Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders how new Steelers coach Mike McCarthy stacks up against the nine other coaches hired in this cycle.

Is he the best of the big names changing teams? A group that includes the Giants' John Harbaugh, the Falcons' Kevin Stefanski and the Titans' Robert Saleh? Do first-time coaches like Ravens' Jesse Minter, the Raiders' Klint Kubiak, the Bills' Joe Brady and the Cardinals' Mike LaFleur offer more sizzle? And was McCarthy the best fit of anyone actually hired this cycle, now that reported candidates Nate Scheelhaase and Chris Shula have been shut out of head coaching gigs? Paul tackles those questions and more as McCarthy looks to get more from a roster that includes stars like T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo discuss Chris's first mock draft of the season following his visit to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. over the weekend.

Should coach Mike McCarthy and GM Omar Khan get aggressive at wide receiver given the depth of this class? How could names like Makai Lemon and Malachi Fields fit in the receivers room alongside names like DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson? Is Miami's Keionte Scott a potential fit alongside Joey Porter Jr. at CB? And why does Chris like prospects including safety Bud Clark, guard Beau Stephens and quarterback Cole Payton alongside veterans like Jalen Ramsey, Mason McCormick, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard?

Our duo tackles those questions, plus Scott Tolzien's OC candidacy. Does he have the experience necessary to thrive in the role? Especially with McCarthy likely retaining playcalling duties? Could his game plans get the most out of names like Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson and others? Especially with the young offensive line that includes names like Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones and Mason McCormick maturing? Or are there valid reasons for concern, especially with the future at QB uncertain? Could Tolzien succeed with Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard or Mason Rudolph? And how would the former quarterback help in terms of development should the Steelers look at names like Ty Simpson, Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier and Kade Clubnik in the NFL draft? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Post-Gazette Penguins insider King Jemison takes a look at coach Dan Muse's impact in his first season behind the bench as the NHL's Olympic break approaches. This show is presented by FanDuel.

How has Muse transformed this club on both ends of the ice? Was it on even fuller display Saturday against former Penguins coach Mike Sullivan's New York Rangers? How has he updated the team's offense off the rush and around the net? What about on special teams, both on the power play and the penalty kill?

King tackles those topics, then touches on Kris Letang's injury and what it might mean for the trade deadline before finishing off with Saturday's celebration of the 2016 Stanley Cup team.
