Former Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin Signs With The Montag Group for Broadcast and Network Representation
Mike Tomlin has signed with The Montag Group -- a division of The Team (formerly Wasserman) -- for broadcast and television representation. Agent Alex Flanagan, a former NBC Sports and NFL Network anchor, led the signing and will manage day-to-day representation, with Sandy Montag also on the account. Montag's existing roster includes Mike Tirico, Jim Nantz, Scott Van Pelt, James Brown, and Dick Vitale. Tomlin finished his Steelers tenure at 193-114-2 with no losing seasons in 19 years, and open seats at CBS's NFL Today and potentially NBC make him among the most in-demand coaching names entering broadcast.
THE BREAKDOWN
Tomlin signing through a structured agency process means any network that wants him will face competition and negotiate against set terms, not in informal recruitment conversations. Alex Flanagan's dual background as a former anchor and now agent is a strategic choice: she understands production demands, contract riders, and rights partner schedules in ways a traditional sports agent often does not. Sandy Montag's existing leverage with every major rights holder means Tomlin enters negotiations from a position of strength rather than as a new face. For competing broadcast agents, Tomlin is the last elite coaching name available at this level for the foreseeable future -- this signing closes a multi-year, eight-figure opportunity for anyone not already in the room.
