Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti was flabbergasted to find out Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers head coach during a Tuesday press conference.

“Holy sh*t!” Bisciotti exclaimed when a reporter asked if Tomlin would be a candidate in Baltimore. “Would that be awesome? Only if John takes the Pittsburgh job. Wow, wouldn’t that be interesting?”

Two rival coaches switching positions? That wild thought is technically a possibility now that Tomlin stepped down after 19 seasons with the Steelers Tuesday. John Harbaugh parted ways with the Ravens a week ago after 18 seasons, seemingly at the hands of Tomlin, whose team got the best of Baltimore in their storied rivalry after the Ravens’ kicker missed the game-winning field goal.

“I don’t know, that thing last week, maybe disqualified him from my opening,” Bisciotti said jokingly in regards to the Ravens losing to the Steelers.

The two coaches came into the season as the NFL’s most tenured leaders. Now they are both out of the league.

“After much thought and reflection, I have decided to step down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Tomlin said in a statement. “This organization has been a huge part of my life for many years, and it has been an absolute honor to lead this team. I am deeply grateful to Art Rooney II and the late Ambassador Rooney for their trust and support. I am also thankful to the players who gave everything they had every day, and to the coaches and staff whose commitment and dedication made this journey so meaningful. I want to also thank Steeler Nation. Your passion, loyalty, and high expectations represent what makes this franchise truly special.”

Pittsburgh will hire only its fourth head coach since 1969. Before Tomlin was hired in 2007, Bill Cowher led the Steelers from 1992 to 2006, taking over for Chuck Noll.

Tomlin led the Steelers to a Super Bowl in 2009, marking the sixth championship for the franchise.

“During our meeting today, Coach Tomlin informed me that he has decided to step down as our Head Coach,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement. “Obviously, I am extremely grateful to Mike for all the hard work, dedication and success we have shared over the last 19 years. It is hard for me to put into words the level of respect and appreciation I have for Coach Tomlin. He guided the franchise to our sixth Super Bowl championship and made the playoffs 13 times during his tenure, including winning the AFC North eight times in his career.”

Tomlin’s next moves are unclear. NFL insider Josina Anderson reported Tomlin has indicated wanting to coach in warmer environments than the Steel City. The Super Bowl-winning coach would also be welcome on television as an analyst if he chooses that route.

Whatever direction Tomlin goes, the 53-year-old will be sought after. Tomlin leaves Pittsburgh as a winner, never recording a losing season.

“His track record of never having a losing season in 19 years will likely never be duplicated,” Rooney II said.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting Democratic Rep. Adam Gray of California in a new ad campaign.

The NRCC released its first ad targeting Gray on Tuesday. The ad targets Gray’s record on immigration.

“Adam Gray voted to give criminal illegal aliens driver’s licenses. He voted against funding to deport dangerous criminals. Adam Gray is dangerously radical on immigration,” the ad states.

Gray currently represents California’s 13th congressional district, a seat identified last year as one of the most vulnerable of the upcoming midterm elections. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s efforts to redistrict ahead of midterms may have given Gray some room to breathe, however.

Immigration has been a top issue for Republicans since President Donald Trump returned to office in January. Immigration remains one of Trump’s most popular issues, though Americans’ approval of Trump’s handling of immigration has slipped since he effectively ended massive amounts of illegal immigration that poured into the country under the Biden administration.

That ad hits Gray over a couple of votes on his record regarding immigration, one of them from over a decade ago. In 2013, while Gray was serving in the California assembly, he voted in favor of a bill that would allow illegal aliens to receive a California driver’s license.

Last year, Gray voted against Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which, in part, provided funding for finishing the border wall along the United States’ southern border. It also provided a surge of funding for hiring thousands of federal immigration agents.

The One Big Beautiful Bill included a slate of other Trump priorities, as well. The bill made permanent the 2017 tax cuts from Trump’s first term in office, secured $12.5 billion for the national air traffic control system, and funded development of the Golden Dome missile defense system.

Gray is in his first term as a U.S. congressman, having flipped California’s 13th district from Republican control in 2024. Gray beat then-incumbent Republican Rep. John Duarte by less than 200 votes.

Gray’s strongest opponent this cycle is Kevin Lincoln, the Republican former mayor of Stockton, a city added to California 13 under the new congressional map pushed for by Newsom.

“From Assemblyman to Congressman, Adam Gray’s out of touch, radical immigration votes put criminal illegal immigrants first and the safety of California families dead last. Californians deserve a Congressman who will put their safety first,” NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez told The Daily Wire in a statement.
