For the third season, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero created an exhaustive list of up-and-coming potential future NFL head coaches. An initial list of 22 names that could be discussed in the 2025 cycle with another CVS-list of names for 2026 and beyond. A real who’s-who of budding stars serving as assistants on current coaching staffs. Of the 119 names he suggested, zero are on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ staff.
Pelissero said the list was created from “dozens of recent conversations with NFL executives, coaches and others close to the search process.” So those in the know.
Frankly, it’s not a shock.
