PITTSBURGH —

The Pittsburgh Steelers have interviewed several candidates in the team’s search for a new head coach. Another major name joined the list this week.

After completing a round of virtual interviews, the Steelers are now holding in-person interviews with “selected candidates.” Here’s where the process currently stands.

Steelers meet with Flores and McCarthy; Weaver up next

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who had a virtual interview with the Steelers, is getting another meeting in person. Weaver’s second interview will take place Friday, according to a report from the NFL Network. Weaver previously was an assistant with the Ravens, Texans, Browns, Bills and Jets.

Brian Flores, the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator, had an in-person interview with the Steelers on Tuesday. Flores was a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach on Mike Tomlin’s staff in Pittsburgh during the 2022 season.

On Wednesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Flores signed an extension with Minnesota but could still get a job as a head coach somewhere else. If he does not sign with another team, he will return to the Vikings.

The Steelers said on Wednesday that an in-person meeting with Pittsburgh native Mike McCarthy was also completed.

McCarthy is a Pittsburgh native who led the Green Bay Packers to a win over the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV and was most recently the Dallas Cowboys’ head coach.

Virtual interviews completed

A Steelers spokesman confirmed that seven virtual interviews were held last week:

Ejiro Evero (Panthers defensive coordinator)Jeff Hafley (Packers defensive coordinator)Klay Kubiak (49ers offensive coordinator)Jesse Minter (Chargers defensive coordinator)Nate Scheelhaase (Rams passing game coordinator)Chris Shula (Rams defensive coordinator)Anthony Weaver (Dolphins defensive coordinator)

Hafley and Minter are now off the board. The Miami Dolphins hired Hafley as head coach on Monday; Minter was hired by the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday.

Evero, Kubiak, Shula and Scheelhaase have also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Minter and Scheelhaase have also interviewed with the Cleveland Browns.

Head coach search moves to next phase

The Steelers are looking for a head coach for the first time in 19 years after Mike Tomlin stepped down last week.

Following their initial round of virtual interviews, the Steelers said that in-person meetings with “selected candidates” began this week.

Weaver is reportedly one of the candidates who will get a second, in-person interview this week, according to the NFL Network.

Scheelhaase and Shula are preparing for the NFC championship game on Sunday, so it’s unclear when they would be available to the Steelers for an in-person interview.
