Deshea Townsend Hired By Bears; Will William Gay Be Next Steelers DB To Coach?

It seems that it’s a good time right now to be a retired former Pittsburgh Steelers player, because coaches around the league have displayed ample willingness to give them employment as a head coach. Especially former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians now that he is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as I have previously written about, hiring Byron Leftwich, Larry Foote, and Antwaan Randle El as members of his coaching staff.

Another former Steeler just found another job with the Chicago Bears, that being cornerback Deshea Townsend, who played in Pittsburgh for a dozen years from 1998 to 2009.
