A potential scoop from Donny to start today's show after he got a text that Aaron Rodgers ‘will be back, period.' Do fans want this? Will this do anything for the Steelers? It feels like another case of kicking the can down the road. Rodgers said Mike Tomlin was the only coach he wanted to play for, but the Steelers hired the only other coach that would fall under that category in the form of Mike McCarthy. Why is there a fear of this team looking to the future?

A potential scoop from Donny to start today's show after he got a text that Aaron Rodgers ‘will be back, period.' Do fans want this? Will this do anything for the Steelers? It feels like another case of kicking the can down the road. Rodgers said Mike Tomlin was the only coach he wanted to play for, but the Steelers hired the only other coach that would fall under that category in the form of Mike McCarthy. Why is there a fear of this team looking to the future? The Steelers and Mike McCarthy are starting to fill out the staff, including James Campen, who coached over a decade with McCarthy in Green Bay and is also a favorite of Aaron Rodgers. How do fans feel? Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Where are things at with Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates? Jason thinks there is a spot for Cutch on the team, but in what role? Jason gets a strong feel that McCutchen wants to play in Pittsburgh even though some people are telling him Cutch has a market around the league. Jason said Paul Skenes is the ‘hub' of the current Pirates team and it might be tough for McCutchen to face that fact. Jason mentioned that trading Joey Bart would open up a slot for Cutch to be the team's DH again at a full-time role. Would this permanently strain the Pirates-McCutchen relationship? The guys don't understand why Cutch doesn't want to try chasing a championship. Jason isn't sure if Cutch is good enough to be on a true contender's roster.

On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to analyze the next moves in front of new coach Mike McCarthy now that he's been introduced. Can anyone from outside the Mike Tomlin and Bill Cowher coaching tree really coach the defense the same way after McCarthy's commitment to keep the 3-4 scheme in place for now? Does that decision open the door for Teryl Austin to return? Or will he give way to reported candidates including Jason Simmons and Patrick Graham as the franchise looks to get more from a unit led by names like Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr.? Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to offense. Will McCarthy cultivate a larger staff that Tomlin did under coordinators including Arthur Smith and Matt Canada? Opening space for younger coaches to rise through the ranks? Or will he try to keep the circle tight? Will he choose an OC from his own coaching tree, which includes reported candidates like Scott Tolzien and Lunda Wells? Or could he look outside at a name like Nate Scheelhaase, should the Browns decide not to target him in their own coaching search? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the aftermath of this week’s winter storm, Gov. Josh Shapiro took time to say thank you to highway workers who were on the job since the first flakes began falling. State Attorney General Dave Sunday and the Bureau of Consumer Protection are warning scammers might take advantage of the recent winter storm and current cold weather. The snowstorm dumped anywhere from 9 to 15 inches of snow across Pennsylvania. This may come as a surprise today, but winter is still the fastest-warming season in the Philadelphia region. That doesn’t mean we can’t get serious cold snaps. An inmate at the state prison at Camp Hill has died. The state Department of Corrections has identified him as 46-year-old James Campbell, who was found unresponsive in his cell on Sunday. Outraged critics are accusing Donald Trump of “whitewashing history” after the National Park Service last week removed an exhibit on slavery at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike McCarthy have reached a verbal agreement for McCarthy to become the club's next head coach. McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native, it set to succeed Mike Tomlin, whose surprise departure created just the third job opening in Pittsburgh since 1969.

9:00 - Jeremy and Joe discuss what to expect from Joe Brady in his head coaching stint.

Mike White wrote a story about Mike McCarthy's youth sports career. He graduated from Bishop Boyle High School. McCarthy said he loves the Steelers roster. He thinks it's very beneficial the Steelers have a lot of guys coming back. McCarthy said Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin left him a lot of players. McCarthy said he is going to be calling the Steelers plays.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: McCarthy said he loves the Steelers roster. He thinks it's very beneficial the Steelers have a lot of guys coming back. McCarthy said Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin left him a lot of players. Austin thinks Omar Khan working with the Saints at the same time as McCarthy was a big reason why McCarthy is the guy. The Raiders and Cardinals are the only head coach positions left. Was Marino-Montana the greatest quarterback matchup in Super Bowl history?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson spot some immediate differences they've noticed between former Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin and current Steelers' head coach Mike McCarthy. Also, Ray Fittipaldo from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on The Fan Hotline. And how was coach Bill Belichick not voted into the NFL Hall-Of-Fame this year? January 28, 2026, 8:00 Hour

