After the Pittsburgh Steelers received word that former head coach Mike Tomlin was stepping down from his post after nearly two decades, they were all of a sudden in search of a new leader. That is when star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who just recently signed a one-year deal to return to the team, came up with a suggestion.
According to ESPN Steelers reporter Brooke Pryor, Rodgers recommended that Steelers GM Omar Khan interview longtime head coach Mike McCarthy as an outside candidate. Of course, McCarthy ended up being named the team’s head coach in late January.
