Mike McCarthy makes first major Steelers head coaching decision, report says.

Mike McCarthy’s first major Steelers decision is to hire Adam Henry as the team’s wide receivers coach, a move reported by NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe. McCarthy, speaking at his introductory press conference on Tuesday, stressed that assembling a strong coaching staff has been his priority in recent days.

The Wednesday hire marks Henry’s return to the NFL in a receivers-coach role, as he has spent the last three seasons coaching Bills receivers. Henry is widely regarded as a veteran pass-game coach with extensive experience developing NFL wideouts.

Wolfe’s reporting confirms the Steelers’ move, highlighting Henry’s long track record as a receivers coach. The addition fits McCarthy’s stated focus on building a comprehensive, capable staff to guide Pittsburgh’s on-field development.

This staffing decision comes as part of McCarthy’s broader effort to shape the Steelers’ coaching group ahead of the upcoming season, with more personnel moves anticipated as the team solidifies its offensive and overall coaching philosophy.

Overall, the hire of Adam Henry signals McCarthy’s intent to prioritize experience and proven receiver development as Pittsburgh searches for stability and growth under its new leadership.