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi had a breakdown on Patrick Graham, who is expected to be hired as the Steelers next defensive coordinator. The guys asked Aditi about the hiring of Mike McCarthy and what the staff and team could look like next season. She thinks McCarthy's main goal is to figure out the quarterback. Are the Steelers going to run it back with Aaron Rodgers? She was surprised by how high everyone was on Will Howard in the press conference. She thought it was a little odd that the entire staff got told to go home after Mike Tomlin stepped down before the decision was even made on a new coach. Aditi would have loved Jim Schwartz getting a call from the Steelers and thinks it's an ‘insult' to assume Schwartz, who is known to run a 4-3 defense, can't adapt to a 3-4. Aditi predicted that Howard will be the Steelers QB in Week 1 next season.

Mark Kaboly said ‘absolutely yes' when asked on the midday show if Aaron Rodgers will be back in 2026 for a Steelers reunion with Mike McCarthy. Yuck. Why would that be a good idea? The guys are looking for good reasons, if there are any, for Rodgers to return next season. We discussed Kaboly's admiration of the Steelers always being the same team.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze the impact Mike McCarthy's hiring to replace Mike Tomlin as coach could have on the offense. Could he get more from players including DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Jaylen Warren and others under contract for 2026? Was that a point of emphasis for owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan in making this move? And what will that mean for the QB situation with Aaron Rodgers' future uncertain ahead of names like Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponder what McCarthy could be looking for in an offensive coordinator. Will it be another established name like Arthur Smith, who's now off to Ohio State? Or could he lean on a younger name from his own coaching tree? With Scott Tolzien being one notable option from that list? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo react to the introduction of Mike McCarthy as Steelers coach, replacing Mike Tomlin. They explain how McCarthy showed his love for his hometown; his belief in the existing defensive scheme that dates to Bill Cowher and has produced standouts from Levon Kirkland to T.J. Watt; his kind words for QBs Will Howard and Aaron Rodgers; his plan to call the plays as he has throughout his career, rather than deferring to an offensive coordinator; and his belief in the running game as he ponders free agency decisions involving players from Kenneth Gainweel and Jaylen Warren to Isaac Seumalo.

Joe is convinced that tomorrow some people will feel differently about Mike McCarthy after his opening press conference. Joe got a shoutout from the crew at PTI saying McCarthy is just like Mike Tomlin. Rams President Kevin Demoff fired back at Poni's report on Chris Shula bombing the interview and said he talked talked to the Steelers, who said the report is untrue.

Brian wanted the Steelers to wait to talk to Chris Shula and Nate Scheelhaase. He thinks McCarthy will talk a lot about Pittsburgh and mention Will Howard and Mike Tomlin. The defense has "a blank slate" with a new coordinator. Brian thinks it's 50/50 that Aaron Rodgers comes back.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Brian Batko wanted the Steelers to wait to talk to Chris Shula and Nate Scheelhaase. He thinks McCarthy will talk a lot about Pittsburgh and mention Will Howard and Mike Tomlin. Ranking who walked into the best situation between Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin, and Mike McCarthy. We give it around a 40% chance Konnor Griffin is on the Opening Day roster.

