Steelers' Mike McCarthy Found Turnover Coach in Joe Whitt Jr.? | Hires Not Mired by 'Buddy System'

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers hired both Brian Angelichio and Joe Whitt Jr. to Mike McCarthy's staff Wednesday. Christopher Carter and Josh Taylor react on if those are the right moves. Whitt has a history of contributing to a turnover culture, which could be the answer the Steelers need to help with their defense. But is McCarthy making a mistake hiring so many coaches who are either tied to his past coaching tenures or the city of Pittsburgh? Chris and Josh also review the Locked on Steelers Stars and Skulls grades for the tight ends. How did Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington stack up with their performances this season?
