Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who led the team for 19 seasons, said his new analyst position on NBC’s "Sunday Night Football" is "part‑time work, full‑time pay" during a Wednesday appearance on the "New Heights" podcast hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce.
Tomlin was asked whether he favors his former team on air; he replied that his long‑term connection to the Steelers makes it natural to root for them and that he is not apologising for it. He added that he has a job to do and will do it.
When commenting on a controversial finish involving the Washington Commanders, Tomlin called the team's overtime handling "disgusting." He also criticized the Dallas Cowboys’ coverage in a later game and said he would never rule out returning to coaching, noting "never say never."
