Michael Pettaway Tomlin, known simply as Mike Tomlin, is an American football coach.
He is known for being the head coach of the National Football League team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He joined the team in 2007 and since then has led it to over ten playoff runs and seven division titles.
Alongside these achievements, he has also helped the team win three AFC Championship Games, make two Super Bowl appearances, and even a title in Super Bowl XLIII.
By winning the Super Bowl at age 36, Tomlin became the youngest head coach to ever win the Super Bowl.
Sadly, that record has since been beaten by Sean McVay in Super Bowl LVI.
However, Tomlin has another record that hasn’t been taken away from him: he has never had a losing record in all of his 15 seasons as a head coach.
This is the longest streak ever in the entirety of National Football League history.

Stylist Kiya Winston And Mike Tomlin Have Been Married Since 1996
Though not a lot is known about their marriage, Mike Tomlin and Kiya Winston wed in 1996.
Their marriage came at the heels of Tomlin graduating from The College of William & Mary with a degree in Sociology in 1995.
The same year, he started a career as a Wide Receivers Coach for the VMI.
He worked his way up to a Graduate Assistant the next year for Memphis, a wide receivers coach for Arkansas State in 1997, and worked all the way up to the next decade to make it as the Head Coach for Pittsburgh Steelers.
He must have worked for six teams all total in order to make it as a head coach, and traveled all over the country.
His wife and children supported him all along the way and they are currently the picture perfect example of a strong family.
Mike Tomlin And Kiya Winston Have Three Children
Mike Tomlin and his wife, Kiya Winston have three children together named Michael Dean, Harley Quinn, and Mason.
Michael Dean was born in 2000, Mason was born in 2002, and their daughter Harley Quinn was born in 2006.
The family currently lives in Squirrel Hill, which is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
They are very Christian and regularly attend a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church.
Not much else is known about his family as he keeps a tight lip about his personal life.
However, Tomlin has a rich and vibrant early life.
Born the younger of two sons, Tomlin was born in Hampton, Virginia; his older sibling, Eddie, is three and a half years elder.
In the 1960s, their dad, Ed Tomlin, played football at Hampton Institute.
The Baltimore Colts selected him in the draft, and he proceeded to play for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League.
The older Tomlin passed away at the age of 63 in Ocala, Florida, in January 2012 after what seemed to be a heart attack.
Tomlin, however, had little contact with his biological father and was brought up by Julia and Leslie Copeland, his mother, and stepfather, who had wed when he was six years old.
Tomlin has not talked about his father for much of his life, though it seems for certain that football came to him from his father or at least a part of it.
It seems to be one of those nature versus nurture things, and it seems that in the case of Tomlin, nature won.
