Steelers Now
The Pittsburgh Steelers are making sure their head coaching search is thorough. With six other openings around the league — including two in the AFC North — they have competition for some of their candidates.
The Cleveland Browns plan on talking to two of them again, this time up close.
“The #Browns are working on in-person, second interviews with #Chargers DC Jesse Minter and #Rams passing game coordinator Nathan Scheelhaase for their HC job, sources say,” NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport wrote Sunday on X. “They join Jim Schwartz, Todd Monken, Mike McDaniel, and Grant Udinski.”
The Steelers virtually interviewed Scheelhaase on Friday, then Minter on Saturday. Scheelhaase has also interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders for their head coaching openings. Along with the Atlanta Falcons, who landed on former Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on Saturday, Minter has spoken with the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Ravens and Raiders.
Scheelhaase, 35, has served as the Rams’ passing game coordinator under Sean McVay for the past two seasons. He was an assistant coach at Iowa State and Illinois before that. Minter, 42, followed Jim Harbaugh from Michigan to Los Angeles before last season. He was an assistant with the Ravens from 2017-20 before coordinating Harbaugh’s Wolverines defenses, including one that won a College Football Playoff national title.
The other coaches that Steelers president Art Rooney II and general manager Omar Khan have either interviewed or confirmed interest in are Chris Shula, Brian Flores, Anthony Weaver, Ejiro Evero, Jeff Hafley, Klay Kubiak and Mike McCarthy.
