SL: Steelers Announce New Head Coach

January 24, 2026 | Edition #274

👋 Hey, Gridiron Gang!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering a defining transition moment, one that will reshape the franchise for the first time in nearly two decades. With Mike Tomlin officially stepping away after an unprecedented 19-season run, the organization moved into a full-scale search process for someone who can lead. Multiple established names surfaced, interviews conducted, but the front office has worked swiftly behind the scenes as Pittsburgh prepares to turn the page on one of the most stable coaching eras in NFL history.

Pittsburgh prepares to turn the page on one of the most stable coaching eras in NFL history with a new name.


 

The Steelers’ newest head coach is a Pittsburgh native who won Super Bowl XLV against the Tomlin-led Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011. He has spent 13 seasons leading Green Bay, five years as Dallas’ head coach, and built his résumé as an offensive coach with the 49ers and Saints before returning home to lead the Steelers.

Is Mike McCarthy the right hire given the Steelers' current roster and direction?
