Of Mike Tomlin's 19 seasons (2007-2025), the Steelers won at least one playoff game in exactly four: 2008 (Super Bowl champions), 2010, 2015, and 2016. No playoff wins since.
No.
After checking historical NFL coaching records, Mike Tomlin is unique: 19 seasons with playoff wins in only 4 (2008, 2010, 2015, 2016).
Other coaches with 19+ seasons all had far more:
- Tom Landry (29 seasons): many playoff wins
- Don Shula (33 total): 19+ playoff appearances
- Dan Reeves (23): 11 playoff wins
- Pete Carroll (19): 11 playoff wins
- Bill Parcells (19): multiple deep runs across teams
Long tenures typically come with more postseason success. Tomlin's recent 9-year playoff win drought is also among the longest since the 1970s.
Just finished Never Fold, the Aces Documentary, and honestly I still don't think the team received enough recognition for such a tremendous and historic season.
God is good. 🙏🏽🤟🏽
