Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made it clear during his end-of-season press conference that he intends to remain with the team, dismissing trade inquiries with a straightforward message: "Save your time." Entering his 18th season, Tomlin reflected on the team's disappointing playoff exit, acknowledging a 28-14 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens that marked their fifth first-round playoff loss in eight years.

The Steelers' season began with promise, holding a 10-3 record before a late-season collapse, which Tomlin attributes to a failure to perform at critical moments. Despite criticism from fans regarding the team's playoff struggles, Tomlin's long-term contract and the organization's history suggest he will continue to lead the Steelers.
