Mike Tomlin will be on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" broadcasts this season. It is the first time this century that Tomlin won't spend football season with an NFL team. Tomlin chose to walk away from the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of last season after 19 years as the team's head coach.
Tomlin appears to be having fun so far, but the real question is whether or not he'll stick with media long term or if he's just taking a break before taking another job. There was no shortage of suitors when he stepped down in Pittsburgh and at 54-years old with a Super Bowl and zero losing seasons on his resume, he remains an attractive candidate for any vacancy.
Cris Collinsworth, Tomlin's new co-worker at NBC, recently asked him if there was a chance he would return to coaching at some point. Tomlin sounded like someone who still wanted to coach, but he also isn't in a hurry.

"It's certainly not a 32 team league for me," said Tomlin. "But I've also learned to never say never. I love to coach. I love all the challenges of the profession. I love the being part of growth and development of young people individually. I love the measurement of the seven day cycle, but also have enjoyed the last six months. Life on this other side that I had no idea about."
