The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the few teams in the NFL who did not employ a quarterbacks coach in 2019. This used to be Randy Fichtner’s job prior to being promoted to offensive coordinator before 2018, and technically Fichtner did shoulder those duties in 2019 along with coordinating the offense.
Nonetheless, the Steelers decided to bring in a new quarterbacks coach for the 2020 season, and that coach would be none other than Matt Canada. Canada, who spent time coaching the University of Pittsburgh, Maryland, LSU and other schools.
But after the hiring, the question was whether Canada would simply be working with the quarterbacks, or have a chance to put his imprint on the Steelers’ offense.
