  "account": "Mike Tomlin, the former head coach of the Steelers, has revealed he isn't eager to return to coaching just yet. After stepping down after 19 seasons, reports suggested he planned a break from coaching. Currently, Tomlin works as an analyst for NBC's NFL coverage. During the network's Hall of Fame Game broadcast, he stated, \"I haven’t thought a whole lot about it yet, because I don’t feel like I’m missing anything yet.\" Tomlin admitted his desire to return might change as the season progresses, as head coaching involves much before the regular season. Despite his current contentment, his name will likely remain in rumors for any head coaching opportunities that arise. At 54, Tomlin is older than most current NFL head coaches, but still young enough to attract team interest should he decide to return.",
