An analyst from The Comeback has suggested that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy is not receiving due respect because he refuses to take GLP-1 weight-loss medication. Qwame Skinner, writing for The Comeback, quoted the analyst as saying McCarthy is "just eating more hamburgers" instead of using the shots.
McCarthy was introduced as the Steelers' new head coach at a press conference on January 27, 2026, at the PNC Champions Club at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. The comments about his weight and medication choices came in an article published on November 3, 2026.
