Is Steelers' Mike McCarthy hiring the best candidates to his staff? Or simply familiar faces?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko analyze the composition of new coach Mike McCarthy's staff so far. Is McCarthy leaning too hard into prior relationships with assistants like James Campen, Scott McCurley, Ramon Chinyoung and others? Or holdovers from Mike Tomlin's staff including Gerald Alexander and Tom Arth? Or should fans trust the ways McCarthy has compiled staffs in the past as he adds names like Patrick Graham at DC; Adam Henry at receivers coach and Jason Simmons as a defensive assistant? Our duo tackles those questions, then Chris gives his insight on his media scrum this week with Scott Tolzien, a reported candidate to take the role of offensive coordinator.
