NFL Insider Tom Pelissero on Odds Steelers Hire Mike McCarthy as Head Coach | The Rich Eisen Show

1. Shula or no-one

2. I cant IMAGINE Steelers Fans being hyped for Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers combo for next season……

3. Yes McVay has a 'long way to go' to catch McCarthy. He has one less play off win yet McCarthy was a head coach 11 years before McVay.

4. Was hoping Jon Gruden would be an option

5. we dont want McLoser and Bald Weave hair….Shula or Flores. Flores my opinion

6. Not even going to watch this. Steelers to maybe hire Mccarthy?!?! Is this supposed to be a joke? Because there's no chance in hell that ever happens

7. The Eagles should wait for this head coaching cycle to play out before deciding on their OC. McCarthy is the offensive version of Vic Fangio that people keep saying they need to find. The guys they’ve interviewed are not inspiring — Matt Nagy is the best of a ‘meh’ group

8. The amount this guy is talking up McCarthy it sounds like they’re close friends. If you hire McCarthy you are saying nothing needs to change and nothing will change.

9. “Third most iconic franchise” is a very interesting phase to use….

10. There is no way Rodgers is coming back. Rooney spoke on this last week! He said that Rodgers was Tomlin’s choice. So, no…no more Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh

11. McCarthy is Sean Payton. Same resume. 62 years old, 1 time Super Bowl Champ, won that Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame QB. Known for developing QB’s. I don’t see any difference between the two.

12. Tom and Mike share an agent jsyk

13. Pelissero's pandering towards McCarthy makes me believe that he's never watched a playoff game that McCarthy has coached. For those of us who saw him in Green Bay and Dallas, we ALL KNOW WHY he's currently unemployed. He's the most conservative, predictable coach I've seen.

14. Why Why Why!!!!! He sucked in GB and Dallas… this makes no sense

15. Every job is your dream job until you get fired

16. McCarthy does a great job between gamedays. But he's paid for Sunday performance, and he's underwhelming on sundays

17. Fernando Mendoza for starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 👍👍👍😃😃

18. If Pittsburgh hired McCarthy he would be their oldest coach ever.

19. Anybody else have a stroke trying to keep up with this guys doublespeak and nonsense

20. If they choose McCarthy worst decision they will ever make

21. I've been a Steelers fan for 30 years. If they hire McCarthy ill find a new team!

22. No McCarty ! He can't win in the postseason either. You're making a change , make a change !

23. His teams are wildly undisciplined and led the league in penalties in dallas. And surely some of his success can be attributed to having rodgers and dak his entire career right?

24. No Rogers….. regardless of the HC

25. McCarthy is too old for the Steelers.They need to get a young coach and start Howard Now. Shula is the guy!

26. Packers fan here and we really miss Coach Mike

27. No, no, NO! 1000 times No. Not interested in Mike McCarthy. Thanks for your time, you are free to go. 🙄

28. 1-3 in the playoffs in Dallas.

29. The McCarthy criticism is all about his recent record in the post-season. With a talented Cowboys roster, he only managed to win 1 playoff game with the Cowboys, and that was against an aging TB12. He does not seem to add an X factor to a team as a coach that seems to get a team over the hump. Which is exactly what the Steelers do NOT need. I am referring to his recent stint with the Cowboys, but he also finished pretty weakly in GB his last 2 seasons there. I don't give much credence to past accomplishments, when more recent results tell a different story (looking at you, DangerRuss).

30. This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. We don’t want a retread. We want an innovative, forward-thinking coach!

31. Not to forget that Mike McCarthy beat the Steelers in a Superbowl.

32. Does tom say anything at all

33. I don't see it happening. A shame Jon Gruden got black-balled.

34. Greenfield Mike! IYKYK

35. Hire Mike and McDermott as DC and Scheelhuase as OC

36. McCarthy would be the final nail in the coffin and the end to the Steelers era of winning. I'm already with one foot out the door.

37. I would rather sign Gruden to develop a new QB if that is the case. Don't need another Mediocre Mike.

38. Lol y'all hating on Big Mike but the results are the results. He wins and his quarterbacks play extremely well. Even if he is "lazy", he clearly knows how to put together a staff that gets the job done. Take the sure thing. It's not like he's gonna be there forever. But he should be able to get y'all through this transitioning period and set Pittsburgh up well long-term with an established franchise QB and a culture.

39. I suspect that McCarthy may be attractive to some inside the Steelers front office and ownership for the same reasons Russ Grimm was a finalist 19 years ago: older, established, hometown guy. How did Russ’ search for a head coaching job turn out after he was passed over by the Steelers? “The new broom sweeps clean.”

40. Sign McCarthy to a 1 year deal. Bring back Rodgers for 1 more season. The Last Dance

41. Noooooooo. Clickbait

42. It will be hilarious when the Steelers fans squeal about the new coach and are nostalgic for the days of Tomlin.😂 Get that popcorn ready….

43. Yeah, not a very impressive résumé. He’s only coached the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys.

44. Tf has Weaver done?

45. Can’t we just hire somebody that has known to win?. you’re gonna bring an experience coaching and it’s gonna take him four years to figure it out Lord have mercy
