Mike Tomlin should be calling games, not working in a studio

Our Summary

Mike Tomlin, current head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is reportedly considering a move to television in 2026. Speculation suggests that Tomlin could join Fox, potentially serving as a game analyst rather than a studio personality. Known for his engaging communication style, Tomlin is considered well-suited for providing concise and insightful analysis during live broadcasts. However, challenges exist due to the current contracts held by top analysts across networks. While Fox has a long-term deal with Tom Brady, other networks like Prime Video might be more viable options for Tomlin, given the criticism of their current NFL analysts. This potential career shift highlights the evolving dynamic of NFL broadcasting, where former coaches and players continue to transition into media roles.
