This is the last major opening to fill Mike McCarthy\u2019s new staff in Pittsburgh. He has been Kevin O\u2019Connell\u2019s right hand man with the Vikings for the last four seasons in a highly regarded offensive system.<\/p>\n<p>While the Vikings slumped in 2025 with J.J. McCarthy, they were a top 10 scoring offense twice during Angelichio\u2019s tenure in his current role, and finished in the top 12 total offenses for three straight years from 2022 to 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Like Arthur Smith before him, Angelichio comes with a tight end coaching background. He has been a tight ends coach for six different NFL teams and a few other college programs.<\/p>\n<p>If Kaboly is correct, the Steelers will likely announce Angelichio sometime on Wednesday as they did with the other coordinator hires. Once made official, the only position coach role to fill will be the tight ends assuming Angelichio doesn\u2019t double up on his duties. With McCarthy\u2019s expanded coaching staff, that likely won\u2019t be the case.<\/p>\n<p>While this is technically an upgrade in title for Angelichio, McCarthy already confirmed he will be calling the plays in Pittsburgh. He will likely operate in a similar capacity as he was for McConnell, now serving as McCarthy\u2019s right hand man.<\/p>\n<p>Angelichio will be the eighth hire on McCarthy\u2019s staff with ties back to his Green Bay Packers days. He served as a TEs coach under McCarthy from 2016 to 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our Steelers <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2026\/02\/pittsburgh-steelers-coaching-staff-tracker-updating\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">coaching staff tracker<\/a> for all the latest on McCarthy\u2019s hires.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers are nearing an agreement to hire Minnesota Vikings pass game coordinator and tight end coach&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[104230,7,5241,6,520,57,2360,426,691],"class_list":{"0":"post-728094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-brian-angelichio","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-mark-kaboly","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-pittsburgh","13":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","14":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","15":"tag-steelers","16":"tag-trending"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
