Mike McCarthy will interview Wednesday for the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching vacancy. While Pittsburgh remains interested in multiple options, McCarthy is “considered a strong candidate,” Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday.
The 62-year-old McCarthy took a year off this season, fired as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys after the 2024 season. McCarthy spent five seasons in Dallas, leading the team to a 49-35 record, three playoff appearances and a pair of NFC East titles.
Before Dallas, McCarthy’s first head coaching job came with the Green Bay Packers. McCarthy was highly successful in Green Bay, going 125-77-2 and earning a playoff spot in nine of his 13 seasons at the helm. McCarthy led the Packers to a Super Bowl XLV win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
