McCarthy Flexible As Steelers Coach

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike McCarthy is proving to be flexible and proactive as the Pittsburgh Steelers coach. After a frustrating Week 4 loss, he decided to move defensive coordinator Patrick Graham from the coach’s booth to the sideline. The change prompted better communication between Graham and his players, directly contributing to a 34-22 victory over Indianapolis that boosted Pittsburgh’s record to 3-2. McCarthy’s decision highlights his willingness to adapt and make changes when needed, a departure from a sometimes more rigid approach by former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Pittsburgh will look for consecutive victories for the first time this season when it visits Tampa Bay in Week 6.
