Art Rooney II, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ owner, is confident that postseason success is on the horizon for the team under Mike Tomlin’s leadership. Despite the team’s disappointing playoff exits in recent years, Rooney II believes that Tomlin’s impressive winning record and ability to consistently lead the team to the playoffs will eventually translate to postseason success.
Rooney II’s comments come after the Steelers’ eighth consecutive year without a playoff win, which has led to growing frustration among fans and pundits alike. However, the owner remains optimistic, citing the team’s winning culture and the presence of key players like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward.
While some have questioned Tomlin’s ability to adapt and evolve the team’s strategies to secure deep playoff runs, Rooney II remains committed to his head coach. In fact, the owner revealed that the Chicago Bears had inquired about trading for Tomlin, but the Steelers quickly shut down the talks.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, the Steelers will likely focus on finding their next franchise quarterback, evaluating player development, and exploring roster changes to improve their championship chances. With Rooney II’s confidence in Tomlin and the team’s commitment to building on their winning culture, the Steelers are poised to make a push for postseason success.
