"The Pittsburgh Steelers are planning to hire Mike McCarthy as their next head coach, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. McCarthy spent five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before he and the organization failed to reach a contract extension after the 2024 season, leading to the Cowboys' hiring of Brian Schottenheimer. McCarthy replaces Mike Tomlin, who walked away from the job last week after spending 19 seasons with the Steelers."
"McCarthy, who won a Super Bowl title with the Green Bay Packers in the 2010-11 season, brings that title experience to the Steelers, who last won a Lombardi Trophy to cap off the 2008 season. Ironically, McCarthy's quarterback in Green Bay was Aaron Rodgers, who spent this last season with the Steelers, though his future in Pittsburgh is unclear going forward."
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hiring Mike McCarthy as head coach. McCarthy spent five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and left after the 2024 season without a contract extension, which led the Cowboys to hire Brian Schottenheimer. He replaces Mike Tomlin, who departed after 19 seasons with the Steelers. McCarthy won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in the 2010-11 season and brings championship experience to a Steelers team that last won the Lombardi Trophy in 2008. Aaron Rodgers was McCarthy's quarterback in Green Bay and spent this past season with the Steelers, though his future there is uncertain.
