It’s certainly been awhile since we’ve talked about a new offensive coordinator joining the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, it hasn’t happened since I began writing for Steelers Depot all the way back in 2013. So today, we’ll break down what to expect from Randy Fichtner, widely expected to take over for Todd Haley.
Up front, you gotta know a couple things.
1. I don’t expect this offense to dramatically change. One reason why Fichtner was hired was because of his positive relationship with Ben Roethlisberger. The other was to keep the system intact instead of bringing in a brand new scheme that would take time to learn, growing pains to endure, things this offense doesn’t need to deal with in Ben’s final couple of years.
