The Pittsburgh Steelers are embarking on a significant transformation of their coaching staff under the leadership of their new head coach, Mike McCarthy. We will be closely monitoring this process and providing ongoing updates. Below, you will find a regularly updated list detailing all reported hires and interviews for various coaching positions, ranging from coordinators to position coaches, including those in strength and conditioning.
While there is a possibility that some of the existing coaches may remain with the team, we will consider every role as vacant until officially confirmed or announced. Toward the end of this update, we will also highlight members of the 2025 coaching staff who have moved on to different opportunities.
