All of a sudden, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a new offensive coordinator—or perhaps possibly two. At the very least, the tasks previously handled by Matt Canada are now being divided between two men. Running backs coach Eddie Faulkner is formally being recognized as the interim coordinator, but quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will be responsible for the bulk of the play-calling duties.
Neither are new to the team. Faulker was hired to take over the running backs in 2019 and has long been regarded by head coach Mike Tomlin as a young, rising coach. This job with the Steelers is his first in the NFL, but he wore many different hats throughout his college tenure.
