With a head coaching vacancy for the first time in nearly two decades, the Pittsburgh Steelers have some big decisions to make before the 2026 season kicks off. Some of those decisions could involve key players leaving, as the Steelers have plenty of veterans around the roster.
Whenever any long-tenured head coach leaves, there are naturally questions about a potential rebuild. With the age across the Steelers’ roster, especially on defense, some argue a rebuild could be the best choice for Pittsburgh’s future. However, that’s never the way the organization has chosen to attack things.
