PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin is sticking with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The club announced its longtime coach has signed a contract extension that runs through the 2024 season.

Tomlin is 145-78-1 in 14 years with the Steelers with one Super Bowl victory.

The deal means Tomlin will likely be part of the process whenever quarterback Ben Roethlisberger opts to retire.

The 39-year-old Roethlisberger is returning for the 2021 season but the team has no heir apparent in place.
