Mike McCarthy ranks in CBS Sports' Top 10 coaches entering 2026
Summary

CBS Sports released its Top 10 NFL head coaches for 2026, with Mike McCarthy, currently the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing on the list. Despite past postseason struggles with the Dallas Cowboys, McCarthy's Super Bowl win in 2010 helped secure his place. His successor, Brian Schottenheimer, does not appear in the rankings. Schottenheimer, who has a 7-9 record, is focusing on improving his standing after recent roster investments by the Cowboys' front office. CBS Sports' rankings emphasize performance history and current potential, setting the stage for the upcoming NFL season.
