Pittsburgh Steelers coach Tomlin resigns after 19 years: club

A statement from Steelers president Art Rooney said Tomlin, who had two years remaining on his contract, had elected to step down following the team's 30-6 wild card loss to the Houston Texans on Monday. Tomlin, 53, led the Steelers to a Super Bowl championship in 2009 and never had a losing season in his nearly two-decade stint in Pittsburgh, a feat Rooney said would likely never be repeated. "During our meeting today, coach Tomlin informed me that he has decided to step down as our head coach," Steelers chief Rooney said in a statement.
