This would be a major change.

The season for the Pittsburgh Steelers was officially over despite their regular season finale victory at home over the visiting Cleveland Browns; it's the first time in three years that they missed the postseason. That's the bad news. However, the good news for longtime head coach Mike Tomlin is that he can once again hang his hat on the fact that he led his team to a winning season.
But will he be back? According to team president Art Rooney II, there are no guarantees.
“I don’t like to speculate on Coach’s contract,” he said. “We’ll see.”
He continued:
“The No. 1 thing I always want to see in the team — and it’s up to the coach to make this happen — is get better as the season goes on,” Rooney said. “You should be your best team at the end of the season. I thought we did that.”
“Bringing a rookie quarterback along, there is no one way to do it right,” Rooney said. “I think we wound up with a rookie quarterback who got better as the season went on. I think we’re excited about the future because of that. Those things are encouraging by the way Mike handled them.”
Steelers fans, should a major change be made?
