McCarthy's opening press conference will begin today, but as the celebration and work kick off there, the Cowboys are likely going to be cringing until his new staff with the Steelers is assembled and complete. Why? Well, let's not forget, McCarthy was in the building for Dallas just over a year ago, and some of his staff lingered on Brian Schottenheimer's. Now, those guys may have a chance to leave Dallas to reconnect with their original boss in Pittsburgh.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Pittsburgh is expected to interview Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells this week. Wells has been in his current position since 2020, the year McCarthy arrived as Dallas' head coach. The two worked together for five years on the Cowboys' staff. Wells began his NFL coaching career in 2012 with the Giants. The 47-year-old remained in New York for eight years before joining McCarthy in Dallas.
