In a closed-door press conference with the Pittsburgh media, Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II continued to show his support of head coach Mike Tomlin. (Rooney does it every year like this, yet fans blasted him for making it hush-hush and not streaming it live like Tomlin’s weekly pressers.)

Art Rooney II knows the Pittsburgh Steelers have problems. The team's longtime president doesn't think his head coach is one of them. Rooney said Monday the club remains fully behind Mike Tomlin, who is now closing in on a decade since his most recent playoff victory following another quick postseason exit.

Rooney says the Steelers shut it down quickly when they received the call. "We weren’t interested in really pursuing it. And so it was a pretty short conversation‚" Rooney said to KDKA’s Bob Pompeani.
