New NFL Head Coach Has His Sights Set on Aaron Rodgers Being His Starting QB

Art Stapleton of USA Today reported Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has emerged as a possible Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator under Mike McCarthy, noting Graham worked with McCarthy in Green Bay.
Mike McCarthy's hiring aims to revamp the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense and pursue a championship, with Art Rooney II highlighting McCarthy's quarterback development as key.
Graham's track record shows he coached a top-10 defense twice in seven seasons but finished 25th in scoring defense last year with the Las Vegas Raiders.
If the reports are accurate, fans may rattle before McCarthy coaches as critics warn hiring Patrick Graham could inflame Pittsburgh Steelers fans concerned about offense priorities.
Because McCarthy worked with Doug Nussmeier, Pittsburgh Steelers with 12 draft picks this year could still target Garrett Nussmeier, LSU quarterback and 2026 NFL Draft prospect, despite his down senior season.
