Mike Tomlin Has Officially Stepped Down As Steelers Head Coach After 19 Years

The league without Tomlin as the Steelers head coach certainly will feel weird. Sure, it's felt like it's been over for that franchise for a while now with him at the helm, but at the very least things will look a lot differently next year at Heinz Field (is it even still called that anymore?)

And he left without having a losing season in 19 years. What a legend.
