The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially completed an in-person interview with Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for their head coaching vacancy, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Weaver, a former NFL defensive lineman who played seven seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, has spent the last decade ascending the coaching ranks. Before his current stint with the Dolphins, Weaver served as the assistant head coach and defensive line coach for the Ravens, where he earned significant praise for his leadership and tactical development of the front seven. His interview with the Steelers marks a key step in the franchise's search for its next leader.
The Steelers' interest in Weaver comes as the organization evaluates several candidates to lead the team into the next era. Known for his ability to relate to players and his extensive experience under various successful coaching trees, Weaver has become a prominent name in this year's hiring cycle. The Pittsburgh front office is expected to continue its thorough interview process with additional candidates in the coming days, though no firm timeline for a final hiring decision has been established.
The move to interview Weaver indicates the Steelers' focus on maintaining a strong defensive identity while seeking a fresh perspective for the head coaching role. Further updates regarding the Steelers' search and potential follow-up interviews are expected as the offseason progresses.
