Could Mike Shula Be the Right Head Coach for the Steelers?

With the Pittsburgh Steelers officially searching for a new head coach, one under-the-radar name deserves serious consideration: Mike Shula. After putting on a defensive masterclass during the playoffs with the Los Angeles Rams, Shula has quietly built a strong case for a bigger role. He’s young, adaptable, and comes from a coaching background that aligns with the Steelers’ long-standing model of stability, discipline, and defensive identity. While he may not be the splashiest name on the market, Shula could be exactly the type of fit Pittsburgh values as they enter a new era.
