McCarthy to Continue Tomlin-Style Involvement in Steelers Draft

Steelers GM Omar Khan says Mike McCarthy’s draft involvement will be very similar to Mike Tomlin’s, with McCarthy joining pro days and dinner meetings as planning begins. McCarthy has already engaged in pre-draft work and isn’t expected to back away from the process, though it remains to be seen if the team values the same traits. The Steelers emphasize “Steelers DNA” even as the exact physical and character criteria may evolve during the pro day circuit.

McCarthy’s hands-on plan to mold Pittsburgh’s next franchise QB

Mike McCarthy outlined a quarterback-focused plan for the Steelers, saying he’ll install and call plays and that quarterback fundamentals will drive the offense. He stressed meticulous five-step drops, precise footwork, ball carriage and a quick release, plus extensive film work and multiple throwing platforms for scrambles. He also advocates simple, adaptable progressions, run-read concepts, and freedom at the line, all built around developing Pittsburgh’s next franchise QB while balancing today’s shotgun-heavy, diverse defenses.

Steelers Tap Frank Cignetti Jr. for New Offensive Role Amid McCarthy Reunion

The Steelers are adding Frank Cignetti Jr. to their offensive staff, reuniting with Mike McCarthy after their Green Bay days. Cignetti, currently the offensive coordinator at IUP, has a long NFL résumé and college coaching background. With Tom Arth retained as quarterbacks coach, Cignetti would take a different role whose exact title isn’t decided and could be a senior offensive assistant or another new designation as Pittsburgh looks to spark its offense.

Steelers Hope Aaron Rodgers Returns as QB, If He Plays Again

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly expect Aaron Rodgers to be their starting quarterback next season if he decides to continue playing in the NFL. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly says the team believes Rodgers still wants to play, and new coach Mike McCarthy has indicated he’d welcome him back, though Rodgers has not announced retirement after last season. Rodgers, 42, had 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 16 games, and his decision in the coming weeks will largely determine whether he returns to the league and to Pittsburgh.

Steelers Eye Rodgers Return as McCarthy Rebuilds QB Room

With Mike McCarthy guiding the Steelers, Pittsburgh is mapping out its 2026 quarterback plan and is widely expected to bring Aaron Rodgers back if he’s still willing to play. Rodgers hasn’t signed yet, but beat writer Mark Kaboly says many Steelers expect him to return, which would make him the starter if healthy, while Will Howard could serve in a development role rather than Week 1 starter given his limited NFL backing.

Cowherd Sees Steelers' McCarthy Hire as a Smart, Safe Path to Contention

Colin Cowherd shifts from initial skepticism to cautious approval of the Steelers’ choice of Mike McCarthy, calling it a solid B+ and a safe route to immediate contention after Tomlin’s departure. With Harbaugh and Stefanski off the table, Pittsburgh opted for a veteran who can push for the playoffs, even as QB development and roster upgrades remain needed. McCarthy’s offensive track record, including Dallas’ performance with Cooper Rush in 2024, provides some optimism for a quicker contention window, though fans still crave more innovation and still have questions at quarterback.

Steelers Hire Homegrown Mike McCarthy, Recalling Pickett Draft Echoes

The Pittsburgh Steelers named Mike McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native, as their new head coach, a hiring that has sparked mixed reactions and brought back memories of the 2022 Kenny Pickett draft. Analysts note McCarthy’s NFL success and quarterback-development track record, but some worry the move echoes a hometown-pitch that previously delayed finding the team’s next franchise quarterback until it’s proven on the field.
