    Steelers Hire Mike McCarthy: A "Tomlin 2.0" Mistake? | Championship Sunday Preview & Indiana’s Historic Run
    Jan 25 2026
    1.24.26 Is the "Steelers Way" officially dead? Ari Temkin kicks off a massive episode by breaking down the bombshell news that the Pittsburgh Steelers have officially hired Mike McCarthy to succeed Mike Tomlin. Ari explains why this is a catastrophic mistake for a franchise that prides itself on stability, and why it’s time for the front office to do the unthinkable: trade TJ Watt, embrace the rebuild, and stop chasing a mediocre "win-now" ceiling. The McCarthy Meltdown: Ari dives into why hiring Mike McCarthy is "Tomlin 2.0" but with a lower floor. Is the tradition of hiring young, first-time coaches over? Plus, why a TJ Watt trade is the only way to save the future. Championship Sunday Preview: Ari previews a wild Sunday. Can Mike Vrabel’s Patriots handle the altitude in Denver against a Jarrett Stidham-led Broncos team? Then, a breakdown of the NFC West rematch between the Rams and Seahawks. Bill Bender (The Sporting News): The guys discuss the College Football Playoff staying at 12 teams, Indiana’s historic 16-0 championship run under Curt Cignetti, and why Arthur Smith leaving the Steelers to become Ohio State’s OC is the ultimate "get out while you can" move. Gregg Bell (The News Tribune): The Seahawks insider explains how Mike Macdonald flipped the script in Seattle so quickly and why the mid-season acquisition of Ernest Jones IV and what the game plan looks like to stop Sean McVay tomorrow. Chris Mack (Kaboly and Mack and Westwood One Sports): A fiery local perspective on the McCarthy hire. Chris explains why the Steelers jumped the gun, what this means for DK Metcalf’s future in Pittsburgh, and why the "best-case scenario" for 2026 might still be a Wild Card exit.
