The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached a verbal agreement with Mike McCarthy for him to take over as the team”s head coach. This decision comes in light of the recent departure of Mike Tomlin, marking only the third head coaching change for the franchise since 1969.
McCarthy, who hails from Pittsburgh, will step in following Tomlin”s resignation after a disappointing 19th season that culminated in a seventh consecutive playoff defeat. During his extensive coaching career, McCarthy compiled a record of 185 wins, 123 losses, and 2 ties over 18 seasons, including 13 years with the Green Bay Packers and 5 with the Dallas Cowboys.
Notably, McCarthy led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory against the Steelers at the conclusion of the 2010 season, further solidifying his reputation in the league. His local roots and previous successes make him a compelling choice to guide the Steelers into a new era.
