Well-deserved extension for Tomlin

As usual, the Pittsburgh Steelers got it right again.

Reports this afternoon have Mike Tomlin agreeing to a contract extension that will take him through the 2016 season. Well done as players are set to report to Latrobe for training camp on Wednesday.

Tomlin only had one year left on his current deal, and with this being perhaps the busiest offseason in recent Steelers history, this was one move they had to make.

The 40-year old Steelers boss deserves it. He's 55-25 in the regular season, including a record of 12-4 three times (2008, 2010, and 2011). Under Tomlin, Pittsburgh has made the playoffs in four of his five seasons, with two trips to the Super Bowl.
