The next head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers will be an offensive-minded one. But it’s still not someone the fan base is excited about.

The Steelers’ hire of Mike McCarthy as head coach has met a lukewarm reception, but there is one important thing to remember. Pittsburgh wasn’t looking for a reset, and this hire is a way to avoid that. Steelers owner Art Rooney II made it very clear they were prepared to move forward with Mike Tomlin. […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers could team up with one of their long-time AFC North rivals this offseason.
The Pittsburgh Steelers could have a new starting quarterback for the 2026 season, and while many believe that player could come via the 2026 NFL Draft, it could also come in the form of a former division rival.
Former long-time Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco recently opened up about the possibility of teaming up with the Steelers following stops with the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals in 2025.
“I think it would be strange. I do think having a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey on would...

FRISCO, Texas – BYU WR Chase Roberts is one of the most accomplished wide receivers at the East-West Shrine Bowl. While he’s one of the older prospects in attendance at Frisco, he might also be the most polished. Roberts has gone over the 800-yard threshold during each of the last two years and that hasn’t […]

Since Ben Roethlisberger 20 years ago, no younger quarterback has started the Super Bowl…until Drake Maye with the Patriots. With New England claiming the AFC title, the second-year quarterback is the first who has a chance to break Roethlisberger’s record.

Not everyone is against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ hiring of head coach Mike McCarthy.
The Pittsburgh Steelers decision to hire Mike McCarthy has not been well received by the fanbase, but not everyone thinks it is such a bad hire.
In fact, former NFL linebacker and FS1 analyst Emmanuel Acho thinks the Steelers now have the best head coach in the AFC North.
“To me, this is an adequate replacement. A coach that can come in, win 11 games, win 12 games, be competitive. The Browns are still going to be laughable. The Bengals are tethered to Joe Burrow staying healthy,...
The Pittsburgh Steelers not only made their head coaching hire in Mike McCarthy, they made it fast. Mike Tomlin stepped down on Jan. 13. By January 24, a verbal agreement with McCarthy was reached.

FRISCO, Texas — In a blowout win over James Madison in the first round of the College Football Playoffs, Oregon Ducks wide receiver Malik Benson had a monster game, hauling in two long touchdowns.

New Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy may already have an indirect connection to a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft class, one that could come into play as early as this April.
During McCarthy’s tenure in Dallas from 2020-22, Doug Nussmeier served as the Cowboys’ quarterbacks coach. Nussmeier, of course, is the father of LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, a draft-eligible prospect whose stock remains one of the more intriguing storylines in this class. While that connection doesn’t guarantee anything, it does suggest a level of familiarity, both philosophically and schematically, that could matter if Pittsburgh is evaluating Nussmeier seriously....
Mike McCarthy might not be the most interesting hire, but does he give the Steelers the best head coach in the AFC North? Pittsburgh obviously believes so, and so does Emmanuel Acho of the Speakeasy podcast. The majority of the division lost or fired its head coach, after all, so there is a lot of […]
