Mike McCarthy

I never thought it would happen.

I thought Mike would coach for, you know, another 10 years.

So, but yeah, it's been incredible, you know, because this is what you grew up on and it's not,

Coming back to Pittsburgh, I mean, I'm in my backyard.

I mean, I look out my window, I can see Greenfield.

So it's, yeah, it's been remarkable.

And the drive to work's awesome.

You know, just get up every morning and you see the city from my parents' house and it's been incredible.

No, not at all.

The Lord has blessed me over and over and over again, but I think the values that

You know, I learned here in Pittsburgh, starting, you know, with my family and my parents to just, you know, keep your head down and just keep working.

And, you know, good things happen to good people.

And I just, I got to learn, I got to get a better answer for that question.

Because, I mean, because I never really ever dreamed about it.

I mean, we all, I think, dreamed about playing for the Pirates or playing for the Steelers, you know, as kids growing up here.

But, you know, never once did I think I would be standing there being a three-time head coach of three incredible organizations.

Definitely.

I mean, you know, working in the league, I mean, I've worked with coaches that coach, you know, decades in this league and never had the opportunity to even coach in a Super Bowl.

So I know how hard that is to get there.

And I could vividly remember being on a flight back from Chicago to Green Bay, quick flight.
