Hines Ward Disappointed He Didn’t Get Steelers WR Job, Believes Haley Was A Scapegoat

Hines Ward was passed over to replace Richard Mann as the next WRs coach, a move that frustrated many in Steelers’ Nation. Speaking for the first time since Pittsburgh hired Darryl Drake instead, Ward sounded disappointed to.

“There was some interest, but I can’t hire myself,” Ward told Sirius’ Lance Moore, a former Steeler himself, per Fox’s Alex Marvez. “If the opportunity presents itself, it’s something where I’d have to sit down and seriously think about it.”

Marvez went on to say, as Ward indicated, that Ward will hope for a coaching job to open up in the near future.
