Story byAndrew Vasquez, Steelers WireThu, January 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM UTC·1 min readThe Pittsburgh Steelers are moving quickly in their race to find Mike Tomlin's successor, as the team has completed the second in-person interview with a candidate some consider a favorite for the head coaching vacancy. On Wednesday, the Steelers announced their in-person interview with former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy was completed. McCarthy, a former Super Bowl champion and the 2011 Greasy Neale Award winner, is one of the few offensive-minded coaches the Steelers have shown interest in during this process, along with San Francisco 49ers OC Klay Kubiak and Los Angeles Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.
