Hvem tabte the steelers til i super bowl?
Green Bay Packers
Den 7. januar 2007 fratrådte Cowher som træner for Steelers med henvisning til et behov for at tilbringe mere tid sammen med sin familie. Han brugte ikke udtrykket "trække sig tilbage" og lod dermed en mulig tilbagevenden til NFL som træner for et andet hold stå åben. Der blev nedsat en tremandskomité bestående af Art Rooney II, Dan Rooney og Kevin Colbert, som skulle gennemføre interviews til den ledige stilling som cheftræner. Blandt de interviewede kandidater var: offensiv koordinator Ken Whisenhunt, offensiv linjetræner Russ Grimm, den tidligere offensiv koordinator Chan Gailey, Minnesota Vikings' defensiv koordinator Mike Tomlin og Chicago Bears' defensiv koordinator Ron Rivera. Den 22. januar 2007 blev Mike Tomlin annonceret som Cowhers efterfølger som cheftræner. Tomlin er den første afroamerikaner, der er blevet udnævnt til cheftræner for Pittsburgh Steelers i deres 75-årige historie. Tomlin blev den tredje Steelers-cheftræner i træk, der gik til Super Bowl, hvilket er det samme som Dallas Cowboys (Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson og Barry Switzer). Han blev udnævnt til årets træner af Motorola 2008. Den 1. februar 2009 førte Tomlin Steelers til deres anden Super Bowl i dette årti og vandt 27-23 over Arizona Cardinals. Som 36-årig var han den yngste cheftræner nogensinde til at vinde Super Bowl, og han er kun den anden afroamerikanske træner nogensinde til at vinde Super Bowl (Tony Dungy var den første). Sæsonen 2010 gjorde Tomlin til den eneste træner, der nåede Super Bowl to gange før han fyldte 40 år. Tomlin førte holdet til sin anden Super Bowl (Super Bowl XLV) den 6. februar 2011. Steelers blev dog besejret i deres ottende Super Bowl-deltagelse af Green Bay Packers med resultatet 31-25. Steelers registrerede deres 400. sejr i 2012 efter at have besejret Washington Redskins.

On January 7, 2007, Cowher resigned from coaching the Steelers, citing a need to spend more time with his family. He did not use the term "retire", leaving open a possible return to the NFL as coach of another team. A three-man committee consisting of Art Rooney II, Dan Rooney, and Kevin Colbert was set up to conduct interviews for the head coaching vacancy. The candidates interviewed included: offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, offensive line coach Russ Grimm, former offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin, and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. On January 22, 2007, Mike Tomlin was announced as Cowher's successor as head coach. Tomlin is the first African-American to be named head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in its 75-year history. Tomlin became the third consecutive Steelers Head Coach to go to the Super Bowl, equaling the Dallas Cowboys (Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer) in this achievement. He was named the Motorola 2008 Coach of the Year. On February 1, 2009, Tomlin led the Steelers to their second Super Bowl of this decade, and went on to win 27–23 against the Arizona Cardinals. At age 36, he was the youngest head coach to ever win the Super Bowl, and he is only the second African-American coach to ever win the Super Bowl (Tony Dungy was the first). The 2010 season made Tomlin the only coach to reach the Super Bowl twice before the age of 40. Tomlin led the team to his second Super Bowl (Super Bowl XLV) on Feb. 6, 2011. However, the Steelers were defeated in their eighth Super Bowl appearance by the Green Bay Packers by the score of 31–25. The Steelers recorded their 400th victory in 2012 after defeating the Washington Redskins.
