful run of first stage playoff exits under Tomlin[/caption]

His team were beaten 28-14, exiting at the Wild Card Round in disappointing circumstances.

It was the Steelers sixth consecutive postseason defeat in a row.

But the AFC North side have made a call on whether or not to cut their losses with Tomlin.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he will NOT be fired this offseason.

This is despite public outcry from fans and analysts.

The team want to stick with him for the 2025 season, despite the embarrassing early playoff exit.

Tomlin only signed a three-year extension before this NFL campaign.

That will keep him with the team until 2027.

He is the longest-running head coach in the league.

The 52-year-old is on $15 million-a-year.

It is the eighth time the Steelers have lost in the first round of the playoffs under Tomlin.

He has been with the side for 18 years.

Steelers insider Gerry Dulac revealed the shock news on social media.

And that caused an outcry from furious Steelers fans, who have demanded change.

One supported raged: “Gonna need to make every home game hell for him.

“Fire Tomlin chants start in preseason.

Another added: “Steelers fans will need to show their disapproval and opinions via their wallets and call-in talk shows.

“This take offered by Mr. Dulac seems to leave open, Tomlin resigning.

“Does @coachtomlin have any integrity?

“He and his family know the rumblings and they’re well-deserved.”

The Steelers defeat in Baltimore wasn’t the only issue for Tomlin.

It came after five end-of-season losses in a row for Russell Wilson and Co.