Ranking who walked into the best situation between Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin, and Mike McCarthy. We give it a 40% chance Konnor Griffin is on the Opening Day roster. We think it's better than 75% Evgeni Malkin is back next year.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached a verbal agreement to hire Mike McCarthy as their next head coach, succeeding long-time leader Mike Tomlin, who stepped down after 19 seasons. McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native with 18 seasons of NFL head-coaching experience — including a Super Bowl victory with the Green Bay Packers — brings a veteran presence to a franchise that rarely changes coaches. His hiring marks only the fourth head coach in Steelers history since 1969, a significant shift from their traditional approach of younger, first-time head coaches. For the Cincinnati Bengals and the AFC North more broadly, this hire changes several key dynamics. First, McCarthy's offensive pedigree — having developed elite quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Dak Prescott — suggests the Steelers may become more competitive on offense sooner rather than later. That bump in offensive creativity could intensify divisional matchups with the Bengals, who have seen success in recent years behind Joe Burrow's playmaking. A resurgent Steelers offense could mean closer Steelers-Bengals games and more pressure in the division standings. Second, McCarthy's arrival adds unpredictability. Pittsburgh's quarterback situation remains fluid — especially with Aaron Rodgers' future uncertain — and McCarthy's history with veteran quarterbacks could influence Rodgers to return or attract another experienced signal-caller. If that happens, the Bengals — who have often battled Pittsburgh for AFC North supremacy — may face a rejuvenated rival. Finally, coaching changes often shift divisional psychology. Where the Bengals have had recent edge in continuity, the Steelers under McCarthy will be retooling schemes and culture. This could either temporarily ease Cincinnati's path or, if McCarthy quickly installs his system, tighten the race for playoff positioning. Overall, McCarthy's hiring doesn't just reshape Pittsburgh's future — it reshapes the competitive landscape the Bengals must navigate in 2026 and beyond.

Mike McCarthy said he wants Aaron Rodgers back in 2026. A big no thanks from the three of us. Why does McCarthy want to just run it back so badly? He said Mike Tomlin ‘left him a lot,' but that is far from the truth – maybe it was just one Mike being nice to another. Rodgers still has the arm and the mind, but those are just two parts of the game. Look at every great QB in the league right now and you will find that almost all of them use their legs effectively. Is Will Howard going to get a real shot the be the man in Pittsburgh? Poni knows he might be insane with QB takes, but he is surprised by the amount of love he is getting from Mike McCarthy and Omar Khan already. It is giving off the vibe that the Steelers think they got a steal with Howard. Or is this all a front? Donny Football Debrief – The Steelers have interviews booked for their OC & DC search. Lunda Wells, the Cowboys TE Coach, who coached under Mike McCarthy for 5 seasons in Dallas, will interview for the OC spot. Jason Simmons, the current Commanders defensive pass game coordinator, has an interview scheduled to be the Steelers next DC. Simmons coached under McCarthy and played for the Steelers from 1998-2001. Chris added that he is happy McCarthy is transparent about who is calling the plays on a particular side of the ball.

Jason explores whether Mike Vrabel, Mike Macdonald, Sam Darnold, and Drake Maye drove a stake into the heart of NFL black worship and idolatry. In the year of the black quarterback in professional football, white coaches paired with white quarterbacks dominated the NFL. Look no farther than Sunday's AFC and NFC Championships. Twelve NFL teams featured white QBs paired with white coaches. Of those 12, only the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts (with injured QBs), had a losing record. The combined regular-season record of those 12 teams was 134-70. Across football, it was a bad year for black racial idolatry. Deion Sanders went 3-9. Penn State fired James Franklin. Sherrone Moore torched his personal life and career at Michigan. Mike Tomlin exited Pittsburgh without a press conference and amid nasty rumors about his personal life. The regular-season win-loss record for black NFL QBs was embarrassing. And media race-baiters Stephen A. Smith, Cam Newton, Ryan Clark, Jemele Hill, and Josina Anderson made utter fools of themselves. Jason argues that "black culture" has baited too many black people to abandon winning Christian values for the losing values of racial idolatry. It's an amazing episode of "Fearless," with Steve Kim. ​​Today's Sponsors: Ghost Bed Sleep like never before on a GHOST BED! It's the most INCREDIBLE mattress I've ever experienced.

Alex and I discuss the development of the next franchise quarterback being the primary focus now and whether we'll see QB Aaron Rodgers back in Pittsburgh in 2026. We discuss whether the Steelers could possibly look at acquiring a quarterback such as Mac Jones or Malik Willis by this year's draft in hopes of turning either into the NFL's next Sam Darnold. Former Steelers OC Arthur Smith will be the next offensive coordinator for Ohio State so that bit of news gets our attention during this show. Alex and I also further discuss what the Steelers rebuilt coaching staff could look like with McCarthy now installed as the team's new head coach.
