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.

Bills Hire Joe Brady as Head Coach, Installing the NFL’s Youngest Boss

The Buffalo Bills named Joe Brady their next head coach on a five-year deal, making him the NFL’s youngest head coach in 2026 at age 36. Brady, who has steered Buffalo’s high-powered offense since 2022 (OC since 2023), is credited with elevating Josh Allen to MVP-caliber play in 2024 and helping James Cook win the 2025 rushing title, with Bills’ metrics ranking among the league’s best in several EPA and efficiency categories. He already has strong ties to multiple Bills assistants, suggesting continuity on the staff as the team adapts to his offense.

The Baltimore Ravens have hired Jesse Minter, formerly the Los Angeles Chargers’ defensive coordinator, to be their next head coach — the fourth in franchise history. After in-person interviews and strong endorsements from owner Steve Bisciotti and GM Eric DeCosta, Minter brings a modern, versatile defensive approach and deep ties to the Harbaugh coaching tree. Ravens hope his leadership, paired with Lamar Jackson and the team’s weapons, can return Baltimore to championship contention.

Dolphins target Jeff Hafley to steer franchise amid front-office overhaul

The Miami Dolphins are reportedly nearing a deal to hire Jeff Hafley, the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator, as their next head coach, replacing fired Mike McDaniel and joining an organization undergoing major leadership changes including the departure of GM Chris Grier and the hire of Jon-Eric Sullivan; Hafley would take on a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game since 2000 and must address quarterback questions with Tua Tagovailoa under a long-term contract.

"Atlanta Falcons Name Raheem Morris New Head Coach Despite Bill Belichick Interviews"

The Atlanta Falcons have chosen Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their new head coach, despite interviewing Bill Belichick and other high-profile candidates. Morris, who previously served as interim head coach for the Falcons in 2020, brings a wealth of experience from his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington. His success with the Rams, including winning Super Bowl LVI, has garnered praise from Rams general manager Les Snead. This unexpected hiring comes as the Panthers also filled their head-coach opening with Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales. Morris is the fourth racial minority to become an NFL head coach during the 2024 hiring cycle, and the Rams will receive a third-round compensatory pick due to the Rooney Rule.
