Less than a week after Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism about offensive coordinator Matt Canada returning in his role following a frustrating 42-21 season-ending loss in the first round of the AFC playoffs to the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers’ Insider Gerry Dulac believes that Steelers’ owner Art Rooney II could step in and force a change.
Twice in his January 21 season-ending Steelers’ chat on the Post-Gazette’s website, Dulac touched on the possibility that Rooney could come down from on high and force a change at offensive coordinator. Citing the Bruce Arians debacle from the 2012 season, Dulac believes it could happen again with Canada, though assuming Canada would land so quickly on his feet in the NFL like Arians did would be ludicrous.
