Steelers’ Mike McCarthy named one of best new coaches

Mike McCarthy has been identified as one of the top new NFL head coaches this season by CBS Sports, earning a B- grade and a fourth-place ranking. The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently 4-2, tying for the most wins among first-year hires and placing them second in the AFC North.

After a slow start where they averaged 11.5 points per game in the first two weeks, the team has improved to 28.5 points per game since Week 3, the fifth-best mark in the league.

In a recent road victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Steelers overcame a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win 26-19 in overtime, marking their biggest late-game comeback since 2002. While McCarthy is the most veteran coach in the division with 18 previous seasons, he ranks behind Todd Monken and Jesse Minter among the AFC North's new hires.

Joe Brady of the Bills leads the new coaching group with a 5-1 record. McCarthy, 62, aims to become the first coach to win Super Bowls with two different franchises.
