Despite a strong 7-2 finish to the 2022 season, there was a lot of outside speculation that Matt Canada might lose his job based on the totality of an offense that ranked 26th in the NFL.
In his post-season meeting with select reporters on Thursday, Art Rooney II provided some clarity on the decision to keep Canada as the team's offensive coordinator. Primarily, it begins with the relationship between Canada and rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett.
"With a rookie quarterback, they seem to work well together. They built a good working relationship," Rooney said.
