Mike Tomlin Didn’t Tell Players About Coaching Change, Believes They Found Out Through Media

When it comes to making significant changes like firing an offensive coordinator, typically those within the organization all know before the media and the fan base know0.

That might not be the case for the Pittsburgh Steelers after they fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada Tuesday morning.

During his weekly press conference Tuesday, Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he didn’t tell the players before announcing the move, though he did sit down with the entire coaching staff to discuss the changes.

Pressed further on how the players found out about the change at offensive coordinator, Tomlin was rather blunt.
