Steelers Hire Mike McCarthy to Fix Offense? | Best Hope, Biggest Worry for Mike Tomlin's Successor

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers hired Mike McCarthy as their new head coach Saturday to be Mike Tomlin's successor. Christopher Carter gives his first thoughts, including why this may be rooted in fixing the Steelers' offense for the future. After years of struggles from Matt Canada and Kenny Pickett to Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers, could Art Rooney II's plan be to have a veteran head coach with an offensive background to bring stability to that side of the ball while the Steelers search for their franchise quarterback? Also, Chris gives what he sees as the Steelers' best hope and biggest worry in their hiring of Mike McCarthy. While he might bring offensive acumen, Chris points out a key weakness from McCarthy's time with the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys that could be a problem as he takes over the Steelers.
