Steelers Hire Brian Angelichio as Offensive Coordinator Under Mike McCarthy

McCarthy retains play-calling, installing a familiar lieutenant to help reshape Pittsburgh's offense.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh announced Angelichio’s appointment Wednesday, alongside hires of Danny Crossman, Joe Whitt Jr., Domata Peko and Pat Reilly.
  • The 53-year-old spent the past four seasons as the Vikings’ passing game coordinator and tight ends coach and previously worked for McCarthy in Green Bay.
  • McCarthy has said he will call the offensive plays, leaving Angelichio to coordinate the offense without play-calling duties.
  • The move followed Saints assistants Scott Tolzien and Chase Haslett removing themselves from consideration to remain in New Orleans.
  • Angelichio becomes a first-time NFL offensive coordinator as the Steelers’ 2026 quarterback plans remain unsettled with Aaron Rodgers yet to announce his intentions.
