There the kid who grew up rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers from his family’s home in the city’s Greenfield neighborhood was on Tuesday, sitting on dais wearing a black suit with a gold tie, a Steelers pin affixed to his lapel. “I thought I’d at least be able to get started,” the new Steelers head coach said, trying unsuccessfully to choke back his emotions while looking at a wide swath of the McCarthy family spread across the first few rows of a posh club inside Acrisure Stadium. The work has already started, though McCarthy did take a brief moment on the first official day of what could be his final head coaching stop to take it all in. “We can finally, hopefully, wear our Steelers swag, so let’s get it,” McCarthy said.
