While uncharted territory for the Pittsburgh Steelers, moving on from an in-season coordinator firing is standard operating procedure around the NFL. it happens probably just about every single year, frequently on multiple occasions. Just this year, their firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada was preceded by the Buffalo Bills parting ways with their own.
Either way, the Steelers are not the rest of the league, so it will be a feeling-out process for them this week as they test their new setup. Running backs coach Eddie Faulkner will be running things during the week, but he’ll know his place on game days with quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan tasked with actually calling the plays.
