MIKE TOMLIN was named the 16th head coach in PittsburghSteelers history on Jan. 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlinbecame only the third head coach hired by the Steelers since1969.

Tomlin became the youngest head coach in NFL history to bothcoach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. By winningthe Super Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, healso became the fastest to win a Super Bowl title in Steelershistory.

Tomlin is one of only seven coaches in league history to win aSuper Bowl within his first two seasons as an NFL head coach.

Tomlin compiled a 43-21 record in the regular season duringhis first four years as head coach. His .672 winning percentageafter four seasons tied for first in team history. By leading theSteelers to a 12-4 record in 2010, Tomlin became only the secondSteelers’ head coach to post winning records in each of his firstfour seasons.

The Steelers’ offense ranked 14th in the NFL (14th passing, 11th

rushing) despite playing its first four games without its startingquarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. Pittsburgh’s defense rankedsecond in the NFL (first vs. run, 12th vs. pass) while leading theNFL with 48 quarterback sacks. The Steelers set a team recordand led the NFL, allowing only 62.8 rushing yards per game.

The Steelers continued to be dominant at Heinz Field underTomlin in 2010. Pittsburgh finished with a 5-3 home record in2010 after finishing 7-1 (2007), 6-2 (2008) and 6-2 (2009) at homeduring Tomlin’s first three seasons. Tomlin’s 24-8 record and.750 winning percentage at home after four seasons ranks secondin Steelers’ history.

Tomlin was a three-year starter at wide receiver at William andMary (1990-94) and finished his career with 101 receptions for2,046 yards and a school-record 20 TD catches. A first-team All-Yankee Conference selection in 1994, he established a schoolrecord with a 20.2 yards-per-catch average.

Tomlin was the NFL’s second-youngest head coach in 2007,and he became only the second Steelers coach in team history towin at least 10 games during his first year at the helm. TheSteelers posted a 7-1 record at home in 2007 and were 5-1 in theAFC North (3-0 at home).

Tomlin became only the second Steelers head coach to win hisfirst three games. During 2007, the Steelers became just the fifthteam in NFL history to win their first four home games by at least20 points.

The Steelers’ defense was dominant under Tomlin’s guidancein 2008, leading the NFL in total defense (237.2), pass defense(156.9), points per game (13.9), total yards per play (3.9), rushingyards per attempt (3.3), passing yards per attempt (4.7) and thirddown efficiency (31.4), and finished second in league rushingdefense (80.3).

Tomlin led the Steelers to a 10-6 record in 2007, and becamejust the second coach in team history to post a winning record,win a division title and earn a playoff berth in his inaugural season.

The Colts scored 13 unanswered points, thanks in large part to threeSteelers’ turnovers. A Roethlisberger fumble set up K Adam Vinatieri’s 21-yard field goal to cut the lead 10-3. And with less than two minutesremaining in the half, Roethlisberger was sacked and stripped and Colts’DE Jamaal Anderson scooped the ball up and returned it 47 yards for atouchdown. On the Steelers’ ensuing drive, Roethlisberger was pickedoff and Vinatieri connected from 25 yards out to give the Colts a 13-10lead at halftime.

The Steelers tied the game 13-13 early in the fourth quarter on Suisham’s44-yard field goal. Midway through the fourth quarter the Steelers’ defenseforced its first turnover of the season on LB James Harrison’s sackand forced fumble. S Troy Polamalu picked up the loose ball and returnedit 16 yards to give the Steelers a 20-13 lead.

The Colts though struck on their next drive. RB Joseph Addai scoredfrom six yards out to tie the game 20-20. But there was plenty of time forthe Steelers to score. Roethlisberger led the team on a 10-play, 60-yarddrive that was capped off by Suisham’s game-winning field goal. It wasRoethlisberger ’s 24th game-winning/overtime drive of his career.Roethlisberger finished with a game-high 364 yards passing with onetouchdown.
