"Mike McCarthy is back in the NFL. It was reported on Saturday afternoon that the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to hire McCarthy to succeed Mike Tomlin. Incidentally McCarthy's Green Bay Packers beat Tomlin's Steelers in Super Bowl LXV which took place in Cowboys Stadium, a building he would one day call home. One that is now officially a thing of the past."
"McCarthy's career has had a lot of weird tie-ins along those lines and another could be at play in the near future with Aaron Rodgers, his former quarterback in Green Bay, contemplating what he will do after just finishing a season playing in Pittsburgh. What's more is that Mike will have now arguably served as head coach for the three most storied franchise in the NFL in the Packers, Cowboys, and Steelers. What a resumé!"
"The Cowboys visit the Packers in 2026 which will feature a matchup against an old friend in Micah Parsons; however, they do not play the Steelers. They came close to doing so as they drew the loser of the NFL's regular season finale, the game where Pittsburgh beat the Baltimore Ravens. It will be very interesting to say the least to see what McCarthy looks like in his first stop away from the Cowboys."
Mike McCarthy has returned to the NFL as the Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach, succeeding Mike Tomlin. McCarthy previously defeated Tomlin's Steelers in Super Bowl LXV while coaching the Green Bay Packers at Cowboys Stadium, a venue he would later coach in. Aaron Rodgers faces decisions about his future after a season in Pittsburgh that could intersect with McCarthy's return. McCarthy will have led three storied franchises—the Packers, Cowboys, and Steelers—on his résumé. The Cowboys and Packers will meet in 2026, featuring Micah Parsons, while the Cowboys will not face the Steelers that season. Former Cowboys head coaches rarely take head coaching jobs with other teams.
