It’s not always easy to get a handle on just how the Pittsburgh Steelers handle certain aspects of their business, which can occasionally deviate from the way that other teams might operate. One area that received some clarification this offseason is the fact that, for the most part, the team operates on one-year contracts for their assistant coaches, at least following an initial two-year contract.
So far this offseason, the Steelers have already walked away from three coaches whose contracts were expiring, namely offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett, and defensive backs coach Tom Bradley.
