Overview
- Jay Glazer says several teams contacted Mike Tomlin after his resignation, but he does not intend to coach in 2026.
- The Giants reached out during their hiring process and were told he would not take a job this year, according to NFL Network reporting relayed by Pro Football Rumors.
- The Steelers retain Tomlin’s contractual rights through next season, so any 2026 move would have required a trade.
- Reports indicate Pittsburgh plans to interview Mike McCarthy on Wednesday, and he is viewed as a strong candidate for the vacancy.
- Speculation ties a potential McCarthy hire to Aaron Rodgers’ retirement calculus, as the 2026 free agent previously spent 12 seasons with McCarthy in Green Bay.
