Steelers pick up coaching search with Brian Flores, Mike McCarthy interviews
NY Post
The Steelers are interviewing a pair of coaching candidates with Pittsburgh ties in their search for Mike Tomlin’s replacement.
Former Steelers assistant Brian Flores and Pittsburgh native Mike McCarthy are interviewing with the club, according to ESPN.
Flores, a former linebackers coach with the club and current Vikings defensive coordinator, reportedly is interviewing Tuesday, while McCarthy, the former Cowboys and Packers coach, will do so Wednesday.
Pittsburgh is one of six openings remaining —- Raiders, Cardinals, Browns, Bills and Ravens—- and the next coach will have big shoes to fill after Tomlin led the franchise to a Super Bowl championship during the 2008 season and did not post a losing record across his nearly two decades with the team.
The Steelers hired Tomlin following one year as the Vikings’ defensive coordinator in 2006 to replace Bill Cowher, making this a difficult opening to project.
“I don’t want to sort of put any real parameters around it,” Steelers owner Art Rooney II said of the team’s search, per ESPN.
