Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced Adrian Klemm would be leaving for his new Oregon job effective immediately as opposed to waiting until after the Steelers’ season ended. It was a rare move in the Steelers’ organization, seeing a coach leave in the middle of the season to take another job, much less a job in the college game.
Klemm will be replaced by assistant Chris Morgan and during his Tuesday press conference, Mike Tomlin explained why he allowed Klemm to leave in-season and why he’s excited to give Morgan the chance to lead the group.
“We released a statement yesterday regarding Adrian Klemm and his departure to go to Oregon,” Tomlin said in a press conference aired on the team’s YouTube channel.
