"ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Pittsburgh is expected to interview Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells this week. Wells has been in his current position since 2020, the year McCarthy arrived as Dallas' head coach. The two worked together for five years on the Cowboys' staff. Wells began his NFL coaching career in 2012 with the Giants. The 47-year-old remained in New York for eight years before joining McCarthy in Dallas."
"Wells has a background as an offensive line coach, but his final two years with the Giants saw him coach the team's tight ends. He has continued doing so throughout his Cowboys tenure, including the 2025 campaign after head coach Brian Schottenheimer retained him last winter. Wells interviewed with the Commanders for their OC gig earlier this month before Washington ultimately promoted David Blough to the position."
Mike McCarthy now serves as the Steelers head coach and needs to fill the offensive coordinator position. Arthur Smith left Pittsburgh to become Ohio State's new OC, ending his two-year tenure and creating the vacancy. Pittsburgh is expected to interview Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells this week; Wells and McCarthy worked together for five years in Dallas.
