(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly requested an interview with a coach who is both a Super Bowl Champion and a Pittsburgh native. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, a source told him yesterday that the Steelers are expected to speak with Mike McCarthy, the former head coach of both the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. McCarthy, a native of Greenfield, was the head coach for the Packers when Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers played for the Packers when they won Super Bowl 45 against the Steelers on February 6th, 2011 in Arlington, Texas. McCarthy was the head coach of the Packers from 2006-2018, and then after a hiatus in 2019, he was hired by the Cowboys and coached them from 2020-2024. The sixty-two-year-old McCarthy worked with Steelers general manager Omar Khan in New Orleans in 2000 but he did not coach in the NFL this season. McCarthy is the most notable candidate of the head coaching search for the Steelers, but he becomes the ninth candidate that the team has requested an interview with. The search for a new head coach for the Steelers continues since Mike Tomlin stepped down as their head coach on Tuesday.
