"McCarthy's opening press conference will begin today, but as the celebration and work kick off there, the Cowboys are likely going to be cringing until his new staff with the Steelers is assembled and complete. Why? Well, let's not forget, McCarthy was in the building for Dallas just over a year ago, and some of his staff lingered on Brian Schottenheimer's. Now, those guys may have a chance to leave Dallas to reconnect with their original boss in Pittsburgh."
"Now, if you're a more casual Dallas fan, or a member of the Steele Curtain, you may be saying, "Who in the world is Lunda Wells?" The answer is pretty favorable for Pittsburgh, and painful for the Cowboys if he does leave. Wells, 42, is incredibly well respected around the league and has done a great job with Dallas since he joined the organization in 2020. He also interviewed with the Commanders for their offensive coordinator position earlier this month."
Mike McCarthy has been named head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, returning to his hometown. The hiring drew displeasure from some Steelers fans but represents a major moment for McCarthy. His opening press conference begins today as team preparations begin. The Dallas Cowboys may lose coaches from Brian Schottenheimer's staff because several assistants previously worked under McCarthy. Lunda Wells, Dallas tight ends coach and longstanding McCarthy assistant, will interview with Pittsburgh for the offensive coordinator role. Wells joined Dallas in 2020, is highly respected leaguewide, previously interviewed with the Commanders, and would represent a significant promotion if he departs Dallas for Pittsburgh.
