The Pittsburgh Steelers will not hire one of the Los Angeles Rams’ up-and-coming assistants to be their next head coach. Not after tabbing Mike McCarthy for that role. The Steelers’ decision opens the door for the Cleveland Browns to make a run at them instead. Per SI’s Albert Breer, the Browns have scheduled a second […]

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That is certainly true of the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens rivalry, one that remains one of the NFL’s fiercest. Former Steelers offensive tackle Marvel Smith joined the Locker Room Show recently and was asked how much hate existed in the rivalry when he played. “There’s a […]

On the same day the Pittsburgh Steelers named Greenfield’s own Mike McCarthy as their fourth head coach in 57 years, their offensive coordinator found a new gig. In college.
Longtime NFL coach Arthur Smith is heading to Columbus to be the next offensive coordinator at Ohio State, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
It’s nothing short of a stunning move for the former Falcons head coach to go back to college. Smith interviewed with the LA Chargers for their offensive coordinator position, and the Titans looked into Smith for their openings.
The Chargers landed former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel...
Behind the Steel Curtain
The Pittsburgh Steelers have hired Mike McCarthy as their next head coach, breaking a longstanding tradition by brining in a coach that not only has previous NFL head coaching experience, but extensively so.
McCarthy has coached in 288 career games. The previous 16 Steelers head coaches had 174 combined games of NFL experience before they were hired in Pittsburgh.
That means that, when it comes to filling out his coaching staff, McCarthy will have an extensive Rolodex of former assistants that he can call up. (As a 62-year-old, McCarthy might have an actual Rolodex).
Just looking at potential offensive and...
Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).
No matter who signs where, there is always someone saying “Steelers missed out on…” in this year’s coaching carousel, but then again I’m sure whoever we sign (editor’s note: Mike McCarthy) will immediately have some internet rando calling for him to be fired. In my experience, hiring is always a crap shoot, but the Steelers last 3 darts hit a bullseye (Lombardi). All I really want is to raise #7 with the next guy.

Now-former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will be coaching next fall — just not in the professional ranks. He’ll be joining Ryan Day’s Ohio State Buckeyes as their new offensive coordinator after Brian Hartline took over as USF’s head coach in December.
“Sources: #Steelers OC Arthur Smith is expected to become the next offensive coordinator at Ohio State,” NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport wrote Saturday night on X. “Smith has received multiple requests for NFL HC and OC interviews this cycle. Smith has engineered multiple top 10 offenses in the NFL, and now he lands in college.”
Smith, 43,...
Arthur Smith is set to become the Ohio State Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Smith is departing the Pittsburgh Steelers on the same day Mike McCarthy agreed to a deal to become the franchise’s next head coach. Smith interviewed and failed to get multiple jobs across the NFL this month. Now, he […]

New Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy comes from a background of developing quarterbacks. That was a big reason why the Steelers hired the 62-year-old Greenfield native. They’re hoping he can develop the Steelers’ next franchise quarterback.
It’s uncertain who will be the next young up-and-coming quarterback in Pittsburgh, but he could already be on the roster.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, McCarthy is very intrigued by second-year quarterback Will Howard.
“They do have other options on the roster. Mason Rudolph is still under contract. Will Howard, a late-round draft pick last year of Ohio State that they...
Those who work in the NFL feel the same way Pittsburgh Steelers fans do about the Mike McCarthy hire. He’s not the guy who is going to provide much excitement to a franchise that could use some. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler got quick reaction around the league reacting to the news that Pittsburgh is signing McCarthy […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the least sexy head coach hire possible in Mike McCarthy. The obvious question is why? Quarterback development is at least part of the answer, and it was central to his pitch to the team during his in-person interview. “One of the elements Mike McCarthy provided the Titans and Steelers when he […]
