‘I Can See Why’ Steelers Opted For Continuity In Retaining OC Matt Canada, Hines Ward Says

Arguably the central argument about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason has been their decision to retain Matt Canada as offensive coordinator. Few fanbases actually like their team’s offensive coordinator, but the Steelers’ in particular have been criticized multiple times at the national level.

Yet some have at least tried to understand the reasoning, stated by team president Art Rooney II. With a young quarterback going into his second season and progress shown in the second half of the season, they are opting for stability at this time.

The belief is that change now would hinder his growth in the upcoming season.
