The Pittsburgh Steelers were expected to go out and hire a young coach after they learned that Mike Tomlin had retired. However, they shocked and angered many people when they turned around and brought in 62-year-old Mike McCarthy to lead the team for the next five years or so.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said the team is preparing for either scenario regarding Aaron Rodgers, and they are still not sure if he will come back just yet. Rodgers and McCarthy have remained in contact with one another since McCarthy was hired by the Steelers,

McCarthy went 125-77 with the Green Bay Packers with Rodgers as his primary quarterback and then had five-year stint coaching the Dallas Cowboys that ended in 2024. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said this week that Rodgers has a great deal of respect for McCarthy and their relationship could result in a reunion in Pittsburgh.

Mike McCarthy has said he’s impressed with the composition of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster. Next week, for the first time as the team’s coach, McCarthy will get a first-hand look at players who could upgrade that roster.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team that is going to be focused on a lot by the national media throughout the 2026 offseason. The main reason for this is the coaching change as Mike McCarthy was hired earlier in the offseason;

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni has joined the Las Vegas Raiders as their wide receivers coach under new head coach Klint Kubiak. Azzanni was not retained by Mike McCarthy, who instead hired former Buffalo Bills wide receivers coach Adam Henry.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the many teams in the NFL without a franchise quarterback. If an organization does not have one, it makes it very hard for a team to compete in meaningful football games down the stretch.
