Mike Tomlin on John Harbaugh: "Our stories will forever be interwoven"

Former Ravens coach John Harbaugh's longstanding rivalry with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is currently on hold following Harbaugh's departure. Their match-ups spanned 18 seasons and 40 meetings, with Tomlin leading the series 23-17. Tomlin expressed respect for Harbaugh and acknowledged the transient nature of coaching roles in today's sports culture, emphasizing the lack of patience and longevity in the profession. The NFL sees significant head-coaching turnover annually, with around 25 percent of positions becoming vacant. Although Tomlin is not expected to be fired, there are indications he may consider a television role after the Steelers' postseason concludes. Harbaugh, who may continue his coaching career elsewhere, would likely welcome further opportunities to compete against Tomlin in the future.
