Kozora: Mike McCarthy Is Pushing All The Right Buttons

Alex Kozora argues that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy deserves significant credit for guiding the team to a 6-2 start and first place in the division. Following a four-game winning streak, Kozora highlights McCarthy's willingness to make necessary personnel adjustments, manage veteran rest, and adapt game plans, including generating 200 rushing yards against the Cleveland Browns.

While noting occasional flaws in clock management and a tendency to pass excessively with Aaron Rodgers, Kozora maintains McCarthy has managed the roster effectively. Kozora writes that while postseason success will ultimately define McCarthy's tenure, the veteran head coach has successfully stepped into the role following Mike Tomlin's departure.
