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.
