The Pittsburgh Steelers will slowly begin building their coaching staff under new head coach Mike McCarthy. We’ll be tracking it along the way. Below will be an updated tracker of reported hires and interviews for every opening – coordinators to position coaches to assistants and the strength & conditioning staff.

Though some current coaches could be retained, we’ll assume all positions are vacant until reported or formerly announced. At the bottom, we’ll also post members of the 2025 staff who have departed for other jobs.

If you missed out, take a look at our list of possible candidates who have connections to McCarthy. It’s a lengthy list.

Be sure to refresh this page, as it won’t update on its own. We’ll keep it stickied to the top of the site whenever there are updates, but it’d be wise to bookmark this page as well for times when it’s not front and center. Or you can search “tracker” on the site, and it’ll pop up as a top result.
