McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native, returns to his hometown team in a move that marks a significant addition to the Steelers' staff.
In another major development reported by Ian Rapoport, the Buffalo Bills have interviewed former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers for a potential role within the organization. The report states that the interest between the Bills and Rivers is "real," with the team identifying the veteran passer as an "elite leader."

Per the report, Daboll is currently in the mix for two separate head coaching positions as teams look to finalize their leadership structures. Daboll’s involvement in multiple searches highlights his status as a top candidate in the current hiring cycle.
These moves represent a significant wave of news across the league as teams move quickly to secure coaching talent and veteran leadership. Further details regarding the specific roles for McCarthy and Rivers have not yet been disclosed.
