Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Fox News) — The Pittsburgh Steelers introduced Mike McCarthy as their new head coach, replacing Mike Tomlin after 19 seasons.

## Key Details
McCarthy’s appointment raises questions about the starting quarterback for next season, with Aaron Rodgers’ future uncertain. Steelers’ owner Art Rooney II mentioned a decision on Rodgers could come in the next month.

## Rodgers’ Decision
Rodgers, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers last year, has not confirmed his return for the 2026 season. McCarthy’s hiring was independent of Rodgers’ potential comeback.

## Team Outlook
The Steelers drafted Will Howard and re-signed Mason Rudolph. McCarthy is optimistic about Howard’s potential. Discussions about Rodgers’ future will take place if he decides to return.

## Rodgers’ Reflection
After a playoff loss to the Texans, Rodgers remained non-committal about his future. He spent most of his career with the Packers before a brief stint with the Jets and then signing with the Steelers.
