Steelers to hire Mike McCarthy as head coach

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to hire Mike McCarthy as their new head coach following Mike Tomlin’s departure after 19 seasons. McCarthy took a year off after being released by the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent five seasons, and previously enjoyed a successful tenure with the Green Bay Packers, winning a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers. This move could increase the likelihood of Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh for another season as he enters free agency. Rodgers, who recently expressed reluctance to make quick decisions about his future, may be more inclined to play under McCarthy again.
