Head Coach Tracker

Post by Steelafan77 » Wed Jan 14, 2026 8:29 pm

Looks like the Steelers have already requested several interviews just 1 day after the step down of Tomlin.

“ The Pittsburgh Steelers first known head coach interview request is for Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, per source. Baltimore, Cleveland and Las Vegas also have requested interviews with him during this hiring cycle.”

“ Make it a pair of Rams coordinators for the Steelers, who also have requested a head coach interview with LA’s defensive coordinator Chris Shula, per source. https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/2011512563608215810

“ Steelers now have requested a head coach interview with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, per sources.
Flores is in Washington today, interviewing for the Commanders DC job. Steelers HC interview is expected next.”

“ The Steelers have submitted an interview request for Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per source.
Weaver, who faced the Steelers for years as a player and a coach for the Ravens, has a chance to become the next leader in Pittsburgh.”

“ The Steelers requested an interview with Chargers DC Jesse Minter for their head coaching job, per source.”

Oh wow they did go with Steelhaase. I didn't see this when I made my post to @Steelperch

Maybe he is the man out of left field like Tomlin was.

Or if Shula is the target, maybe they are looking at what it would be like to bring in the two as a pair.

Let the HC set the tone and OC/DC set the Plan
which one of these HCs brings the most passion/fire/no-nonsense/hard-work

the more I read the more I like someone like this coupled with Scheelhaase

4 DCs and 1 OC so far

Anyone still wanna insist this time Rooneyball is gonna be different ?

My guess ??

Young black DC is your new Steelers HC

Meet the new boss

Same as the old boss

Rooneyball. Same as it ever was.

Very likely that Scheelhaase would follow Shula here, if Shula is given the job.

Did not notice the established thread already keeping track.

No sense in having two, could combine these two, my bad.
