Steelers Complete Interview With Mike McCarthy For HC Job

January 21, 2026 by NFL Trade Rumors

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Wednesday that they’ve completed their interview with Mike McCarthy for their head-coaching vacancy.

Here’s the list of candidates for the Steelers job so far:

  • Vikings DC Brian Flores (Interviewed)
  • Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver (Expected)
  • Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase (Interviewed)
  • Rams DC Chris Shula (Interviewed)
  • Chargers DC Jesse Minter (Interviewed)
  • Panthers DC Ejiro Evero (Interviewed)
  • Former Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy (Interviewed)

McCarthy was in the mix for the Giants and Titans’ head-coaching jobs this offseason. 

McCarthy, 62, began his NFL coaching career with the Chiefs back in 1993 as an offensive quality control coordinator. He bounced around with the Packers, Saints and 49ers before the Packers hired him as their head coach in 2006.

The Packers made the decision to move on from McCarthy following a disappointing loss to the Cardinals in Week 13 of 2018. He was out of football in 2019 before being hired by the Cowboys in 2020.

McCarthy and the Cowboys were unable to reach an agreement on an extension, which led to the two parties parting ways. 

During his 13-year tenure in Green Bay, McCarthy led the Packers to a record of 125-77-2 (61.8 percent), which includes nine playoff appearances and a Super Bowl title in 2010.

McCarthy posted a record of 49-35 (58.3 percent) in five years with the Cowboys, with three playoff appearances and a 1-3 record in the postseason.
