Whether fair or not, Pittsburgh Steelers fans are scratching their heads and second-guessing Head Coach Mike Tomlin after it was announced that he made the decision that running backs coach James Saxon would not be renewed after five seasons. Performance-wise, Le’Veon Bell was a two-time All-Pro under Saxon, James Conner reached the Pro Bowl, and DeAngelo Williams should have been a Pro Bowler. The on-field product makes the rationale behind it difficult to understand without having more intimate information.
Among those “befuddled” by the situation is Aditi Kinkhabwala, who recalls her interactions with Saxon in the manner that many describe Dan Rooney.
