Speculation Grows Around Mike Tomlin’s Future, but Giants Job Is Unlikely Destination
As has become customary over the past few years, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's name has been tossed out there in relation to open jobs throughout the NFL.
This time around, ESPN's Mike Greenberg stated that he believes Tomlin would make for a perfect fit in New York with the Giants should he leave
"You've got Malik Nabers, you've got Jaxson Dart, you've got Abdul Carter and a bunch of other good players," Greenberg said on "Get Up". "That's going to be the most desirable job for coaches out there, and I'm just going to throw a name into the conversation: Mike Tomlin.
"If Mike Tomlin and the Steelers, at the end of this season, decide it is time for an amicable parting, that feels like it would be the perfect spot."
Another Year of Tomlin Speculation
As previously mentioned, Tomlin and the Steelers aren't new to the cycle of reports linking him to other head coaching jobs. Just this past January, ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed that the Chicago Bears
The fact of the matter, though, is that until the Steelers rise from the middle of the pack and make some actual noise late in the season or snap their six-game losing streak in the playoffs, the outside speculation won't ever die down.
Why Tomlin Won't End Up in New York
With that being said, it feels like an absolute longshot at best that Tomlin will end up the Giants, or anywhere beyond Pittsburgh for that matter.
Sure, New York is an attractive opening after Brian Daboll's firing due to some of the talent they have on the offensive side of the ball coupled with their young pass rushers. Perhaps Tomlin would have some level of interest in that job if he were to be fired or mutually part ways with the Steelers, but that feels more like a pipe dream than reality at this point.
For starters, Tomlin reportedly has a no-trade clause in his contract and signed an extension with the organization in June 2024, so there's multiple contractual roadblocks in the way.
Furthermore, there's been zero indication that either Tomlin or the Steelers want to end their partnership. Sure, it's frustrating that they haven't accomplished anything of substance recently, but coaches of his caliber aren't just readily available.
Pittsburgh fans are tired of hearing about the 18-straight non-losing seasons and the culture he's built, but Tomlin has continuously proven his prowess on the sideline.
Unless this season truly takes a turn for the worst and the team ends on a lengthy losing streak for a second year in a row, it's a pretty safe bet that Tomlin will return in 2026.
THE ENTIRE NFL WORLD ERUPTS: Erin Andrews Leaves Studio Speechless After Declaring “Jordan Love Is This Nation’s New Quarterback”
The NFL world has erupted in chaos following one of the boldest statements ever made on live television. During a recent post-game discussion, veteran sportscaster
“Is it time for America to move on from Patrick Mahomes?”
Moments later, she doubled down by calling
“It wasn’t meant to disrespect Mahomes,” Andrews later clarified, “but it’s time we talk about what’s really happening on the field. The league is changing, and Jordan Love is part of that change.”
The statement came after a disappointing performance by Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in their loss to the Packers. Analysts had already been questioning whether the Chiefs’ dynasty was beginning to crack, but Andrews’ comment poured gasoline on the fire. Within minutes, hashtags like
Supporters of Mahomes were quick to defend him, highlighting his two Super Bowl victories and record-breaking achievements. “You don’t just move on from the best player in football,” one fan wrote. Others, however, agreed with Andrews, arguing that Mahomes’ recent struggles show he’s no longer untouchable.
“Jordan Love is fearless, efficient, and brings a fresh energy to the league,” Andrews said later in the broadcast. “This isn’t about disrespect — it’s about recognizing who’s leading the new generation.”
The controversy didn’t end there. Several analysts on the panel reportedly tried to steer the conversation away, but the clip had already gone viral. Sports talk shows replayed the moment repeatedly, with some calling it
Former players also weighed in. Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe tweeted, “Respect to Erin, but you don’t replace greatness just because someone’s having a rough month. Mahomes is still HIM.” Meanwhile, retired quarterback
The debate has since evolved beyond football performance and into a cultural discussion about legacy, hype, and the media’s role in shaping public perception. Some critics accused Andrews of intentionally sparking controversy to drive ratings, while others praised her for “saying what everyone else was thinking.”
Inside NFL circles, the reaction was reportedly mixed. Sources close to the Chiefs said Mahomes was “aware” of the comment but refused to engage publicly, focusing instead on preparing for next week’s matchup. The Packers organization, on the other hand, reportedly viewed the statement as validation of
Jordan Love himself responded humbly when asked about the viral moment during a post-practice interview:
“I appreciate the kind words,” Love said. “But I’m just focused on playing my game and helping my team win. Patrick Mahomes is one of the best ever — there’s no replacing a player like that.”
Despite his modesty, the internet has already dubbed this debate the “Quarterback Crown War.” Fans and analysts are now framing every upcoming Chiefs-Packers matchup as a symbolic battle between the old guard and the new face of the league.
As of now, neither ESPN nor Fox Sports has issued an official statement regarding Andrews’ comments. Still, the moment has cemented itself as one of the most memorable live-television exchanges in recent NFL history. Whether you view it as bold truth-telling or unnecessary provocation, Erin Andrews has undeniably reignited a nationwide conversation about what greatness means — and who defines it.
With the NFL season heating up and the Chiefs under growing pressure, all eyes are now on Patrick Mahomes. Can he silence the critics and remind the world why he’s considered the face of modern football? Or has Erin Andrews’ declaration marked the beginning of a new chapter in NFL history — one where Jordan Love becomes the symbol of a changing era?
Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: Erin Andrews has set the football world on fire, and this debate isn’t cooling down anytime soon.
