Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti discovered during his press conference on Tuesday that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had resigned.
Bisciotti was stunned when he heard the news, saying, “Holy s—” while in the media presence.
The owner was then asked if Tomlin would be considered as a head coaching candidate for the Ravens, replacing John Harbaugh after nineteen seasons on the other side of a bitter rivalry.
“Holy…, Mike, wouldn’t that be great? Only if John takes the Pittsburgh job,” Bisciotti joked.

“Wow, wouldn’t that be interesting? I don’t know,” Bisciotti said. “That thing last week (Bisciotti imitating Tomlin pounding his chest after beating the Ravens in Week 18) may have disqualified him from my opening after our kicker missed a kick to advance them. Good for Mike. Yeah, I don’t know. Talk to (General Manager Eric DeCosta) I love Mike. I mean, I’ve admired Mike for 18 years, and that’s really shocking that he did it that way. That’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 seasons with the Ravens.
