Searching for just their fourth head coach since 1969, the Steelers will interview Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores on Tuesday and former Packers and Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
Whoever lands the job in Pittsburgh will have massive shoes to fill.
The Steelers are replacing Super Bowl winner Mike Tomlin, who coached from 2007-25. Tomlin followed Super Bowl winner Bill Cowher, who coached from 1992-2006. Cowher followed four-time Super Bowl champion Chuck Noll, who coached from 1969-91.
Flores, 44, was 24-25 as head coach of the Dolphins from 2019-21. Since then, he has been a defensive assistant coach for the Steelers (2022) and the defensive coordinator for the Vikings since 2023.
ESPN reported that Minnesota wants to retain Flores if he does not land a No. 1 job in this coaching cycle.
McCarthy, 62, did not coach in the NFL this season after compiling a 49-35 record -- with three 12-win seasons -- in Dallas from 2020-24. He went 125-77-2 with Green Bay from 2006-18 and led the Packers to victory against the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver reportedly is being brought in for a second interview with the Steelers this week.
