"This is fascinating in a lot of ways. Beyond the fact that we will get to see what a former Dallas Cowboys head coach looks like elsewhere ( a rarity in franchise history) which will be interesting to watch, McCarthy now adds the Steelers to the list of teams he has run that not only includes the Cowboys, but the Green Bay Packers. The man has been at the helm of arguably the three most iconic teams in NFL history!"
"McCarthy spent five total seasons leading the Cowboys, 2020 through 2024 to be exact. He landed his new job after a year on the sidelines like when he joined the Cowboys, and while we can debate how his reign went while at The Star, it is impossible to ignore that he accomplished things the franchise had not seen in a long time."
"All told three of his coordinators went on to get head coaching jobs, even though they weren't exactly young coaches he groomed or necessarily found himself. Dan Quinn, Washington Commanders Kellen Moore, New Orleans Saints Brian Schottenheimer, Dallas Cowboys Dan Quinn obviously had head coaching experience before joining the Cowboys (directly before) and Kellen Moore was on staff before McCarthy arrived. He was retained before ultimately being dismissed after the 2022 season when McCarthy took over offensive play-calling himself."
Mike McCarthy was named head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. He previously served as head coach of the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. McCarthy spent five seasons leading the Cowboys from 2020 through 2024. He returned to coaching after a year on the sidelines, mirroring his path to the Cowboys. McCarthy led the Cowboys to three consecutive playoff appearances and the franchise's first road playoff win since the 1992 NFC Championship Game. Three former Cowboys coordinators became head coaches: Dan Quinn (Washington Commanders), Kellen Moore (New Orleans Saints), and Brian Schottenheimer (Dallas Cowboys). Kellen Moore was retained initially but was dismissed after 2022 when McCarthy assumed offensive play-calling.
