Steelers Coaching Philosophy an Obstacle for Chris Shula? | Youth on Roster a Plus in Coach Search  
Podcast: Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers
Published On: Fri Jan 23 2026
Description: Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV.The Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching search continues, but could their philosophy on hiring coaches get in the way of Chris Shula if he's their guy? Christopher Carter and Josh Taylor discuss how Art Rooney II and the Steelers' philosophy of keeping small coaching staffs and not dishing out big contracts for assistant coaches could be a hurdle for Shula to figure out that contrasts to his days under Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams. Also, Chris and Josh talk about how the roster Omar Khan and Andy Weidl have formed should entice head coaching candidates like Shula, Nate Scheelhaase and Anthony Weaver. Players like Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon, Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu and others all look like pillar players for a future nucleus in a roster that has plenty of cap space and easy moves that could create more space. Finally, Chris and Josh give their picks on conference championship weekend with the Denver Broncos hosting the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks hosting the Los Angeles Rams.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to LOSTEELERSTOPICBAG@GMAIL.COMFollow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.
