The Terrible Podcast — Talking Rooney On McCarthy Hire, Super Bowl LX, 2026 QB, AFCN HC Rankings & Much More

Season 16, Episode 85 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing Super Bowl LX now being set with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks.

Steelers owner Art Rooney II talked to Bob Labriola over the weekend about the team hiring Mike McCarthy to be its next head coach, so Alex and I make sure to parse all of his comments on the subject. Alex and I also discuss the Steelers’ process of hiring a new head coach and whether or not it was McCarthy’s job to have the moment Mike Tomlin resigned.

Alex and I discuss the development of the next franchise quarterback being the primary focus now and whether we’ll see QB Aaron Rodgers back in Pittsburgh in 2026. We discuss whether the Steelers could possibly look at acquiring a quarterback such as Mac Jones or Malik Willis before this year’s draft in hopes of turning either into the NFL’s next Sam Darnold.

Former Steelers OC Arthur Smith will be Ohio State’s next offensive coordinator so that bit of news gets our attention during this show. Alex and I also further discuss what the Steelers’ rebuilt coaching staff could look like with McCarthy now the team’s head coach.

Later in this Monday show, Alex and I discuss whether McCarthy should be considered the top head coach in the AFC North division at this point, even with the Cleveland Browns yet to hire their next head coach.

This 80-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we make sure to read and answer several emails we have received from listeners.
