Pittsburgh Steelers Team President Art Rooney II is open to coaching staff changes. But growing the coaching staff? That’s something unlikely to occur. Evaluating how the team can adjust and improve, Rooney didn’t see the size of the coaching staff as a problem.
“I don’t see that holding us back,” Rooney told reporters Monday via 93. 7 The Fan airing his comments. “I don’t think that’s our problem.”
Rooney pushed back on the notion the Steelers have the NFL’s coaching staff, something our most recent annual study indicated. Based on what the team publicly showed on its website last summer, Pittsburgh had just 19 on-field coaches (excluding analytics coordinators and the strength & conditioning coaches).
