Pittsburgh Steelers Hire Scott McCurley as Inside Linebackers Coach

The Pittsburgh Steelers have hired Scott McCurley as their new inside linebackers coach, replacing Aaron Curry, who joined the New York Jets. McCurley, a native of New Castle, Pennsylvania, has a strong connection to the area, having played college football at the University of Pittsburgh and started his coaching career there. He brings a wealth of experience from his time with the Dallas Cowboys, where he developed notable players like Micah Parsons and Leighton Vander Esch. His NFL journey began in 2006 with the Green Bay Packers, where he rose through the ranks before moving to Dallas in 2020. McCurley will join Gerald Alexander, the new defensive backs coach, as part of the Steelers' refreshed coaching staff. The team's defensive performance will be under scrutiny as they seek improvements in the upcoming season.
