The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Friday that they’ve officially signed HC Mike Tomlin to a contract extension, according to Gerry Dulac.

• Ian Rapoport confirms the news and adds that he’s under contract through the 2020 season.

A report from a few weeks ago mentioned that Tomlin’s contract with the Steelers vested based on the number of wins the team has had. Tomlin is now under contract with Pittsburgh through the 2019 season.

Tomlin is widely considered to be one of the best head coaches in the NFL, so it’s not surprising to hear that the Steelers have at least considered the possibility of extending his contract beyond the 2019 season.

Tomlin, 45, was hired as the Steelers head coach back in 2007 and managed to win a Super Bowl in just his second year with the franchise.

In total, Tomlin has a career record of 103-57 (64.4 percent), which includes seven playoff appearances in 10 seasons.
