From a practical perspective, priority number one for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason is finding a new offensive coordinator. It could quite possibly be the biggest decision left in head coach Mike Tomlin’s career. He simply must get it right this time.
Which makes his comments yesterday all the more notable. In so many words, he said that the Steelers are looking for an outside hire who has prior coordinating experience. That had not been his pattern with Randy Fichtner and Matt Canada.
Suffice it to say that the players are rather interested in finding out who the new offensive coordinator is going to be, as well.
