Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin may have stepped down from his old gig, but he’s been very much around the game. Since parting ways with Pittsburgh, Tomlin has found his way into the broadcast realm, now serving as an analyst for NBC’s Football Night in America. The new gig gives the 54-year-old Tomlin the chance to see the game from a different perspective and focus more on other teams and players than he did while coaching Pittsburgh. Perhaps Tomlin still has the urge to get back into coaching football at the highest level. At the same time, he seems to enjoy his new job. For fans, this offers them a chance to see Tomlin share his knowledge of the game, whether it’s related to the Steelers or other teams. Mike Tomlin Names Quarterback He Would Love to Coach Today in the NFL In a recent appearance on Pro Football Focus’ NFL Show, Tomlin was asked if there is a QB today he would want to coach, and he did not hesitate to answer it. “I take Josh Allen,” the former Super Bowl champion head coach responded. “It’d be Josh for me, man. It just seems like he’s at his best in the most critical moments. Late in the games, he finds a way to do it, and he can do it with his arms. He can do it with his legs. He looks like not only does he want it, he needs it. He looks like he’s built for it. I got a lot of respect for that dude. That’s the dude as far as I’m concerned.” "Who do I wanna coach? I'd take Josh Allen." – Mike Tomlin has vehement praise for the Bills QB1 😤 | @JacCollinsworth pic.twitter.com/LC7lqvczD3 — PFF (@PFF) September 8, 2026 Without a doubt, Allen is one of the best quarterbacks out there today in the NFL. After all, he is a recent league MVP and has been among the top producers from under center, while also consistently racking up yards and touchdowns on the ground. Last season, the four-time Pro Bowler Allen passed for 3,668 yards and 25 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.
