Mike Tomlin says that his desire as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers has "intensified" and that he expects to receive a contract extension this offseason.

"I expect to be back, and I would imagine that those contract things are going to run their course," Tomlin said. "Art [Rooney II] and I have a really good, transparent relationship. We communicate continually often. I don't imagine it's going to be an issue, and I imagine it's going to get done in a timely manner at the appropriate time, but my mindset is to coach his football team."

Rooney later told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the team does "plan to extend Mike's contract."
