Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II told beat writers Monday that it will be coach Mike Tomlin’s call as to who is the team’s next offensive coordinator.
The Steelers will make an outside hire for the position for the first time since time in more than 10 years after averaging just 17.9 points per game in 20023 (tied for 27th with the Tennessee Titans). Tomlin said recently at his season-in-review press conference that he would make the offensive coordinator hire along with Rooney and GM Omar Khan.
Rooney said today that it will ultimately be Tomlin’s call.
