Steelers not planning on any move involving Mike Tomlin, report says

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are not planning on any move involving head coach Mike Tomlin, according to a report.

According to KDKA-TV Steelers Insider Gerry Dulac, who cited team sources, says the Steelers are “not planning to make any move” involving Tomlin, despite widespread public outcry in the wake of the team’s postseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

The Steelers trailed early on Saturday night in Baltimore, losing the Wild Card matchup 28-14.

Pittsburgh lost its last four regular season games after starting the season 10-3 and have now lost six straight playoff games.

In those six playoff losses, the team has been collectively outscored 66-0 in the first quarter of those defeats at the hands of New England, Jacksonville, Cleveland, Kansas City, Buffalo, and Baltimore.

Tomlin just completed his 18th season with the Steelers, the longest tenure among NFL coaches.

This past offseason, Tomlin signed a three-year contract extension that runs through the end of the 2027 season.

What will the Steelers roster look like in 2025?

As the Steelers now head into the offseason, a number of questions remain when it comes to their roster composition for the 2025 season, primarily at the quarterback position.

All three quarterbacks on the team’s roster are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Whether the team brings back any combination of Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen is unclear.

Wilson made a low amount of $1.2 million with the Steelers this year while the Denver Broncos paid a majority of his salary. Several reports suggest Wilson could command a new three-year deal worth as much as $100 million following his season in Pittsburgh.

Outside of the quarterbacks room, Mike Williams, James Daniels, Donte Jackson, Nate Herbig, Elandon Roberts, Najee Harris, Damontae Kazee, Van Jefferson, and Cam Sutton, among others, are all slated to become unrestricted free agents going into the offseason.

The Steelers are set to pick 21st in the opening round of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay in April.

Pittsburgh Regional Transit retiring Fifth Avenue bus lane in Oakland

Pittsburgh Regional Transit retiring Fifth Avenue bus lane in Oakland

Some big changes are coming to Oakland for Pittsburgh Regional Transit riders, all of which include closures, construction, and the future of safety.

Riders who typically catch the bus on Fifth Avenue in Oakland should start preparing because starting Sunday, Pittsburgh Regional Transit says the bus lane on Fifth Avenue will be permanently retired.

It’s a part of their University Line project, designed to create a more reliable connection between Downtown, Uptown, and Oakland.

But without the Fifth Avenue bus lane, traffic is shifting.

“All of our bus operational movements are going to be moving over here to Forbes Avenue,” said Amy Silbermann, chief development officer with Pittsburgh Regional Transit.

For riders, this means big changes.

Seventeen outbound bus stops along Fifth Avenue will be eliminated, 9 bus routes will be rerouted, and all outbound buses will travel on Forbes with general traffic.

“Forbes Avenue is going to be more congested. We will have more buses than today,” Silbermann noted.

While the closure is permanent, the construction and renovation will be temporary, and part of a much bigger plan.

“Ultimately, that lane is going to turn into a two-way protected bicycle facility. All buses will remain on Forbes Avenue outbound for as long as we know,” Silbermann said.

This change will now leave Forbes as the main bus corridor.

“Ultimately, one lane on Forbes Avenue is going to become a bus-only lane. However, that’s not happening until later next year.”

In the meantime, PRT says it’s working with the city and Port Authority police to keep traffic moving. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2027.

“This is not about making buses rapid. This is about making buses move more reliably and continuously throughout the corridor,” Silbermann said. “Today, they get very bunched up because of the conditions. Once they get bunched up, they end up with big gaps in service, where you may wait a really long time and then get on a really overcrowded bus.”

PRT says they will have staff at select bus stops to help navigate through this transition.
