Steelers Nation, this coaching search is no longer following a straight line.
Pittsburgh just wrapped up another in-person interview, this time with Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. He’s not the loudest name. He’s not the trendy pick. But he’s experienced, respected, and firmly in the mix. When the Steelers bring someone into the building face to face, it means real interest. Weaver’s background screams defense, leadership, and locker room presence. That comparison to a young Mike Tomlin isn’t being thrown around lightly.
While the front office searches for its next leader, roster work hasn’t slowed down. Jahvaree Ritzie is the latest future signing, another move that signals competition and flexibility along the defensive line. He’s not being handed anything. He’s being given a chance. That’s classic Steelers football. Depth now. Decisions later. Let camp sort it out.
Then comes the curveball.
Mario Cristobal. A name no one had circled in ink, but one that suddenly makes you stop and think. Old-school mentality. Program builder. Tough practices. Physical identity. It’s far from a lock, and maybe far from realistic, but it tells you something important. The Steelers are not limiting themselves to the NFL bubble. They’re listening. They’re exploring. And they’re clearly prioritizing leadership above all else.
And then there’s the quarterback conversation, because of course there is.
Joe Flacco didn’t shut the door. Not even close. The idea of Flacco in Black & Gold feels strange, but so did Wilson. So did Rodgers. At this point, the Steelers are clearly open to a bridge quarterback who can stabilize the room while the future takes shape. Flacco still has arm talent. He still has fearlessness. The real question isn’t whether he can play. It’s whether this roster, this scheme, and this next coaching staff would actually put him in a position to succeed.
That’s the theme of this entire offseason.
Nothing is settled.
Nothing is safe.
And every move feels connected to the next.
This is the first true reset Pittsburgh has faced in decades. And you can feel the weight of every decision.
Is Anthony Weaver a real threat to land the head coaching job?
Would you trust a college coach like Mario Cristobal to lead the Steelers?
Does Jahvaree Ritzie have a legitimate shot to earn a roster spot in 2026?
Could Joe Flacco actually make sense as a bridge quarterback in Pittsburgh?
