The Pittsburgh Steelers are making progress in their search for a new head coach. They have scheduled a meeting with Mike McCarthy for Wednesday. McCarthy has been out of the NFL since 2025, after his time with the Dallas Cowboys ended in 2024.
McCarthy also had a chat with the Tennessee Titans, but they seem to be moving towards Robert Saleh for their head coach spot. The Steelers have been busy talking to other candidates too. They've met with Ejiro Evero, Jeff Hafley, Klay Kubiak, Jesse Minter, Nate Scheelhaase, Chris Shula, and Anthony Weaver. Hafley is no longer in the picture after joining the Miami Dolphins. However, they are expected to interview Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores soon, and Weaver is set for a second interview with the team.
The Steelers are clearly doing their homework, talking to a lot of people to find the right fit. It's not just about experience; they want someone who can bring new ideas and energy to the team. The NFL is always changing, and the Steelers want to make sure they stay competitive.
Coaching changes can be a big deal for a team. A new coach can bring a fresh start, new strategies, and a different way of doing things. But it's not always easy to find the right person. The Steelers are taking their time, which shows they are serious about getting it right.
Football fans in Pittsburgh are probably watching closely. They want to see who will lead their team next. It's an exciting time, but also a bit uncertain. Whoever the Steelers choose will have big shoes to fill.
