"A former NFL defensive end who appeared in 33 games with the Rams, Ah You turned to coaching following the end of his playing career. Apart from a brief stint in the XFL, Ah You has only coached at the collegiate level. He started as a special teams quality control coach at his alma mater, Oklahoma, before heading to a defensive line coaching job at Vanderbilt."
"Swinton heads to Pittsburgh after a three-year stint in Las Vegas, where he weathered the turnover of three different head coaches. Swinton has twice served single-season tenures as a special teams coordinator and was named to the interim role in Vegas last year after Tom McMahon 's exit. He won't be asked to fill the role of coordinator in Pittsburgh, but his experience after having worked in nine different NFL systems could be valuable to the Steelers in 2026."
Mike McCarthy is continuing to build his Pittsburgh coaching staff with reported hires of C.J. Ah You as outside linebackers coach and Derius Swinton II as senior special teams assistant. Ah You is a former NFL defensive end who coached primarily at the collegiate level, progressing from Oklahoma special teams quality control to defensive line roles at Vanderbilt, QC analyst at USC and Texas Tech, where the Red Raiders ranked sixth nationally in sacks in 2025. Swinton brings nine NFL-system experiences and recent Las Vegas special teams roles, including an interim coordinator stint. Additional NFL coaching moves include Ryan Slowik expected to join the Jets as safeties coach.
