A new chapter awaits Mike Tomlin.

Mike Tomlin has reportedly decided on his next gig after resigning as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After Pittsburgh’s embarrassing playoff loss to the Houston Texans, Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers’ head coach. That ended his illustrious 19-year tenure with the organization, one that produced 193 wins, two AFC championships and a Super Bowl 43 triumph.

Tomlin would have been highly sought after by other NFL teams, but he opted to take a hiatus from coaching. The Steelers hired former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy to succeed Tomlin.

With his coaching career on sabbatical, Mike Tomlin is reportedly getting ready to begin a career in broadcasting.

According to Ryan Glasspiegel and Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, Tomlin has signed with top sports media agent Sandy Montag. The Super Bowl-winning coach will now begin negotiations with networks to begin a broadcasting career:

“Mike Tomlin is testing the TV market waters.

The former Steelers head coach has signed with longtime sports media agent Sandy Montag’s agency, sources told Front Office Sports.

Montag and former sportscaster-turned-agent Alex Flanagan will represent Tomlin in potential contract talks with networks and streamers, sources said. The Montag Group could not be reached for comment.

When Tomlin stepped away from the Pittsburgh job after 19 years and one Super Bowl championship earlier this year, the expectation was that he would ignite a bidding war amongst the NFL’s rights partners. While there are fewer former head coaches in broadcasting roles than there used to be, the 54-year-old is expected to have multiple suitors.

Montag, the founder of The Montag Group, now a division of The Team (formerly Wasserman), also represents Mike Tirico, Jim Nantz, Scott Van Pelt, James Brown, and Dick Vitale. He was famously the agent for the late John Madden.”

Now, we wait and see which network will emerge as the lucky winners of the Tomlin free agency sweepstakes.

Mike Tomlin Should Flourish In His New Role

Not all NFL coaches are friendly with the media. But even Bill Belichick had a successful short-lived media career before taking over as the North Carolina Tar Heels’ new football head coach.

Nobody knows football better than a long-tenured NFL coach. Tomlin also has a fun personality and was always respectful of the media. So, he should have no problem transitioning to a new role in front of the cameras.

The future Hall of Famer should be pursued by every NFL broadcast partner. CBS has had great success with Bill Cowher, and Fox enjoyed an excellent partnership with Jimmy Johnson before his retirement. Tomlin promises to be a special addition to whichever network lands him.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
