- Steelers finalize 2026 coaching staff
Pittsburgh Steelers new head coach Mike McCarthy wasted little time in assembling his coaching staff after being hired by the team. McCarthy comes in with a Super Bowl resume and replaces Mike Tomlin, who voluntarily stepped down after 19 seasons. On Thursday, the team announced that the Steelers coaching staff is now finalized.
The Steelers staff has 26 members, including McCarthy. This is two more coaches than the 24 the Steelers had on staff last season. One of the criticisms of Tomlin was his small coaching staff and the thought that this was a tool for Tomlin to be able to better control his staff and the decisions.
Next up for McCarthy and his staff is to work on the roster and sort out who stays and who goes among the players. Free agency is just a month away and then the 2026 NFL draft. Team President Art Rooney II has said this is not a rebuild so we don't know what to expect in terms of roster turnover ahead of free agency and the 2026 NFL draft.
