Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti found out during his press conference Tuesday that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had resigned.
Bisciotti was stunned to hear the news and said, “Holy shit,” during his media availability.
The owner was then asked if Tomlin would be considered as a Ravens head coaching candidate, replacing John Harbaugh after being on the opposite end of a bitter rivalry for 19 seasons.
“Holy shit, Mike, wouldn’t that be great? Only if John takes the job in Pittsburgh,” Bisciotti joked.

“Wow, wouldn’t that be interesting? I don’t know,” Bisciotti said. “That thing last week (Bisciotti imitated Tomlin beating his chest after beating the Ravens in Week 18), maybe disqualified him from my start after our kicker missed a kick to allow them to advance. Good for Mike. Yeah, I don’t know. Talk to (general manager Eric DeCosta). I love Mike. I mean, I’ve looked up to Mike for 18 years, and it’s really shocking that he did it that way. It’s kind of crazy.”
Two weeks ago, Tomlin and Harbaugh were the two longest-tenured coaches on their respective teams. Tomlin spent 19 seasons with the Steelers, while Harbaugh spent 18 with the Ravens.

Harbaugh, who was fired last week, immediately became the leading head coaching candidate in this year’s cycle and is reportedly the favorite to land the New York Giants job.
It’s unclear if Tomlin wants to coach next season or if he wants to take a season off. The 53-year-old is coveted by a litany of television networks that have shown interest in hiring him as an analyst, according to The Athletic.

The Ravens drastically underperformed this season, as they finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion, prompting Bisciotti to make a change. In 18 seasons under Harbaugh, the team went 180-113 and won six AFC North titles, appeared in four AFC championship games and won a Super Bowl under the 63-year-old.
Tomlin in 19 seasons was 193-114-2 and won the AFC North eight times, reached the Super Bowl twice and won once.
