Rapoport: OC Matt Canada’s Seat Will Be Hot If Offense Doesn’t ‘Ramp Up’

If there’s anyone who needs the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense to show immediate improvement Sunday, it’s offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

Despite Mike Tomlin’s overall public confidence, players taking ownership of their struggles, and the historical nature of the Steelers never firing coaches in the middle of a season, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Canada’s seat could get hot without a drastic change.

Sunday morning, he offered an update on Canada’s status.

“Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael have received the support of their head coaches publicly. But if production doesn’t ramp up, their respective seats will be hot, based on conversations with sources close to the situation.
