One reason why sweeping Pittsburgh Steelers coaching changes didn’t occur in 2025 is because they happened the year prior. In 2024, the team overhauled large portions of its coaching and scouting staff. Among those moves was the addition of new head Strength & Conditioning coach Phil Matusz, replacing long-time Steeler Marcel Pastoor. A year later, it’s looking like one of the worst hires Mike Tomlin has made.
That’s shown in the Steelers’ 2025 NFLPA report card reflective of the 2024 season. Strength and Conditioning staff is one of several sections graded. In the 2024 release under the previous staff, Pittsburgh received middling marks, a B-plus but 20th overall.
