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.

P3R, the organization behind the Pittsburgh Marathon, has opened registration for one of this fall’s largest local races.

Runners can now sign up for the 10 Miler and 10K, scheduled for Nov. 8. P3R expects a record-breaking 6,000 participants at this year’s events, according to spokeswoman Kelsey Emch. The events drew more than 5,500 participants last year.

The 10 Miler course begins at Station Square and travels through the North Shore, the Strip District and Downtown, while the 10K begins on the North Shore near PNC Park and follows the 10 Miler route the rest of the way.

Both races finish on Liberty Avenue Downtown – a common ending point for P3R events.

P3R CEO Troy Schooley said in a release that the 10 Miler and 10K have become a “signature fall tradition” for Pittsburghers of all abilities.

“Whether participants are chasing a personal best, enjoying the event with friends or taking part in the walking division, this race delivers an unforgettable experience while showcasing our city at its very best,” he said.

The 10 Miler costs around $66 per person with processing fees, and the 10K costs around $49. Discounts are available through June 9.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts

Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.

The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.

Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.

Why do bees swarm?

Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.

Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.

With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
