The Steelers are making progress in their search for a new head coach. They have scheduled face-to-face meetings with a couple of candidates. Brian Flores, who recently worked as a defensive assistant for the Vikings, is one of them. He has experience with the Steelers, having spent the 2022 season on Mike Tomlin's staff. Another candidate is Anthony Weaver, the defensive coordinator for the Dolphins. He is also expected to have an in-person interview with the Steelers. However, all interviews with currently employed NFL coaches must wait until after the divisional round of the playoffs.
The Steelers have been busy meeting with various candidates. They have already interviewed Mike McCarthy, who has experience as a head coach with the Cowboys and Packers. They have also met with several defensive coordinators, including Chris Shula and Nate Scheelhaase from the Rams, Jesse Minter from the Chargers, Jeff Hafley from the Packers, and Klay Kubiak from the 49ers. Shula and Scheelhaase are still in the running, but they won't be available for second interviews until after the NFC Championship Game. This means the Steelers will have to wait a bit longer to talk to them again. It's interesting to see how the Steelers are approaching their coaching search. They are looking at a mix of candidates with different experiences. Some have worked with the team before, while others bring fresh perspectives. It will be interesting to see who they choose in the end.
