Mike McCarthy’s new-look Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff is officially in place. Just two on-field coaches were retained from Mike Tomlin’s staff in the franchise’s biggest single-season turnover since 1992, when Bill Cowher kept just one coach from Chuck Noll’s staff – longtime RBs coach Dick Hoak.
So how does it compare to Tomlin’s? Quality is subjective and to be determined. If Pittsburgh finds success, McCarthy hit home runs. If the Steelers struggle, fire them all. That’s the sentiment.
We can compare them in quantity. Since 2022, we have been examining coaching staff size not just in Pittsburgh but league-wide.
