Even though Matt Canada represents a new face from outside the organization on a technical level, he is in many ways a familiar one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hired yesterday to be the team’s new quarterbacks coach after spending decades in the collegiate ranks, primarily as dual quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, he will be taking over the post from Randy Fichtner, allowing him to focus on coordinating the offense.
Likely, however, Canada will have deeper inputs, and the reality is that many will already be familiar with him from his time as the offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Panthers during the 2016 season.
