Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Longtime Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has resigned, owner Art Rooney II announced Tuesday.
Tomlin posted a 193-114-2 record over 19 seasons with the Steelers, including 10-7 campaigns each of the last three years. He never had a losing season. The Steelers, who won a Super Bowl in Tomlin's second season, went to the playoffs 13 times during his tenure.
"During our meeting today, coach Tomlin informed me that he has decided to step down as our head coach," Rooney said in a statement. "Obviously, I am extremely grateful to Mike for all the hard work, dedication and success we have shared over the last 19 years."
The Steelers, who went to the Super Bowl twice in Tomlin's first four seasons, were 0-7 in the coach's final seven postseason appearances.
