The Pittsburgh Steelers have a very important hire coming up when they decide who their next offensive coordinator will be. It’s the most important hire of Mike Tomlin’s career and one that will have long-standing implications on the team’s offensive future, especially at the quarterback position. As a guest on The Steam Room podcast hosted by Ernie Johnson and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher talked about just how important it is to surround yourself with the right assistants.
Cowher said when he took over in Pittsburgh, the “leave your ego at the door” culture was already well-established, and he leaned on hiring the right assistants to enforce and continue to build the culture.
