WATCH: Mike Tomlin addresses reports linking him to USC, LSU jobs

Mike Tomlin has been one of the many high-profile names linked to the USC football head coaching vacancy since Clay Helton was fired earlier this season.

In his Tuesday press conference, the current Pittsburgh Steelers head coach addressed the rumors and speculation that he could possibly leave his NFL career to take the USC job.

“I don’t have time for that speculation,” Tomlin said emphatically. That’s a joke to me. I’ve got of one of the best jobs in all of professional sports. Why would I have any interest in coaching college football?”

It’s important to note Mike Tomlin has no background or experience in coaching at the collegiate ranks and he’s widely regarded one of the top NFL coaches year after year.

The Steelers front man closed out his response with another statement making it abundantly clear he’s not leaving his current post in Pittsburgh.

“Never say never, but never,” Tomlin added. “There’s not a booster with a big enough blank check.”

For now, it appears as if Mike Tomlin has absolutely no interest in the USC Trojans vacancy.
